December 25, 20214 yr It's December 25th, so I'm listening to my project that I wrote for today 2 years ago (it's drone/dark ambient/noise, so don't even bother if that doesn't sound like anything you listen to): Also, Chris Meloche, Recurring Dreams of the Urban Myth, the album that heavily inspired it (also Wubworld, but I didn't listen to that today, I was a little droned out) : https://silentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/recurring-dreams-of-urban-myth Also, more Placebo, Mt. Mountain, Yuragi, Porter Robinson, Holy Monitor, and Flyying Colours.
January 1, 20224 yr Rotem Sivan - Antidote It's available on Qobuz and probably other streaming services on better sound quality than free Bandcamp. I found this guitarist on YouTube for he posts some lessons on theory, which end up being more about his perception of music and tone than tips you can use on your playing or training. Either way his music is not conventional yet not being weird or "too free". This album also sounds terrific. Edited January 1, 20224 yr by Torpedo
January 3, 20224 yr More jazz for a sunny morning. It's 14º (50ºF) outside, that should be 5-6º (41ºF) if things were normal. Enjoying of a few vacation days they owed me. Chick Corea Akoustic Band: Live I think I've posted this before. It's so damn fucking good

January 8, 20224 yr On 1/3/2022 at 1:51 PM, Voltron said: I am curious what you think of Bitches Brew. Unrelated -- me: Wilderun, Epigone. I have been really looking forward to this -- metal, mix of clean singing and harsh, with orchestration -- but what elevates this above other metal with orchestration is that the two members of the band responsible for the orchestration are sublime soundtrack musicians by day, so the orchestration is integral to the music, rather than just being "accompaniment".
January 16, 20224 yr I've been listening to a lot of great fusion lately. Easily my favourite discovery of the year are Fox Capture Plan. They have 2 2021 releases, and they're both top tier for me. Damn, I wish I could play jazz. This is from NEBULA(ネヴュラ): (Not sure why it's failing to embed -- the live event is long since past, yes, but I'm watching/listening to the YouTube video right now. The event was the video released timed to coincide with a meteor stream.) This is from Xronicle:
January 18, 20224 yr The Raveonettes – Lust Lust Lust Tears for Fears – Songs from the Big Chair Edited January 18, 20224 yr by HiWire
January 21, 20224 yr Just your standard run-of-the-mill Ambient Avant-Garde Piano Folk music by a lovely Armenian woman....😄 Actually quite nice with some neat sound touches.
January 28, 20224 yr Man, hard for old people to replicate the power of young people's falling in or out of love's all-in perspective (or at least fake it in song).
January 29, 20224 yr I just discovered Mark Lettieri made two albums devoted to the baritone guitar, so I am about to listen to Deep: The Baritone Sessions and Deep: The Baritone Sessions Vol. 2. Example that started me on this trip:
