One of my favorite esoteric music jokes from the great Sanjeev Kohli: "Little known facts about them -- they were not actually twins, but they did have cocks for toes." Fine follow on Twitter @govindajeggy. Nobody does worse puns.
August 14, 20223 yr Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (Remastered) Charles Mingus 1960 https://album.link/i/1610350703 Example: Good performance. But also made him sound like kind of a dick. Don't applaud, don't make any noise, just sit there and shut up and listen we are busy up here.

That's something that I've noticed in most of his recordings, they way they're mixed giving him prominence, the cover pictures... His live performances seem to reinforce that feeling of a guy being too glad of meeting himself for he's so important. Whatever, a fine musician nonetheless.
August 16, 20223 yr Cruel Country Wilco 2022 https://album.link/i/1621315138 Example: Tis a Cruel Country. Overall, a nice album.
August 18, 20223 yr LYS Mari Samuelsen Scoring Berlin Jonathan Stockhammer 2022 https://album.link/i/1614703352 Example: I enjoy listening to this album so much. A diverse set of tracks that I just keep playing (three days in rotation). Need more Mari.
August 19, 20223 yr So I came across this EP in my queue (I have a lot of things in my Q) Sola Melissa Parmenter 2021 I liked it - which led me to her last Album: Messapica Melissa Parmenter 2020 https://album.link/i/1526705693 Example: The Albums only problems is that it is short. Delicate pieces with lovely melody and structure. And then I just played the next thing in the queue - just happen to be another short album. Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Op. 90, MWV N 16 "Italian" Orpheus Chamber Orchestra 2021 https://album.link/i/1570823392 Example - People like the first movement - I like the last: A very good modern performance. It may not be my go to for this work, but it good.
August 19, 20223 yr New Pale Waves! Somehow missed this one when it came out last week. Unwanted - Pale Waves
August 20, 20223 yr The new Heilung album, Drif. Enjoying it, a little more polished and less primal in many songs, compared to their other albums. So far, very good but not great....I'm sure it'll grow on me some more.

And production, apparently. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1315448/#composer

I will check out her soundtrack work later. - thx
August 21, 20223 yr High School friend posted a bit of video, she was seeing these folks live. Fun Surf-Horror-Rock band from St. Petersburg. They have quite the output, apparently having been around since 1998 in one form or another. So checking some stuff out. Several songs are kind of Dick Dale meets Vincent Price 😄
August 21, 20223 yr Love is an Art Vanessa Carlton 2020 https://album.link/i/1491832112 Example: So this song came up the other day - As it does in life: And it is still an awesome bop. So it got me wondering what is up with Vanessa these days. Still making music. She had a 2020 release (above). It was a good listen. I enjoyed the playing and the production a lot. It would be interesting to go see her with just a piano and keyboard setup.

So far, very good but not great....I'm sure it'll grow on me some more. Over all I like the vibe of it. New to me. Let us know if there is something else in the catalog to check out, that is on your list. Also new to me. Negative Act of Denial 2021 https://album.link/i/1575238753 Example: Melodic Death Metal. I didn't know I need this in my life, now I do. Kind of a Metal supergroup from a collection of good players.
August 23, 20223 yr @mikeymad, for Heilung any of their previous stuff is good IMO. More "primitive," with some plodding but somehow involving percussion. Ofnir (2015), Futha (2019), and the live album Lifa (2017)....all have received some heavy rotation. Not every song hits my ears and tastebuds well, but overall have liked it a lot.
August 23, 20223 yr This is everything I know by Heilung -- their onstage charisma is unarguable: Tried to listen to one of their albums once, failed. I ended up just going back to the above video.
