Recently enjoying music by Jonah Kagen, I love this one and Broken.

I think that I may have introduced this album before; it bears repeating. Music for a Sushi Restaurant. Holy crap, what a title for a body of work and the song of the same name is great (imho). The whole album works.

Imo this is the best cover I’ve heard of this song. I love it more than the original. He’s so talented.

Listening to Masterpieces by (Duke) Ellington (Uncut concert arrangements released Jan 1, 1951) (digitized by Sony 2004) via Tidal through HEOS app on my Marantz AVR. This mono recording is fantastic. If you have the chance, it's well worth a listen on a decently good system. I got my exercise in when dancing around to Tattoo Bride. It may not have been pretty, but it is what it is.

I know it's Friday night, but it's Monday somewhere, isn't it?

I apologize if someone already posted this one within the last couple of years. *drops the ear worm and scampers away*

Wow, I’m listening to Radiohead’s In Rainbows and it’s absolutely (or - effing) brilliant! One song leading into the other just makes me want to listen to the next song. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to this and I’m just now listening to the work in a newish space (I’ve been here nearly one-point-five years) for the first time. Every time you listen to a work of music in a new space it’s different (I’m not making this up) and it strikes you differently. I’ve spent a not insignificant amount of time getting my system to ‘sing’ in a way that I know that it can do here in my newish environment. The room dimensions have changed in … well, every dimension — from 4,000 cubic feet to 2,400 cubic feet, nearly half of the space. 
 

Attempting to incorporate two thirteen inch SVS sub-bass drivers with a pair of full-range Bowers and Wilkins floor standing speakers (683 S2) capable of reaching in-room bass response of 46Hz +/- is difficult.

I will say that I think that I have the right of it. My music system is humble when considering the money you can spend if you’re looking for the absolute sound $$$$. But, with a little luck and some sacrifice a very musical system is available. The music sounds so good!

I'm not sure if anyone's already shared this. But I've been listening to all 40 songs for the last two weeks as if it's all just one big song, and this is why (it's worth watching the entire playlist...different animators, but one cohesive story!):

WOW! This Welsh guy is something else. Sadly, he acquired Lyme disease which was misdiagnosed for years and developed autoimmune conditions and subsequent brain damage. This is from 2022, he is now thirty-five-years old. This song is about all of it, at that time. Again, I say, WOW! Rap, spoken word, a conversation between light and darkness and his guitar playing is a thing of beauty.

Can I escape back to my twenties?

I just finished listening to Elton John’s and Brandi Carlyle’s new release called Who Believes in Angels?. BORING! Man did these two artists miss the boat and landed in the water. This album is NOT a work for the time we live in, it isn’t even a comfort because it sounds so downbeat despite its musical pretensions. Clearly, more than anything else, I believe it is a swan-song for Elton, though sadly not a good effort at that. Save yourself; don’t expect miracles from this work.

Fink’s newest release: Beauty In Your Wake is a stunningly great work. If you’re into music that moves the more adult interest of GA, then this should be on your radar. I’ve gone back and listened to earlier works by the artist — and the music is good — but here Fink surpasses his earlier work in my opinion. Well worth a listen!

Listening to INXS (from the Way-Back history of 1987-88) because sometimes you just need a little KICK.

Edit to add: @Jason Rimbaud You may appreciate my wording. 😎

The new Imagine Dragons release is a rather hit and miss effort for me. And, to complicate things they’ve released at least two versions titled differently. Typically, I would listen to something new a couple of times to get a feel for the rhyme and rhythm of the work before beginning any critical listening  … But, I have to say right off the bat that the songs presented here having a great amount of electronic manipulation, are the failings of this otherwise reasonably listenable album.

FYI: I’m a fan of the band, so this isn’t some over generalized put down.
