The Music Thread

"When I played my first solo show in Ireland, I said something onstage to the effect that I'd recently realized that most of my songs were either about a) apparitions or b) the weather (or c] both). And immediately someone shouted out, "You've come to the right place, lad!!" I'm excited about returning to "the right place" once again. Hope to see you in Kilkenny on May 2 (unless you are an apparition or a storm). (also appearing with the Big Star Quintet there, on May 1, with special guest Norman Blake. "

If you like this kind of music (I do), this is a nice little ditty. Throw in the rest and it’s even more interesting…

I think my 13yo daughter has good musical tastes. Our tastes overlap a great deal (she likes The Cure, Kate Bush, Bowie for example) but also diverge a good bit. But in the places where we differ, i can respect her musical choices. It's not the bubblegum pop most of her peers listen to. She's turned me on to a few bands. There especially seems to be a 50s music style revival going on that I was unaware of until she started playing it. Including some Elvis style crooner whose name i can'r remember atm.

Here's She And Him that she introduced me to which is pretty styley. You all may have heard this stuff before, but it's new to me. I guess they've been around a decade plus but only recently have taken off?
