The Music Thread

Well, I think I have all the songs I have liked on Spotify down to 7120 favorites, being favorite songs or by favorite artists
 
Saw Chapel Hill native Porter Robinson put on an absolutely epic show in Charlotte on Wednesday night. If anyone likes really good electro pop music, he’s fantastic.
 
That's one of my all time favorite albums. This is maybe the one that spoke to me most at the time since I was a preacher's stepson and that was the year I had to register for the draft.

 
Did you see them when they were at the Arts Center in Carrboro about a decade ago. Three or four of us went. It was kind of funny hearing some of the Canadian students talk about seeing them in such a small venue. They're pretty much a stadium act in Canada. I don't know how many Junos they've won.

Needless to say, I'm a fan.
 
Here's someone else who's been flying under the radar for a long time while making a lot of good music, first with Green on Red, on his own and teaming up a lot with Alejandro Escovedo.

 
Speaking of music, I learned what a septet is today.

Mowing the yard today and I set Spotify to play a '90's playlist. Lots of memories and songs that I've not listened to in a long time.

Does that mean you are also needing education about octets and nonets?

I wouldn't normally recommend the Peter Brotzmann Octet to most people, but then again, IIRC you dig Napalm Death . . . Not saying that you'll like Machine Gun but there's a chance

😁

So, not now. I knew what a quartet was, now that I have context an octet and nonet are understandable.

Interesting, good memory, I've not listened to Napalm Death since we had that discussion. My wife doesn't like any rock/hard music, and I mostly listen when she is in the truck. Therefore, I listen to a lot more Air Supply than Napalm Death now days. :oops:

When I'm driving alone, I most always listen to podcast or books, very seldom music.

Well, play her the nonet. The Birth Of The Cool. It's not noisy at all, IIRC.

Do not play her the octet, unless you are trying to scare her.

My mind wanders too much for that. I'm way too old to have been diagnosed but I'm almost certainly ADD to some extent. You can pick up a song in the middle or you can put down a book and come back to it ( except when you realize you don't remember a thing you read for at least the last five paragraphs) but talk shows, podcasts or books on tape just don't work.

I just leave the radio on SiriusXM's Outlaw Country. Not a lot of talk. Most of it is fairly well informed. The country element varies greater, the outlaw not nearly so much. Most of the DJs are musicians. Mojo Nixon until he died, Buddy Miller who I really like as an artist and his buddy JIm Lauderdale, Steve Earle and a couple more.

My mind wanders a lot also. I have struggles focusing for long periods of time now days.

I find that I don't pick up the details, but I pick up enough to understand. If it's a really good podcast, I'll go back and read the transcript or listen again.
