José González, one of my favorite voices in music, released a new album this week. I can’t get enough of El Invento.
Your favorite songs are lovingly destroyed by There I Ruined It. Some favs…
I’m obsessed with the olllam right now. They are a blend of Irish folk and Post-Rock. Fans of Tortoise or The Sea and Cake should check it out.
Today we lost one of the greatest songwriters. Thanks for your music John.
KEXP had Mandolin Orange, one of my favorite bands, in for a Tiny Desk Concert.
Tortoise performed TNT live at The Art Institute of Chicago’s Midwinter 2019. I know what I’ll be listening to during work tomorrow.
This afternoon, while working on new type styles in the Minted Component Library, I turned on a live stream of Mexican Institute of Sound. Incredible sound coming from these guys. It’s certainly boosting my productivity!
KEXP just posted a set by Phosphorescent. Love this band.
Hey Spotify, thanks for putting Serenade To A Poodle in my Discover Weekly playlist. I have no idea what I’ve been listening to that made you think I’d like that, but it put a smile on my face.
Best thing I’ve found on the internet in a long time. Pure talent and creativity.
John Prine is in town tonight, and sadly I’m not there. Hopefully I’ll catch him at Red Rocks someday. For tonight, I’ll pour a glass of wine and listen to Fair and Square.
Getting the weekend started with Blue Screen Life by Pinback. Released 17 years ago in October, still one of my favorite albums. Listen on Spotfiy.
KEXP just posted a set from Pedro the Lion recorded live in their studio this past December. I was obsessed with their album Control in 2002. I’ll have to blast that on the big speakers today.
Recently, I ran across “Loney, Noir” by Loney Dear on an old hard drive, it was one of my favorite albums ten years ago. I went to listen to it on Spotify, and what do you know, he has a new album. It’s going to be another favorite.
I stumbled onto Jeffrey Martin tonight and just had to stop everything I was doing and listen to a few albums straight through. Great way to end the week.
Getting this cloudy Fall Friday started off with a little Chris Stapleton. I love a good cover, and Chris does a great job with “Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning”, a song made famous by Willie Nelson.
Getting the day started with “+/-” by Buke and Gase.
The War on Drugs has a new album out, and I’m loving it. They are going to be in Chicago on my birthday… mmm, maybe I should grab some tickets. Listen on Spotfiy.
