Extra impactful performance of this song last night on SNL.

I've been spending my day off listening to the new Springteen album - Letter to You.

I wonder who the "criminal clown who's stolen the throne" in The House of a Thousand Guitars could possibly be?

Ok dang that song was flipping sweet, Serenity.

Hurrah!

EDM and the culture of Vegas residency DJs and the amount of celebrity and fame they have has always been an odd one to me. Marshmello? I know they are good in hot cocoa and on smores. The Chain Smokers? I only know that as being bad for your health. Dead Mouse? Well, I've done in a few with those slick mouse trap deals (is that still a thing btw?). I guess what I am saying is I'm not really too keen on EDM DJs and guys who stand behind a deck and just push buttons. You want to show skills, get them turn tables spinning, then we can talk.

^^^ Necessary setup. With that rant out of my system, I have to profess I do enjoy this, so I guess it really is just about the music? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ill advised wardrobe choice, but a pretty solid rockin' tune. I think only Robert Plant was able to pull that look off. Oh and Bon Scott of AC/DC too. The whole "pants so tight, I can see your "


[EDIT] oh yeah, Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas too https://www.youtube....h?v=n6MkpgAPCLE

Just because it's that time of year...

Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

The Lost Christmas Eve (Full Album)

Weird mix of rock band, orchestra and stage musical. With three Christmas albums... because why not?

Noooooo! So I was listening to NPR, and they had a segment with year in review stuff, and to my disdainful chagrin, during part of it, they interviewed Anthony Fontano (aka "the Internet's busiest music nerd"). That hipster music dork really grates on me for some reason. But I gotta give him props, he mentioned this Japanese folk artist as one of the best of 2020, and I got to tell you she is sublime. Seek our her stuff, you won't be disappointed.

Loved this the minute I heard it. This guy wanted to create a tribute to The Strangler's keyboardist (who had died from Covid), and the saxophonist from the Dave Brubeck Quartet (who's anniversary was around the same time). And thus, with a bit of video editing, some looping, and recording his own saxophone skill, he made this.
It's like a comfy pair of slippers.

Came across this track randomly and it immediately went on the playlist.
I was familiar with Hannah Georgas by name, but I don't think id heard any of her songs. The fact that this track had Matt Berninger (lead singer for The National) as a duet, made me curious.
Their voices work really well together. But the measure of how well written this song is, is how beautiful it sounds when it's just Hannah Georgas on her own. She has such an emotive voice.
Here's the duet.


And here's the solo (live) version

Wagakki Band live streamed the second night of their annual New Year Party today, from Nippon Budokan. They had a socially distanced audience, who were asked not to cheer or sing, only clap. The first two songs were shown at full quality on YouTube (starting at 30 mins in).

New Band-Maid song, Manners

The most exciting band I've discovered in the last while has been Bitch Falcon, from Dublin. I hear bits of Savages, Alice in Chains, Chvrches, Cocteau Twins in there. The entire album is great, but here's a recent video
