+1 David_Ten, Lambchop is a great band
Yonder Mountain String Band / The show
Folk Rock |
Hey Boxer.
you ever hear Band of Susans?
picked up an album by them today from the $1 bins, Love Agenda.
think it’s right up your street. |
Where do you guys hear about all these terrific bands??! |
Carp
you should hang out at the turntable thread.
trust me those guys come out with bands I have never heard of every day! |
Uber, I have not but will check them out. Thanks!
Carp,
As Uber stated the TT thread is a great resource. In addition to that I spend a fair amount of time on the "allmusic" site & to a lesser extent, "pitchfork".
Billy Bragg & Wilco / Mermaid Ave., Vol II |

@boxer12 Yes. Lambchop is excellent.
@carpathian "Where do you guys hear about all these terrific bands??!" Roon Discovery / personalized algorithms |
Without You --- Masters of Persian Music (Iranian ~ Persian Classical / Traditional) [dastgah nava / ’minor scale’]
I prefer the vocal dominant tracks on this album. Mohammed Reza Shajarian is pure vocal treasure! |
I tried with USA presidential debate, but it was just distortion.
Coldplay - Yellow after that. |
A Distortion Of Love --- Patricia Barber
@glupson Coincidental, maybe apropos... : ) |
david_ten, I may not be Patricia Barber’s fan, but she is surely not distortion. Next time, I will not risk my ears again. I am going straight to The Muppet Show Album. I am serious. It is well-written, well-played, and actually pleasant. My choice of two old men...

The Changing of the Guard - Starflyer 59
... bit of alternative rock. They remind of a modern take on The Smiths, including the throaty voice of the lead singer. Good recordings too, sonically. |
Sparklehorse / Wonderful life |
Jun Märkl Conducts Debussy. Complete Orchestral works box set (9 CD’s). Orchestre National de Lyon. Naxos 2012. Wonderful set.
playing CD’s 7&8.

La Niña --- La Mala Rodriguez (Spanish Rap / Hip-Hop circa 2003) The music video of the title track was banned on Spanish TV because it depicts a very young girl as drug dealer.

Interesting David
The Fiery Furnaces / Bitter tea
My favorite from this band. To bad they didn't release it on vinyl. This band is different. Lots of time & chord changes. |
@boxer12 What’s coincidentally interesting is that she is from Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz and I just happen to be trying out a new (for me) cocktail for the first time made from equal parts Amontillado and Vermouth. Sherry or Jerez is from her birthplace. I’m using a French vermouth. I missed out hearing her live at the club scene in Spain during my time there ’99-’01. Here is one recipe / option, for those interested: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/3388/bamboo-cocktail-diffords-perfect-recipeWe have fall like temps, which are nearly 30 degrees cooler for us in New Orleans...therefore the move to Amontillado over Fino. |
+1 for the cocktail, bummer about the cold weather in New Orleans. I'm in Michigan so getting colder weather as expected. At some point I think the wife & I will move to a warmer climate.
Bardo Pond / On the ellipse
Indie rock for the adventurous |
Boxer, not cold. It's gorgeous weather. For us going from a feels like in the 100s to temps in the 60s/70s is a major (and welcome) change. |
