I don’t feel like everything on the new Black Pumas album works, but I do at least give them points for trying new things, and for not repeating the exact sound of the first record.

Been revisiting some of Grant-Lee Phillips’ early solo records in recent weeks, and I forgot what a fantastic alt-country album “Virginia Creeper” is.
I think I’ve done a complete 180 on the new Corinne Bailey Rae album. I was really disappointed with it initially, but I’m really starting to dig the clangy & challenging nature of it.
I’m definitely not the target audience for her music, but, I watched Ice Spice on SNL last night, and…does she usually put forth that little effort in her performances? Maybe it was a cover for nerves or something, but she looked rather bored.
Oooh…didn’t know we were getting a new Land of Talk album today. Cool!
Finally have 20 albums that are year end list worthy. It has felt like tough sledding all year. And honestly, I could use 2-3 really good albums before the end of the year to bolster the bottom of that list.
New season of Austin City Limits kicks off this weekend with Rodrigo y Gabriela featuring the Austin Symphony Orchestra. I caught the tail end of the stream of the taping months back, and what little I saw was incredible. Check your local PBS listings for airtimes, but I think this has the potential to be an all timer.
Man…seeing the clips of those three songs Johnny Marr joined in on at that PJ Harvey show have me both over the moon and green with envy.
Really great conversation between Mazzy and Rhino's Jason Jones on the new "Tim" boxset.
Wilco in studio at kutx.org right now. Stream it if you see this soon enough.
So I guess in 2023, if your full length album is over 35 minutes, then you were indulgent in the studio? I don’t need 77 minutes of music or double albums from everybody, but, some of these new releases go by awfully quick.
So…are we considering Dylan’s “Shadow Kingdom” eligible for year end lists for 2023? Not sure what the consensus is on how to classify this recording.
Do not sleep on Will Johnson’s new album, “No Ordinary Crown”. Figured that warning might help some folks avoid having to revise their end of year lists at the last minute. Songwriting is fantastic as usual, but the production on this record is so, so good.
My Deluxe “Tim” box arrived today. So I know what I’ll be listening to while working tomorrow. The booklet included made for some great reading this evening.
I dig a lot of Nashville, but I don’t really love the whole Broadway bar scene part. Which is like the main part.
I don’t even play guitar, but it’s hard not to drool over some of the vintage guitars on display at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Stax museum was a great first stop this morning for this Memphis/Nashville trip. Embracing being a full blown music nerd tourist.
It would be cool if American Music Club’s pre-“Everclear” recordings were available on streaming services. Just saying. Thankfully still have my old CD copies for whenever I need a fix.
Feels like the Coco Era of women’s tennis just began. Really happy for her breakthrough at the U.S. Open.
So much goodness on the new Slowdive album. -
