What Are You Listening To?

[kosmo vinyl]

This is why I find doing best of year list a fruitless effort... I just found out about The Longshot, Billie Joe Armstrong’s power pop leaning side project that came out this year... one listen and it’s rather enjoyable

That and a new Egyptian Lover album also from last year

This is why I find doing best of year list a fruitless effort...

So next year...I propose you do a best of XX list, but don't release it until February, so then you can update it until the last minute to ensure it's accuracy

Challenged was all over this----

The Longshot show at Black Cat was fun.
Fun covers as well as new songs and Green Day deep cuts.
A ton of stage diving, stage invasions, and general mayhem.

Kenny Dorham- Una mas


Original blue note lp


I went through a patch about 15 years ago where I became obsessed with this record label and tried to pick up as many original pressings but funnily enough I don’t listen to nearly as much jazz...like I overdosed....still every once in a while it hits the spot

I will probably unload a few this year as they have only gone up in value

Tom Waits - Heartattack and Vine (white label promo)


This is so good!!! Top tier Waits...

Kind of makes me wish he had never met Kathleen or discovered Burma or made so much money he could basically retire

[StoneTheCrow]

Thee Oh Sees. Somewhat new to them and decided to go way back and move forward.

The old stuff (started at Sucks Blood) is a bit of a surprise. Not bad but not at all what I expected to hear.

I love Massey Hall which was recorded within 24 hours of my birth...

This one is from about two weeks later... I guess arguably at his other "home".. a bootleg I picked up a few years ago that I just dug out from the basement

Neil Young solo is pretty damn great gotta say...

[Bagley]

Dean Wareham vs Cheval Sombre's version of the old cowboy ballad  Wayfaring Stranger.  Actually watching the video.  Dean appears to be vaping at one point-don't think I've seen that happen in a music video.
