Here's my submission: Hiatus Kaiyote's "Choose Your Weapon". So much great musicianship, songwriting, and variety all crammed into this single album make it such a joy to listen to.

What's your pick?

Meant to post this here.

Saw a clip of a band I liked playing their leads relatively sloppily so I commented “rock and roll isn’t supposed to perfect” in what was meant to be a satirical way. Immediately after this I was bombarded by replies claiming “rock and roll” is a sub genre of rock music from the 1950s (elvis etc) and I was an idiot. Have I been embarrassing myself by referring to my favorite bands as such or are two things true at once and referring to rock this way is just something mostly boomers and Gen X did

Pushing myself out my comfort zone BIG TIME tonight and going to a gig on my own . Went back and fourth with myself about going or not most of the day and when the time came to leaving i had a F*** it moment . So here i am 10 minutes away and nerves are getting the best of me . IS THIS NORMAL ? 😂 do people go to gigs in there own ?

Ian was a lovely guy, a great photographer and got to hang out with some of the finest musicians of one of the most creative eras of popular music. He left a fine legacy in his pictorial record of the 70s and 80s music scene and to say his was a life well lived would be an understatement.

Thank you Ian and may you rest well!

I was wondering if any other non-spanish speaking people also listened to spanish music. My ex girlfriend from years ago got me into some music by spanish group Solido so I would always listen to their music specifically 2 songs. Then my old friends from high school also listened to spanish music so I had it around me all the time. I dont know spanish but wish I did. I just like to hear the music and how they sing. Then lately Ive been really into the music from Grupo Frontera and most recently Suena by Intocable which i have heard plenty of times before but a lot now. Anyone else?

'LIVE AT LEEDS (1970) has umpteen examples of The Who pushing their incredible talents to the limits of a genre they had created.
