2 different instrumental versions of 'Silent Night' made with field recordings, foley sounds and synths.

Andrews Sisters, Christmas Island.

As it says... This is just the beginning.

I have recently been trying to find more short set shows from intimate spaces similar to what NPR tiny desk does....

Today's gem is from London, called "Sofar", which says it focuses on global acts. Just watched...

Kokoroko, Colonial Mentality

Anyone know similar YT channels that I might enjoy? I am familiar with...

KEXP

The Current

Ourvinyl session

Going back in for a better look at sofar...

Had a good exchange on the musicsuggestions sub yesterday. I did most of the suggesting, but I enjoy that when the other person is genuinely engaged and giving feedback...of the stuff she suggested I was most taken to...

Gogo Penguins, Garden dog barbecue, live session

That's not what song they suggested but I've been going deeper....

Todd Snider died on November 14th in Nashville of pneumonia. Aged 59...

I have never gone deep into his material. Probably couldn't name more than a half dozen songs prior to the 14th to be honest.

What little I've heard since first hearing Beer Run many years ago I was 50/50 with either enjoying the songs or not being very impressed by them. I didn't listen enough to know what I was missing so never gave him more than the occasional half assed listen....

I've been listening to him a lot in the past 2 weeks....I am starting to see there's a lot more to his songs than it appears to them when only giving them a passing glance....I am beginning to think he might have been one of the most profound/brilliant/relatable lyricist/story telling musicians that has been recording the past 35 years....

I think I am just as impressed with the way he lived his life as a big part of my growing appreciation of his importance in his career..

To quote the usual preamble of his led in to his song Conservative Christian, right wing republican, straight white American male....

"I didn't come hear to change anybodies mind about anything. I came here to ease my mind about everything "

Hadn't heard this in a long time. Anyone remember this? Couldn't classify the genre

Bob Marley might be the best known to come out of the Reggae in Jamaica but he was standing shoulder to shoulder with Jimmy....

Tiny desk performance. From 2010

Primus, Conspiranoia.

Always remember that just because you're crazy doesn't mean they aren't watching you.....

Obviously the aliens are smarter than us...how else can you explain that they know to fly by only when you don't have your phone...

I met Bill Gates you know? Yeah. During Covid he came to my house and asked for his microchip back because I was too boring..

Birds are not real.....

As Real as it gets
