Exceelent Music You've Heard Lately

[Teenwolf]

Here's an earlier one from Lonnie Holley, "I Woke Up (In A Fucked Up America)"...

New Bob Dylan album "Rough and Rowdy Ways" is out now. I really like the opener "I Contain Multitudes", but I couldn't get into the album overall. The most traditional blues numbers just grate on me, and the song "Key West" is so corny, an album ruiner. Also the cover artwork for the album has to be the most hideous cover I've seen in a many years.

But I'll share the opener here. Maybe some others will like the album more than me. I really like albums from artists at the end of their lives, generally. Been obsessed with the latest Swamp Dogg release. But this one didn't do it for me.

I am not sure what to make of this. I posted Murder Most Foul when it came out.

I listened to it. Thought it was OK but I never felt the desire to listen to it again.

I like to listen to old people tell stories of the past. This does not seem like that. This is almost depressing to me.

This is the album I've listened to the most since I was last here, "Departure Songs" by We Lost the Sea



crazy uplifting post-rock

I quite like this new song from John K. Samson of The Weakerthans. It mixes fantasy baseball and politics in a way that feels personal to me.

"I manage my fantasy baseball team better
Than I manage my anger these days.
I'd trade my best pitcher for a draft pick
And a picture of the President writhing in pain.
Its a weird thing to wish for but I can't stop wishing
Refreshing the browser some day.
If I live long enough and the world doesn't end
my wish will come true in a way.
And he'll die like we all die, in pain or asleep.
And we'll still have our fantasy baseball.
And the next fascist fucker in line for the job
of demolishing hope for us all.
So I'm putting in love now.
I'm putting in faith.
Putting fear on a long-term IL.
I'm going outside. I'm gonna help organize
something better. Something beautiful."

This is a pretty weird 2 piece band. Its a mix of many genres, punk, break core, jazz, and they dress as clowns and have fun. They've been around for a decade but only released their debut full length recently.

I love the appearance of a "3rd member" in this song to hold down 1 keyboard note to back up the sax solo. Quality stuff.

I've never seen a show in a porta potty, but a few bathrooms. You couldn't do a punk rock show with an audience from a porta potty though. Fuckers would tip it for sure.

This is very warm and pleasant = and actually musically solid too

[Teenwolf]

I stumbled across this metal guitarist who started creating songs to accompany lunatic right wingers ranting, and it's pretty awesome. Totally reminds me of the 80's and 90's metal trend of including weird monologues set to foreboding metal. Industrial music in particular used this to great effect. I loved the rant in the Ministry cover of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut".

He's only been doing the political content for the last couple months. But its pretty provocative without including a single word of commentary. Very cool.

[Teenwolf]

Here's the Black Sabbath cover I mentioned. It actually has a very similar pummeling rhythm to the one I posted above with the crazy preacher lady.

I never really paid much attention to Albert Collins until recently. Dude was awesome. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was pretty damn good as well.

Lol at the end of this video when the emcee with the heavy accent says "Albert Collins and The Icebreakers". Actually, "The Assbreakers" would be a great name for a band.

A Swiss mountain coaster brought me here:

This is the first song from Silk Sonic's upcoming debut album. It's a collaboration between Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. They are supposed to make their TV debut at the Grammys on Sunday. This old school R&B sound has been missing from today's music.

[Bene Futuis]

Wow! That was really, really great. Thanks for sharing!

Brian comes in about the 8:20 ish mark.

I have been listening to this song since it got posted late last year and I keep assuming it will blow up, but it still only have 50k views, which is low for songs posted on triplej (and about 1/500 of them are mine), so I am posting it here in case anyone needs a new upbeat work out song.
