Love this band! Have you listened to Turnover? You might like them as well, especially their 2015 album „Peripheral Vision“ sounds very similar.
I just gave the single "Cutting My Fingers Off" a listen and it's not similar enough for my tastes unfortunately.

I do like Kurt Vile's old band The War On Drugs though. Or at least their second and third albums which are the only ones I bought.

I inserted Martin Courtney's solo albums into the Real Estate running order and so far I like Many Moons better than the end of the band's third album Atlas which kind of petered out at the end in my opinion.

Yeah, The War On Drugs are great, I can definitely recommend their albums Lost In The Dream and A Deeper Understanding.
 


You can adjust the playback speed in the settings. Usher is a cool rapper and so is Ludacris. Have always loved this rap song!
 
I‘ve been listening to Burzum‘s third album Hvis Lyset Tar Oss a lot today after not having listened to it in years. It‘s still just as good as I remembered it - Det Som En Gang Var is probably the best black metal song I have ever heard.

Varg Vikernes is an idiot but you can‘t deny he used to make fantastic music.

Did I hear someone say hip-hop?!

 


Set the playback speed in the settings to increase the speed a little.
 
Uhhh, well if people don't like music in a slow fashion, then they would have adjust the settings. See, I know how to do it but others may not if they're younger.

Why not listen to it at the correct speed in the first place rather than listening to it on a YouTube channel dedicated to playing slowed down versions? The channel isn't called Slowed Down Rap for nothing. ;)

Here ya go, correct speed...

 
Decided to head through the Ryo Fukui albums. Such a great Jazz Pianist.

Ok, fair point.


This is a relaxing song...


 
Sad news. One of the drivers I worked with at my old job just passed away. I know he called out sick a couple of days last week because of a severe case of dry mouth. And now I just learned he died a few days ago. I worked with him for 30 years, but we didn’t talk often. I knew he loved music, and was a musician himself. He attended more than 8000 shows since the 1970s, and performed I don’t know how many as a musician himself. I do recall one time, maybe twenty years ago, he happened to be in the office and overheard me mention the musician Peter Himmelman to another driver. Turns out he was a huge fan of Peter Himmelman. So this is for Miro.

Sorry not sorry. I think he's a competent arranger and was more than just a pretty face in his heyday.

I'm so sorry to hear that. R.I.P. Miro.

If, like me, you went to University in the UK in the 90s, you will probably have seen an ABBA tribute band called Bjorn Again appear at least once every term...
They're still performing:

Came across this golden oldy Irish song and the first thing that came to mind was "what is the proper way to pronouce potato?". Sorry

 
They can't pronounce it because the British stole them all.

I'm watching The Blues Brothers (1980) yet again and listening to this compilation as prep. It's basically an expanded version of the compilation cassette tape Jake plays in the Bluesmobile near the start of the movie.

”Earth Wind for Hire”. Okay, I’ll admit it. That one made me laugh.
 


Been listening to this since 1999.
