Hey amazing music loving community, what are you listening to right now?
Links not necessary (but always welcome), any genre answered, a wide open no judgement question!
I’m working on a cover of an Icehouse song, does that count ?
I’m listening to Ghosteen by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This album is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. One starts to hear shades of it on Push the Sky Away and it develops further on Skeleton Tree, and this record feels like the band finishing what they started on those two albums. Nick’s lyrics are open and honest (and open to interpretation) and the influence of Warren Ellis can be heard all across this album. The title track is an absolute epic. Well worth a listen.
Right this second it is The Rolling Stones playing Ruby Tuesday.
Our Love To Admire - Interpol
Yours To Keep - Albert Hammond Jr.
Humbug - Arctic Monkeysthe three are on rotation rn
Listening to crying lightning as I type this.
I’m listening to a selection of indigenous artists from the Arctic. Here are some of the albums I’ve been listening to:
Sofia Jannik - “ORDA - This is my land” and “lávvu” Uyarakq -" whale dick" and "survival guide to the high north " Kitok - “paradise Jokkmokk” Riit - ataataga Aasiva - “niriunniq” Katarina barruk - ruhttuo
I’ve discovered Municipal Waste a few hours ago. Absolute banger band.

“Lovely Day” radio (Bill Withers)
Actually yields a surprisingly good mix…
If I may recommend - I’m a HUGE fan of old school R&B and soul, but once Sharon Jones hit the scene over the past 15-20 years, what I call “revival soul” has been so so so amazing! So many modern bands going back to the old sound! I have a spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5o3TgsTajPiYH1JUqLuAm6?si=1c45e206d663444c
But, if you aren’t on spotify, try a pandora station built off Sharon Jones, Curtis Harding, Lady Wray, Lee Fields, The Tesky Brothers, Durand Jones, - ugh! so much good music!!!
@ren okay, this playlist is SO GOOD. So effing good!
And now I have a bunch of bands to delve more deeply into.
Nice work! #music #nowlistening #soul #revivalSoul
Awesome! Soul revival is just 👩🍳💋
@ren Imported!
Perf!
@ren When they were on tour just before her death they played Santa Cruz CA, where I was living at the time, and I REALLY wanted to go to the show (even though I really didn’t know anything about them at the time) but couldn’t due to personal commitments.
I SO wish I’d been able to go to that show. -sigh-
I feel so lucky to have seen her 3 different times. Once before she hit, once after, and once more in NYC post-cancer recovery. Just amazing.
The first time we saw her we went down to Jacksonville and saw her in a dive bar on Super Bowl Sunday. Just 10 of us in the whole crowd dancing to get putting it all on on this tiny stage.
Amazing and unforgettable.
@ren The Stooges Down On The Street
Currently - Alex Lahey, Young Fathers, going through Cocteau Twins discography (mostly listened to HOLV and Treasure before that)
RIGHT NOW?
John Corabi - Unplugged
I watched the new “I Wanna Rock: The 80s Metal Dream” series this week and was again reminded that Corabi has always been interesting to me, but I’ve never given him a fair shake. Once this album is over, I’ll listen to the album he did with The Scream and then wrap it up with the Crüe album he did.
Decent series though. I think that keeping it’s scope focused on just like 5 or so people was both a strength and weakness. But certainly other ways to hear other voices and perspectives if you want it.
So alternative. 🤣
