What Are You Listening To?

[oblong]

I was not into that music at the time but I also appreciate when someone I know has good taste making suggestions.  It takes a lot of effort to listen to new music for me.

I used to really like "If It Feels Good Do It" but never really got into anything else of theirs.

I think it must have been on a Canadian TV series I watched ~20 years ago.

 

Sloan has a lot of great songs. Most of my favorites are on Navy Blues. She Says What She Means, Iggy & Angus, Money City Maniacs, Chester The Molester. On other albums: The Good In Everyone, Underwhelmed, Coax Me, Snowsuit Sound. Underwhelmed is probably my overall favorite track of theirs.

Funny, when MCS mentioned Sloan and their hooks, I meant to reply that no Canadian band has better hooks than the New Pornographers. 
 

This song has the added bonus of reminding me how Vancouver looked and felt in the year 2000.

Country music isn't dead, you just won't find anything good on the radio these days. You have to look to music blogs and streaming services to find good stuff like this from Megan Moroney and her new album Lucky. Good stuff with raw emotion, and actual country arrangements.

I love me some Neko Case.

She's still involved in some of the songwriting and on the studio versions and performs with them at special events like album launches or tv appearances. Dan Bejar of Destroyer i believe is no longer  involved, although did contribute at least one song (the opening single?) to the album. It's really Carl Newman's band now, with help from Kathryn Calder.

I don't know much about the group other than she's been involved with them. I know a little more about her solo stuff. through about 10 years ago, anyway.

Neko lives in either upstate New York or Massachusetts and a few years ago her house either burned down or was severely damaged by a fire.  She begged the small town newspaper not to mention her name in the article.  Why?   Stalkers.   Every female performer has them.    They referenced her anyway.   ****ty move.

I have but 2 hours,  there will be many sibling artists missed.   I will play the Kinks, Stooges and Beach Boys (and many indie artists) however.

Black Crowes count?  I don't mean the rock radio staples but you could find some hidden gems with more of an indie sound.

There is going to be an extended Spotify playlist with a bunch of artists that I did not have time for and The Robinson boys will be on that list.      It's an indie-oriented show meant to highlight songs and artists that you don't get to hear during the week (but probably should)

I made this Black Crowes playlist which purposely avoids all the radio hits except "Remedy" because that is such a great freaking song.

 

[Motor City Sonics]

There you go.................I finalized the show this afternoon (I have to send it to a few stations by Friday at 10am) and then the Watson Twins come out with a new song.  Oh well, it'll have to be on the Spotify list.  

 

Here are some of the artists

Co-Picks Of The Week

BAILEN (4 songs),  The Lemon Twigs (4 songs), Joseph (3 songs)  

plus

The Kinks, The Hives, Breeders, Beach Boys,  Radiohead, The National (2 songs because they have 2 sets of brothers), The Hives, The Teskey Brothers, Stooges and several others.

If you like hard rock with a bit of a punk rock edge, this is my friend's band.

Saved it to my "Active Pop" YT playlist. Thanks for the tip.

My buddy just shared this with me.  I remember seeing it awhile ago so I wouldn't be surprised if Oblong posted it here before.  It's just a rehearsal so the quality isn't great, but fun watching them talk it through and roll with it.

 

[oblong]

Chris has soul....  I always got Peter Wolf vibes from him.  That video is relatively recent so I never shared it.  It has their new drummer, bassist, and keyboard players.  

I wish I liked Aerosmith so that I could justify seeing the Black Crowes when they come here.  Chris played at the Crofoot a few years ago and I couldn't go, was very bummed.  To see him in such an intimate setting would have been great.

I haven't voluntarily listened to terrestrial radio in almost 20 years at this point, but love throwing down 20 dollars at a bar and requesting about 20 songs on Touch Tunes to see if anybody knows them. I honestly have no idea if the stuff I listen to is played on the radio.

I'm a fan of NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, at least to the point of following them on Feedly. 

This is the winner of the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest, a couple from Utah. I don't epect them to be super successful, but I like the sound

Not for nothing, I would venture to guess that not a single one of them has purchased deodorant in several years.

I've noticed I wear deodorant less and less these days.  i work from home. It's not an automatic thing but I often work out during the early evening so I won't put any on if I know I'm doing that, except a group class.  Then when I get home and shower before bed I obviously don't wear any.  Weekends I do of course.  If I go into the office I will too.
