That's a good call. If you get that thread going, let me know and I'll definitely participate. Have you heard Sandro Perri? sounds_sound's most recent introduction and I love it.

Here is one of my favorites

The pacing of that is very odd, but calming.

I think if I remember on Sunday's I'll thread a "what did you listen to this week" sort of thing.

Drugs and lo-fi

Wolfman is better. But you knew I would say that. I was lucky enough to see him play live last year in an old movie theater turned venue. Maybe 20 people there or so. Great band.

I did know. It's a great song and that is a hell of a performance. Is that they same lineup you saw? They sound great.

No. The line up I saw was the drummer that you see there and the bass player that you see there, making 3 total. All of his buddies are multi-instrumentalists so there is a lot of depth there. The bass player for example, was playing the flute bits when I saw them. Sandro's music has a bit of Jazz structure to it too, so I would guess that they're all able to transcribe quickly. One difference with that song in particular is that the flute part that is the long linear progression of scale, up then down the up again, was played by Perri himself on his guitar. That's how we hear it on the album as well. I find it's a much more satisfying part on the guitar than the flute. That's just preference though.
