I've been on a hardcore The Band kick lately.
Right now I'm digging: Tame Impala - Elephant Aphex Twin - Actium
Listened to a playlist I made for a party I through a few years back and there was a lot of great stuff on it. Heard my pal Augus music for the first time in a while as a result. Here is a song of his: Augus was my first ever "pal" that I have only ever corresponded with via Internet and letters. We met on myspace after appreciating one another's music. Google translate has enabled our friendship to grow.
The Temples. They're a 60s style rock band. They remind me a lot of the Beatles.
Some great Jazz Fusion: The Alex Skolnick Trio - 99/09 A lovely piece of Acoustic Prog: Storm Corrosion - Storm Corrosion
I've been listening to a lot of videogame soundtracks. This is my favourite.
Loma Prieta - "Trilogy 4 - Momentary" San Fran screamo, very abrasive and harsh.
Just saw Pig Pen Theater Company at Music Hall of Williamsburgh. They put on a terrific show and had lots of energy. Still pretty undiscovered. There vibe is folksy. Highly recommend. You can play all their music here I would start with "The Way I'm Running"
