....Mrs. Vguy is praying it's just a phase (Although, she doesn't ask me to turn down Flight b741).
Probably their most accessible release.
These guys cover a lot of ground genre-wise.
Some Gizz stickers arrived in the mail today. "Don't worry honey! It's just a phase."
I've checked out Tame Impala Charlie. They are good. So are Dogs In A Pile. And no, they are not a GD cover band.

I always dig checking in and maybe getting some cool reference to some band big or small, known or not so know sometimes even better. You never know what might sound right at any time in your experience.
I love Dwight Yoakam and somehow notice the other day he had a new release today so I'm checking it out now. Also sad to say I never had Black Sabbath Dehumanizer, but friend sent a text the other the day with the song 'I' and knew I had to add to collection.
And finally on some movie digs recently ripped Repo Man from 1984 featuring an LA stock punk rock lineup for the soundtrack, and a plot probably too offensive for some squares...hehe. Just kidding. like Phil might say...We're playing this years music folks....Thanks Phil and The Goddamn Grateful Dead

To start let me say, I doubt everyone will dig the same things I do, but I dig that chillwave sound of Washed Out, Tame Impala has some awesome stuff, Skinshape, Dope Lemon and Khruangbin all have a real cool chill vibe that works for me. All except Khruangbin are pretty much the projects of single individuals, all pretty much hit the spot for me. Check out the video for Mind Mischief by Tame Impala, but you have to be 18, either because of the cartoon nudity or the lady teacher lighting up with a student in her car, ridiculous either way, but a cool video and that song just lights up my brain in a most pleasurable way.

The Flaming Lips have released a bundh of cool albums this century, and they do put on a cool show.

A ton of modern bands doing a current version of R&B, soul, funk, or cinematic soul like El Michels Affair (check out Sounding Out the City, good place to start), Budos Band (lots of horns there), Menahan Street Band, Les Imprimes, Bobby Oroza, Thee Marloes, Thee Heart Tones, The Sextones, Sharon Jones & the Daptones, Charles Bradley (check out his cool cover of Black Sabbath's Changes), Surprise Chef, Ghost Funk Orchestra and more.

Free Ride is a recent discovery, a little more metal than my usual tastes tend towards, but the track Space Nomad sucked me in and with an album title like Acido y Puto how could I resist picking it up? Metal, stoner, fuzzed out low end rock, works for me in the right mood. Vguy has beat the drum pretty hard for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and I will second his endorsement, a really varied catalogue with those guys and some pretty amusing videos. Not to mention that they release a ton of stuff for free - they pretty much explicitly invite you to make your own record company, release the stuff they put out for free and cut them in with whatever you think is cool.

I get the sense that there are not a lot of country fans on here, but for those that might dig it, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Red Clay Strays, and Colter Wall have all put out some cool stuff, think more like outlaw country not country-pop. Sturgill's Metamodern Sounds in Country Music is a total psychedelic classic, don't let the country category fool you. Check out Turtles All the Way Down and tell me that is not a psychedelic masterpiece. And once i saw the album cover for Tyler Childers' Country Squire album I had to get it, cool album, great cover art, and the gatefold picture is pretty cool too. Good stuff.

70s is my favorite decade for rock. Late 50s and the 60s for Jazz. Then there was that Acid Jazz period in the 90s that was interesting, though I wouldn't call it Jazz.

There are some good artists of recent years, but as Charlie said they are mostly small, independent label and not advertised, but they're out there, you just got to poke around.

Check out Satsang 'The Story of You' especially the tune 'I Am.'

Or Uncle Lucius 'And You Are Me' and his song 'Keep The Wolves Away.'

Bob Marley's kids all put out some good stuff. And in that genre I also like Nattali Rize and Blue King Brown. Check out the Nattali Rize song 'One People.'

You might be pleasantly surprised.

The reason that 70’s music stopped sucking is because 80’s music was so much worse.

Most of my favorite bands started in the 60’s or early 70’s.
Mid-70’s would be Rush and Van Halen (no Van Hagar).
The only modern band I listen to is Hard Working Americans. Awesome band, wish it could have lasted longer.

Speaking of Rush, for those vinyl fans, the Moving Pictures 40 5-LP Box is spectacular.

I’m still in pre-shipment mode.

RIP Pete Sinfield. An early and essential member of King Crimson. Some great early ‘70’s music.

As a youngster, born in 1975. It has been a common understanding to me and amongst my peers that the music during that decade & across all genres was fantastically far out. ALL the best bands jammed groovy tunes back in the 1970s.
The only thing, {in hindsight of course} that was sub~par compared to today's standards was the weed!
Cannabis cultivation has come a long way since the '70z, maybe music too? Though I find it a hard case to say now in this day & era that the music of the '70s was overall bad. Aside from some cheezy hyper contrived over produced studio stuff, like the Shawn Cassadys & Leif Erricsons record companies pooped out for easy money in the later decade. For the most part the music of the 1970s is 'Solid Gold' as they come, like the old television shows of the era. Soul Train, Don Kirshner's .......etc.
Like the song "The Music Never Stopped" .... the music NEVER sucked!

Greetings All,

Not sure if I am late to the game on this, but I thought it relevant. An excellent film with fantastic acting...."His Three Daughters", but probably most importantly for this group.........really neat Grateful Dead references.

Hope some of you can appreciate and enjoy.

Have a beautiful day.
