Bit of everything

Listen to a lot of Jazz/Crooners/Easy listening when at home

When I'm at work it's either alternative rock (killers, loads of early 2000s rock - strokes, hives kings of leon etc.), surf&skate punk (flipping good shit; FIDLAR, Wavves, DuneRats, Bass Drum of Death)

When I'm driving (and the Mrs isn't around) I crank up some heartland rock - mainly Bruce Springsteen, but also Barnesy, Cold Chisel etc.

Depends a lot on my mood, where I am, whether I need motivation, relaxation, an outlet or something to get down and dirty to

Yuzo Iwata - Daylight Moon

Took over a year to get this record after ordering on Bandcamp - mostly to do with how major labels have gotten onto the vinyl bandwagon now and clogged up the pressing plant queues - re-issuing box sets and deluxe repackaging of the same old crap you can still find for $5 in 2nd hand bins, - f**king it up for the independent labels with interminable waiting times even though it was the indie labels who supported vinyl all along.

Nicely done, new compilation of mostly obscure Gospel music from the early 1970's with a heavy leaning to the funky side of the genre.

for about 3 or 4 months, the only artist I listened to on Spotify was Sade.
I still love her & think she could be a major reason I married a 1/2 African girl.

Donovan Quinn - Absalom. Came out in Dec 2019, but been playing this more than other things in 2020.

Donovan Quinn's best record I think. Much like the band he's in - Skygreen Leopards, his and their earlier stuff are interesting, but the songs often seemed like unfinished minimalist folky excursions extracting the most out of one simple idea. However, on "Absalom", as with the last Skygreen Leopards LP "Family Crimes", everything steps up and there's a lot of craft put into the lyrics and arrangements to make them hummable and memorable.

The Teskey brothers anyone ..... ??

Had my mind blown when I found out its a couple of young anglo saxon melbournians

Saw them at the Palais at the end of last year and they blew my mind too. Otis redding and a stax records kinda vibe, minus the horn sections that those bands usually had going on.

Nice stuff.
Bit of blood, bit of gore, long hair, beards, spaceships, isolation and thwarted romance.
Has it all really.
Very nice graphics in that clip, did you do them too?

Thanks BPG,

I can write and play music, but struggle to even point a camera. I wrote the "screenplay" for the animators and then they did their magic.

If any of you think "that aint bad", please share the video link. Ultimately, it's one song in a concept album half written, after all, why is he there with a flesh rending love interest, what happens next etc. So a few shared links here and there, a spin or two on spotify, it all helps to fund the rest of it.

Btw, you're hearing the guitar legend that is Dave Leslie (Baby Animals) in my clip. So a shout to his current projects https://m.facebook.com/truckbandmelbourne And https://m.facebook.com/theblackskeleton
