Really enjoying Hovvdy’s “True Love”. I’m a sucker for that late 90s/early 00s, breathy vocal indie pop vibe. Wears those Elliott Smith, Iron & Wine, and quieter Wrens influences proudly.
I thought the Demos albums were going to be packaged with their respective PJ Harvey reissues. Foolish me. Too much money to be made releasing them as stand alone albums. Completing the collection on vinyl is going to take a while.
Two wildly different covers of Metallica's 'Sad But True' out there today...an industrial sounding one from St. Vincent, and a slide heavy rave-up from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.
Finally picked up the June issue of Uncut magazine featuring Dylan on the cover. The Dylan covers CD is really good. Worth the import price just for Weyes Blood’s epic cover of “Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands”.
Life's been rather messy in recent weeks, and I hate to say it, but I dropped the ball on posting a link to the Sarah Jarosz Austin City Limits taping livestream that took place this evening. I only caught the last few songs, but she and her band sounded amazing. Watch for that episode when it airs later this year on PBS.
I’ve been put in charge of putting together the music playlist that will run after my dad’s service in a few weeks. This is where crafting all of those homemade tape & CD comps over the years pays off.
I know we had one on the old board (in fact, I may have started it), but, do we have a "Walk-Up Song" thread here at N&G? I didn't see one with my searching efforts, but I really thought someone had started one already.
