Day 26. Laconic - (adj.) using very few words

Ratatat - Ratatat

Ratatat’s self-titled debut album is quite laconic. Outside of the opening clip that kicks off the record they mostly let their guitars to the talking.

24. Panjandrum - (n.) a person who has or claims to have a great deal of authority or influence

John Coltrane - Giant Steps


A man who has a harmonic progression variation named after him should definitely be considered a panjandrum!

Tobechukwu Dubem Nwigwe and his family are a well-oiled autarky, prolifically producing new music and video content on a regular basis.

Mad Season - Live At The Moore

 

[wmeugene]

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy


Throughout his career, Zevon did all kind of work, not just that of a very talented songwriter.

27. Sibylline - (adj.) prophetic and mysterious

Piggybacking on @Yer Ol' Uncle D two days in a row, but at least a different version. Had this one queued up for today since I'm seeing Dead & Co. tonight and odds are good that they'll bust this out.

California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine

Grateful Dead ~ Terrapin Station

Day 27. Sibylline - (adj.) prophetic and mysterious

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

Your typical Wizard could be described as prophetic and mysterious so I would assume that an Electric Wizard who smokes a shit ton of weed would be supremely sibylline type of Wizard

 

[ranbalam]

27. Sibylline - (adj.) prophetic and mysterious

24 Carat Black - Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth

The themes here are still applicable today. And the sadness, soul, and mystery of this record amazes me every time I spin it.

Com Truise - Persuasion System

On top of being instrumental, there's a track titled "Laconism."

[avecigrec]

28. Rapprochement - (n.) an establishment or resumption of harmonious relations

Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood & Jason Isbell - Live at the Shoals Theatre


Isbell's departure from DBT seven years earlier wasn't exactly on the best of terms, so hearing these three have such a blast playing a show together years later is certainly a happy rapprochement!
