Doing 3 because I’m eclectic. They are different enough that I feel justified.
Tool - Fear Inoculum
Run the Jewels 2 (3 is incredible also)
Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
I can listen (have listened recently and frequently) to all three repeatedly.
I’ve heard of a couple of these. I’ll check them out!
Big Wave by Tatsuro Yamashita
The Tragically Hip - Live Between Us
“Enn” by Eivør, simply amazing! Was on a concert a few weeks back, totalt 600 people and it was a blast!
Have a listen: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mfYUyMRk-zYA1V1Z04a7GGB106N2JT5vU&si=m-R3MtJD1CuUTmVV
My wife saw her last week with a band called Heilung. That looked pretty out the gates
What a night! How were Heilung live if I may ask? I’ve been thinking of going to their show here in February.
Dude she showed some videos and it looked unreal. Full disclosure, we are both not into this type of music. Despite that, she said it was probably one of the best concerts she’d ever seen.
We live in New Zealand, and the group had joined forces with a local group of Maori performers who blended in their own cultural practices. It seems like they went above and beyond to tailor their performance to the local setting and honouring native practices here.
I’m really sad I didn’t join, but occasionally you have to give the wife a girls night out.
What an awesome show that must have been! Maybe I have to really go then!
Cursive - Devourer (sic?)
The Loop by Volkor x (available on Bandcamp)
Also on YouTube: Volkor X - The Loop [FULL ALBUM] (2023)
Unleash the archers album “Demons of the AstroWaste”
One of the few albums I can groove to cover to cover.
I love Demons. Seems like most people are moving on to their more recent melodic power sound, but Demons had such a perfect mix of melodic and thrashy. Plus, Daughters of Winterstone might be my favorite song of theirs.
Upbeat: Kraftwerk - tour de france
Downtempo - a.s.o. - a.s.o.
Sprints - Letter to Self
$uicideboy$ - G.R.E.Y.G.O.D.S.
Sincere by Khalid
Treat yourself to Fontaines DC’s new album “Romance”!

I played this in my house when it came out because I liked Skinty Fia; my kid immediately said “play that again please, the whole album”. I love it!
gybe - lysf
Justice - Hyperdrama
It’s not my favorite album, but I have been listening to Marcy Playground by Marcy Playground a lot recently. It was one of my first favorite albums and still is.
