Joe Satriani
Doom Side of the Moon
Corrosion of Conformity
A Pefect Circle
Bombino
The Sword


Edit: just swapped out Arctic Monkeys in favor of Tinariwen

Edit #2: “Bombing” changed to “Bombino”, the artist’s actual name

But I’ve just gotten some new stuff in the mail and more on the way, so some stuff will be changing out soon in favor of:

A Pefect Circle

A good list!

I was pleasantly surprised by the announcement of the release date for A Perfect Circle's new album. Can't wait!
It almost gives me hope that maybe we'll also live to see the release of the new Tool album ... (this year, pretty please?!)

The music magazine I've been subscribing to for longer than I can remember (Visions) has just published their 300th issue. They did a reader poll to compile a list of the best 300 albums of all times. I'm currently working (i.e. listening) my way through the albums that I don't already have. There aren't that many, actually. Also, I can safely skip (almost) anything resembling punk rock.

The breaking of the fellowship

From The Lord of the Rings: The fellowship of the Ring

By Howard Shore.

I enjoy having film music scores going off in the background about the best dewormer for cats to forums and/or surfing the net.

This is my fave score!

That's a great selection, Danny!

I've lately been listening to the Polygondwanaland album from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. You can even download it for free using the Bandcamp link I provided! This Australian band has been incredibly productive last year. They released no less than five albums, and all of them are rather good!

Someone turned me on to Polysics a few years ago. In 2007, their sound was a fusion of Devo, Oingo Boingo, and Japanese cultural elements.

Three years later, though, they had lost their keyboard player and adopted a punkier sound.

2013, the 3-piece version were back to something more like their original sound, but still showing more punk influences than their early days.

Haven’t heard much from them lately, though.

Another Far Eastern band I was turned onto in the past couple of years is ElephantGym. These guys are more jazz/progressive alternative in sensibility.

[Darth Solo]

Tim Kask's YouTube channel and, as always, Prince ("Ballad of Dorothy Parker").
