Lee Dorsey is a good shout. Might have to make a playlist consisting of mainly him and Rufus Thomas
Inez and Charlie Foxx
Rimsky Korsakov
Seeed
I've ended up down some wormhole of music. I've been listening to Japanese Folk Metal, Nekgrogoblikon, and Rainbowdragoneyes....
As per @wordnumb, the new GY!BE album is fantasic, and I'm really enjoying the new John Grant single 'Boy From Michigan' too (which is being played to death on 6Music at the moment).
Other notable mentions in regular rotation are:
clipping. - Splendor and Misery
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Today I listened to:
Holly Herndon - Proto
Sunn O))) - Pyroclasts
and the new St Vincent album, but I didn't like it.
Crack Cloud
Paul Weller’s new record, Fat Pop
Royal Blood’s new one
Foo Fighters new one
Steely Dan’s, Greatest Hits
Vaya Con Dios, Time Flies
Descendants 3, soundtrack - kids can’t have Daddy’s influences all the time.
One recent song I keep going back to is by Self Esteem - ‘I Do This All The Time’, which I just love to bits! It’s got the Baz Luhrmann thing going on, with the wonderful world-weary delivery.
I rather like the Paul McCartney single that’s out at the moment as well, with Phoebe Bridgers singing, but Phoebe can do no wrong in my book anyway.
And this
Sons of Kemet - Black to the Future has been on repeat quite a bit since the weekend. Been waiting for it for so long, not disappointed.
Stone Giants (Amon Tobin) - West Coast Love Stories, just a single but album due in July.
Floating Points/Pharoah Sanders/LSO - Promises, best thing since the Gabriels EP.
Show Me the Body
The Dreadnoughts
Burning Flag
Tuba Skinny
Manchester Orchestra – “Million masks of god”. It’s got a lot to live up to though, compared to “Last black mile to the surface”
I often find MO are growers. MMoG did prompt me to listen to 'Like a virgin ...' over the weekend too, I have new speakers and needed to hear it through them.
I often drify back into You+Me accidentally and realise I still love it, take some Dallas Green, add some P!nk, shouldn't work, is amazing.
Also, never tire of some things like Of Monsters and men, Ben Howard, Phoebe Bridgers (especially the duet with Nanthaniel Ratcliffe), but then also Bronx, Everytimeidie and as ever a smattering on Thrice and Alexisonfire.
I tend to lean towards classical guitar music.
Bob James
Loose Ends
Herbie Hancock
Chic
Patrice Rushen
Ronnie Laws
Cloud One
Isley Brothers
Earth Wind & Fire
Pieces of a Dream
Hiroshima
Aquarian Dream
Cheers @kelvin Hadn't actually heard La Dusseldorf before so saved it for listening later
My main new stuff from this year has been;
Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg
Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark
I should ask this more often it routes me to stuff i would never find
Clad someone else likes that Arab Strap album…
Album of the year so far for me.
@gordimhor … and to loop up with someone else’s recommendation in another thread… if you’re liking the Harmonia/Neu stuff, check out Trans Am and Phil Manley’s solo stuff (Life Coach).
mmmm.... Trans Am were great. np: Tesco vs Sainsburys.
My video/yutoob habits are different.
Mostly bulerías:

Home was my favourite album of last year. Easy. I think I listened to pretty much nothing but that the whole of July.
the teasers for Music for Film and Theatre make 18 June a loooong way off. I like visuals too.
Nice to see the harder to get cd stuff on Apple Music (like the Portico stuff). I need to get it lined up and listened to properly...
New vinyl turned up in the last couple of weeks mixed in with my usual iTunes randoms ...
• Dexys Midnight Runners: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
• Amy Winehouse at the BBC
• Soul to Soul: Club Classics Vol. One
• Paul Weller: Fat Pop
• Paul Weller: Midsommer Musik
Looking back through the list of what was played on my phone today were tracks by:

The Velvet Underground
Ana Brun
Linda Ronstadt
Biffy Clyro
Hayley Bonar
Rush
Mogwai
Kathryn Tickell & Peter Tickell
Carly Simon
Moby
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
Kate Miller-Heidke

The Bangles…
And that’s why I prefer to play on shuffle, I never know what’s going to surprise me, it’s just like my own radio station with no added waffle, and that lot barely got me into the morning.
Today I have mostly listened to
Radiohead - Pyramid Song ep
Rocks Foe - RELX pt1
Maru - Blindfold
21 Savage – Spiral From The Book Of Saw Soundtrack
Found Nekrogoblikon earlier in the year. Still love it. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. Quite silly, but super catchy, and good on proper speakers.
There is a prog rock opera thing going on in there too. something to do with Immortal Goblins from space on a quest to find a way to die.
Uh-huh
For the metal/rock inclined:
Boss Keyloid - progressive heavy rock
Crowbar - Miserable riffed fulled NOLA metal
Gojira - new album, still not back to the heyday, but some good tracks

Got introduced to Red Fang the other week and they have rapidly become a staple of the pre-meeting playlist. "Arrows" and "Prehistoric Dog" are great for getting fired up.
I've also been listening to Spiritual Beggars and Kamchatka in advance of Per Wiborg's new EP release.
Sun's out today so it's time for SKA!
But more often recently it's been grim weatherwise so:
Mountain Caller: Chronicle 1: the Truthseeker
Slomosa: S/T
Elder: Gold and Silver Sessions
Body Count - Manslaughter.
Can't go wrong with the Interrupters! Last gig I saw before lockdown 🙂

Used to love Spiritual Beggars, but haven't listened to them for years now. Have you heard of Grand Magus? They turned into Powermetal-by-numbers, but their first two albums, self titled and Monuments were great. You might like it.
@p7eaven I can't stop listening to Crack Cloud after seeing your post! So good!
Completely different, but I'll chuck this gem in for today...
Always spinning loads - current mindblowers
Haino/O'Rourke/Ambarchi: Each side has a depth of 5 seconds A polka dot pattern in horizontal array A flickering that moves vertically
Jeffrey Alexander: Reyes
Rose Bolton: The Lost Clock
Owen Gardner: Sammusik
Endless Boogie: Life at WFMU
This week I have been listening to Dirty honey
The thrillseekers YouTube channel, any drum and bass and just spotify recommended. Oh and Louis Theroux’ podcasts
Getting in touch with my feminine side whilst decorating the hall and Le Tigre (not sure why I missed them the first time around)
