In terms of full albums, still enthralled by Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes.
Here's some of the tracks I've been listening to recently that are new to me.
Riverfront - Leo Nocentelli
Them Shoes - Patrick Sweaney
I'm Broke - Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears
The Future - Nathaniel Ratecliff & The Night Sweats
All the Money - Bobby Charles
You Rascal You - Hanni El Khatib
You done tore your playhouse down again - King Biscuit Boy
Broke down on the Brazos - Gov't Mule
Nellie - Dr Dog
Rose Pink Cadillac - DOPE LEMON
Mushroom Cloud - Tempesst
Elemental Chemistry - Triptides
What a dream I had - Cool Ghouls
Funkier than a mosquito's tweeter - Nina Simone
Bear - The Frogs
Bury me Deep - Andre Williams
Buzzing in the light - Dr Dog
Hey you - DOPE LEMON
Some of the above I heard through the spotify weekly podcast 'Blues Kitchen Radio'
Fernando Sor, Bach, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah, Slade, Snarky Puppy.
Gorguts - Obscura.
Babymetal and The Rezillos.
Think it was @jimjam who switched me onto Elder via some thread here years ago.
This just popped up in my feed:
Really like what I’ve heard so far, and it seems a good fit for a collaboration.
Very much in the vein (derivative?) of Motorpsycho’s ‘Death Defying Unicorn’ collaboration with Ståle Storløkken & Trondheim Jazz Orchestra which is no bad thing.
Proving again that I’ll be a sucker for some wholesome heavy prog from time to time.
Also this (hilarious and awesome at once):
Also Converge have just relesed a new album with Chelsea Wolfe which is wonderfully doomy
I haven’t checked this thread out for a week or so, so I missed the above, but by a strange and spooky coincidence, my mate mentioned he’d just got it while we were in the pub last night, so I downloaded it and listened to some of it when I got home, plus I downloaded some of Chelsea Wolfe’s stuff because her voice interests me, and I also downloaded and listened to some Sibelius and listened to ‘Finlandia/Karelia Suite’.
All a bit of a contrast.
If anyone's into Hippety Hoppety music, check out Lloyd Luther. Spits some quite spectacular bars, innit fam.
Ceephax Acid Crew
The Knife
Lamb
The new Rival Consoles album Overflow which is not quite what I was expecting.
Dungen - ‘Ta det lugntk’
I've been feeling nostalgic and for some reason this old near-forgotten favourite from 2004 reappeared in my loaf today. Punched it into Tidal and now enjoying in beautiful gnarly hi-fi for the first time and it feels like time-travel. So many great tunes on this one album! Such an embarrassment of musical talent, and the songs cover a wide range of moods and tempos yet somehow it all hangs together just perfectly.

Idles just dropped this dark sparkler

Funny how you can tell exactly what some bands sound like without even listening to them 😀 Maybe thats a good thing for fans of the genre?!
I just got Lonely Guest on vinyl. It's a lovely thing https://falseidols.bandcamp.com/album/lonely-guest
Joe off of Idles is the guest on this one
Mostly David Pajo at the moment.
Probably a bit wild for most folk, but i have had Brand Of Sacrifice's latest album on quite regularly. Its Deathcore, so an acquired taste, but it just makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Its hard to describe, but it just makes me want to move, jump around and get pumped for life!
Morgan Wade - Reckless
Danko Jones - Power Trio
JJ Wilde - Wilde (EP), Born to Die (EP), Ruthless (LP)
Beartooth - Below
A fabulous recent discovery for me is Joan as Policewoman - not sure how I missed her but I also think she is vastly underated anyway.
I discovered her when she played at the Tony Allen retrospective recently at Royal Festival Hall, which was organised by Damon Albarn and was the singularly most barnstorming, wonderful gig I've ever been at.
On that point, I've also recently been really enjoying Fela Kuti and the whole Afrobeats scene.
Other top picks are Iron & Wine, Laura Marling, Emiliana Torrini, Agnes Obel, Jesca Hoop, Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Manu Katche.
However a few albums really stand out as exemplary:
Wax Tailor - The Shadow of their Suns is an absolute banger! Utterly brilliant and orignal in the mould of Avalanches meets Tricky's Maxinquae.
Chloe - Endless Revisions is a superb blend of electronic, dance and techno wrapped up in a very cool downbeats package.
Beirut - The Flying Cup Club - so original it's hard to classify but I guess it sits in that very cool current fusion of folk, indie/rock, alternative folk genre.
Mostly David Pajo at the moment.
Good call. NP: Aerial M - as performed by.
Funny how you can tell exactly what some bands sound like without even listening to them 😀
I dunno, "gore" would normally be associated with more reckless playing, not necessarily something as technical or given to sudden string quartets as GG.
Murder Capital
Snapped Ankles
Idles
Yard Act
Viagra Boys - will be going to see them in Glasgow this Friday unless it gets pulled or if any further restrictions imposed.
Some things I’ve downloaded just recently after hearing them on 6Music are Japanese Breakfast, something new from Cat Power, a new Christmas themed EP from St Etienne, and the first tracks released from Big Thief’s new album, which I’m looking forward to listening to, as they’re playing Bristol next year - I first saw them at Green Man, then soon after heard them on 6Music, and they’re now getting a lot of attention.
Something else I came across is an album by Jakko M Jakszyk, Robert Fripp & Mel Collins, ‘A Scarcity of Miracles’, two original members of King Crimson and their current guitarist/singer. Lovely album, somewhat jazzy, very easy to listen late at night.
Amyl and the Sniffers
Aus Punk band. Frickin' awesome.
Been giving the music of Protomartyr a bit of a hammering
Been listening to a lot of Gabba recently. Gabba and Genesis... no idea why.
Watched jules Holland on breakfast TV this morning and instantly went to his new album Pianola it was excellent, well worth a listen.
Lots of 80's electronica and also buying a fair bit of Plump DJ's on vinyl. Supposed to be djing a new years eve house party but looking increasingly unlikely 😷
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine....
That and 4 organs... 🤷🏼♀️
Having a bit of a flashback and listening to a lot of Placebo ATM. Not entirely of their time and properly underrated I think (especially in terms of lyrical concerns).
HUGE earworm with this right now.
I'm enjoying the free Lucky Me tracks this year. Especially the Hira and Jacques Greene ones.

more to come, if you like wonky electronicky housey nonsense(y) 🙂
Most of my quality listening time these days is on the turbo trainer, so my tastes are adjusting accordingly, really enjoying Takkyu ishino's mixes on YouTube.
Am looking forward to giving this one a run out soon, suspect I'll be getting carried away and falling off rollers at approx 44 minutes in.
Dave Grohl put out a playlist for some reason. Listening to that, good mix of stuff.
Other than the random tracks I had playing earlier today, I’ve been listening to mostly Cara Dillon, having seen her play very recently. Not sure at the moment what I might listen to in a bit after I finish watching QI.
Panic listening to Coldplay for the next 3 years.
Dave Grohl put out a playlist
Is there anything he can't do?
np: Killing Joke - 2003.
Spotify threw this out this morning. Some old school jungle vibes which makes me wish I was 20 years younger and clubs were still cool.
Panic listening to Coldplay for the next 3 years.
🤣👏🏻
I suspect I'm late to the game here but I've just discovered Sam Fender. He really is fantastic, assuming you like Springsteen, Arcade Fire, The War on Drugs etc. Can actually perform live too and his band are superb.
Not really one for youthful music ... but definitely loving Amyl and the Sniffers.
Comfort To Me is an absolute monster from start to finish. I heard Hertz and then got stuck in.
but definitely loving Amyl and the Sniffers
Absolutely! One to look out for live, I think.
This has been on heavy repeat over Christmas
Larkin Poe , especially their acoustic stuff
Linda Perry / 4 Non Blondes
I’ve gone from Liars ‘The Apple Drop’ to…… Theatre of Hate ‘Westworld’. Giving the turntable a bit of a run.
Still enjoying Larkin Poe - especially some of their acoustic covers .
Had a Scorpions revisit today, listened to some of their stuff from 40 years ago 🤘
