Right this second it is The Rolling Stones playing Ruby Tuesday.

nice! I've always had a weird love/hate relationship with the Stones. Not sure why. Love some of their work, hate some of it, absolutely no logic behind it.
GracefulEntropy@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 3y
Yeah...some of their work really speaks to me...early Stones & a smattering of later stuff

Right at this moment, LCD Soundsystem in Soho Radio. I mostly listen to radio stations that have live DJs but are commercial-free, like WPRB Princeton, KALX Berkeley, BBC Radio 6, WFMU, KFJC, NTS Radio 1 and 2. That's my playlist of radio stations I cycle through.
As for the one individual song I am listening to the most - and this one has been THE ONE for the full past year, it's become my favorite song ever - it has to be "Zum Wohl" by Cluster, from 1976.
The more I listen to Krautrock, the more it blinds me like staring at the sun. Utterly incredible. Post-punk before Punk had even happened yet, they transformed the world. Even early Hip-Hop artists like Afrika Bambaata fell under its' spell.
Anyway, here's another Krautrock gem:
"Time" - La Dusseldorf.

I'm listening to Ghosteen by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This album is like nothing I've ever heard before. One starts to hear shades of it on Push the Sky Away and it develops further on Skeleton Tree, and this record feels like the band finishing what they started on those two albums. Nick's lyrics are open and honest (and open to interpretation) and the influence of Warren Ellis can be heard all across this album. The title track is an absolute epic. Well worth a listen.

I like Tanya Tagaq's album Tongues. Anything else by her or the artists you mentioned above that you'd specifically recommend?

Not music persay but I have been listening to a lot of the "salute the sample" segments by ll cool j on YouTube. Its a pretty cool dive into the samples that drive hip-hop.

This actually sounds really cool. I may look into this later

Right now I’m checking out Bill Callahan’s YTILAER because of you @ren - but if anyone wants a recommendation, I’ve been completely obsessed with John Grant’s album Queen Of Denmark. Phenomenal stuff - check out the title track or Sigourney Weaver.

John Corabi - Unplugged
I watched the new "I Wanna Rock: The 80s Metal Dream" series this week and was again reminded that Corabi has always been interesting to me, but I've never given him a fair shake. Once this album is over, I'll listen to the album he did with The Scream and then wrap it up with the Crüe album he did.
Decent series though. I think that keeping it's scope focused on just like 5 or so people was both a strength and weakness. But certainly other ways to hear other voices and perspectives if you want it.
So alternative. 🤣

As far as alternative music goes, I finally got around to listening to the first 5 Pearl Jam albums. I thought the first 3 were mostly pretty good.
Otherwise, in addition to the usual metal stuff I’m listening to, I’ve been listening to a lot of yacht rock and 80’s/90’s funk/r&b/new Jack swing
mPony@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
The first 3 are, indeed, mostly good.

Jain, South African artist I think. I’m assuming her big hit was Makeba, but another one from that same album, Come, is also pretty good. Pretty solid all around.

I've been going through Animal Collective's discography lately.
They're so hard to get into, but I'm finding beauty in the noise. It's like they write music as impressionist artists. It can be recognized as a music, but it's distorted and smeared.

Currently - Alex Lahey, Young Fathers, going through Cocteau Twins discography (mostly listened to HOLV and Treasure before that)

If I may recommend - I'm a HUGE fan of old school R&B and soul, but once Sharon Jones hit the scene over the past 15-20 years, what I call "revival soul" has been so so so amazing! So many modern bands going back to the old sound! I have a spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5o3TgsTajPiYH1JUqLuAm6?si=1c45e206d663444c
But, if you aren't on spotify, try a pandora station built off Sharon Jones, Curtis Harding, Lady Wray, Lee Fields, The Tesky Brothers, Durand Jones, - ugh! so much good music!!!
constantorbit@hachyderm.io · 2 pts · 3y
@ren okay, this playlist is SO GOOD. So effing good!
And now I have a bunch of bands to delve more deeply into.
Nice work! #music #nowlistening #soul #revivalSoul
ren@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
that's awesome and makes me so happy!!! While it's not Sharon Jones specifically, but I really am thankful for what she & the Dap-Kings and Daptone Records did to music over the past 20 years.

@ren I was going to ask for recs but here you are way ahead of me! 🙌🏻

@ren When they were on tour just before her death they played Santa Cruz CA, where I was living at the time, and I REALLY wanted to go to the show (even though I really didn't know anything about them at the time) but couldn't due to personal commitments.
I SO wish I'd been able to go to that show. -sigh-

I feel so lucky to have seen her 3 different times. Once before she hit, once after, and once more in NYC post-cancer recovery. Just amazing.
The first time we saw her we went down to Jacksonville and saw her in a dive bar on Super Bowl Sunday. Just 10 of us in the whole crowd dancing to get putting it all on on this tiny stage.
Amazing and unforgettable.
