Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

I knew Bjork was famous, but i never took the time to really listen to her albums.

I recently found the first solo album called "Debut" from 1993, and it's among my favorite discoveries from these past few years. Everything is brillant and so pleasing in this work. I know it's not exactly a fresh news, but this album is really impressive. It feels really good to listen to it.


I also like aphex twin very much. These days i often listen to this album, called "Chosen Lords", made under the AFX codename :


Finally, there are 3 songs that i can't stop myself from listening, called Dombolo, I Play The Kora, and Kuma Fo, from the album République Amazone (2017) by the band Les Amazones d'Afrique :


The lyrics are mainly about Women Rights, i guess we could say it's a feminist album.

This one was just a "oh, that song; it's there" kinda song when it came out for me (I was a teen), but it hit much harder towards the end of my twenties. Hell, this whole album did. This and Missing the War are probably the most moving (to me) tracks off this album, and kind of a preview of things to come with Reinhold Messner a few years later. That album got some scathing reviews for its content, but they were touching their 30s, and you get that introspective existential malaise that can overcome you if you let it. The whole of Whatever and Ever Amen was an album I got to rediscover at a different point in my life. Another decade after that rediscovery, and here we are. Good stuff.

 
Just discovered Matteo Mancuso tonight.


Then jamming funk with Cory Wong and a few other vids which led to this:



Guy can play it all, and all without a pick.



How have I missed him on My Radar? He's played with just about every established well-known jazz guitarist it would seem, amongst others.
 
I was just talking about Them Crooked Vultures today with a friend.

No idea how they came up with the name, but it joins the pantheon of horrible band names. "Them" :rolleyes:



As for picks... I'd like to be ambidextrous and play WELL with or without one.

I mean, c'mon! BOBBY VEGA!


There's a few other players that use picks that I like too.



Just another tool in the arse'n'all...
 
I used a pick on a gig at least once, maybe twice, as a lark. At least once was a beer-coaster. It's just easier to use fingers on an upright, the angles are all wrong for using a pick on the doghouse.

Now if I had a BASS BALALAIKA, that'd be when I'd use a pick. Hmm I should nonetheless order a bass-balalaika pick for my DB.
Those BBs are HOOJ and thus, I imagine, a PITA to transport more-so than a DB given the BBs triangular nature.
