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

Listening to the Slower album this morning.


It's doom metal Slayer covers by a supergroup consisting of members of Fu Manchu, Monolord, Year of the Cobra, Kylesa, Lowrider and Kyuss. I've been meaning to listen to this since it came out but never got around to it until today. Unbelievably heavy shit
 
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.
I legitimately loved Reinhold Messner when it came out and still think it’s a good listen. But I was a teenager at the time and didn’t read reviews! Either way, I’ve always thought playing in BFF must’ve been a lot of fun.
 
Burn Down The Malls, Mojo, wherever you may now be, burnthemalldowntohell and then have a beer with Elvis ...


He never moved enough units, in my opinion, many more units should've shifted, more recognition...

I went through a big Mojo Nixon phase in college and I don't think I knew anyone who could stand him. I think that may have been one of the things that drew me to him in the first place, though, and I'm pretty sure that was at least part of what he was trying to do 😂

 
I became aware of Fuensanta seeing her doing silly dances with Louis Cole in this video.

So i looked into her and she has quite a voice and an writes some interesting tunes. I wasn't expecting Louis Cole to appear on her gig so that's fun too. Dude's got range.

 
When I rode my motorcycle from Toronto to Vancouver over the course of ten days, I listened to the One Day as a Lion EP every morning.
And if you have a Rhodes, run it into some fuzz!
That Khruangbin song made me think International.
