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

At work doing some of my boss's work because she decided to take the next couple weeks off and get covid. So I got this on one playing on one screen while the other screen is doing shit above my pay grade.
I saw those guys at a tiny bar in early 2001 was a very good show. I really like that first album and Howl, but haven't heard any of the stuff they have done lately.
 

Over the last year or so my musical tastes have definitely slowed down and firmly embedded into the doom/stoner/sludge area of things, but damn.. I usually don't pay much attention to deathcore, but I am so blown away by Lorna Shore right now. Musically they're combining the intense blast beats with the orchestral so incredibly well. Typically that just sounds cheesy to me, but somehow they do it perfectly. Those breakdowns? Oh. Yeah. And then there's Will Ramos' singing. Holy crap is he ever talented. The amount of control he has is ridiculous. Especially when watching a live concert, it just seems almost effortless to him.
Check out Purple Dawn and their song The Moon Song. They're frickin awesome. Stoner rock, dooly sorta stuff but... You'll see.

Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music, Part III. I'm determined to get all the way thru Part III.
Made it. Ugh!

I was listening to Tom Petty earlier while making dinner. His stuff always puts me in a good mood.
I love that record, it’s wonderful. Though it’s more an experience than a record.

One of my fondest memories of college is walking through the adjacent woods next to it between classes listening to that record on headphones, back in the minidisc days.
 
I keep finding myself compelled to post things here that I'm fairly certain nobody here is interested in. However, I'm actually listening to this on vinyl right now as I'm populating a cdxl so it counts.

Anyway, this whole record blew me away when it came out. Got to see them play at Reed College in 2005ish. Sadly not this piece but the chops on display were unreal. Piazzola supposedly wrote this suite for 2 guitars for them specifically.
