Yeah it’s like 16/25 entries lol. 64% Radiohead. 
That’s fine, tho, it’s not like I don’t share Comaduster and HEALTH at every opportunity.

My favourite Massive Attack album, Mezzanine. Currently just finished “Black Milk”.
I swear, the song stretch of “Dissolved Girl”-“Man Next Door”-“Black Milk” might be my favourite part of the album.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your first concert! 
I remember my first concert… actually, there was so much stuff being smoked in the crowd that I don’t remember too much. But I remember Eddie Vedder, the mosh pit, the crowd singing along, drenched with sweat, and eating a whole extra-large pizza on my own afterwards at a restaurant. I think I had “the munchies”. 
Pearl Jam was awesome though.

Very nice! Live music is ace, very much recommend it.
I went to loads of small local gigs as a teenager, kids not much older than myself playing loudly in a small room. Regrettably, the first big concert I can remember being at as a child was at the WOMAD festival, where Rolf Harris performed… Not exactly a lifetime highlight that.
The last gig I went to might have been Ribbon Stage who are like a noisier version of Shop Assistants and basically all their songs are super short. Amazingly cool live act, very charismatic bunch.

My first concert was Violent Femmes. Unfortunately, some time in my twenties my hearing was damaged by an especially loud show in a small space. Now loud music sounds like static to me.

Cover of Katy Perry’s Hot N Cold by Los Colorados. Not the best ever, but it lives in my head from the moment I saw it.

I saw The Go! Team live for the first time the other day and that was a really fun show. Often mid song one of the guitar players would put down his instrument and sprint to a second drum kit and finish the song back there.
They had a trumpet, 2 recorders, 2 melodicas, a banjo. I was in the front and only recorded a few clips but found a video somebody else made that shows the vibe.

Oh very cool! I really enjoy their Thunder, Lightning, Strike album. Incredible energy.
Talking of multi-instrumentalists, I love this band Superorganism where they play the apple, the straw, the bucket of water, the shoes, the call bell, toy car, chimes etc. Turning medium-sized dry goods into music.
On the other end of the psycholyrical spectrum I’ve been digging into old Randy Newman albums lately. Obviously heard all the Toy Story stuff but only just learning about his deep south concept album, Good Old Boys.

Glad you enjoyed them. I remember trying The Go! Team’s albums, but they didn’t stick for me.
I posted this on an entirely different forum over a decade ago and got a resounding “meh” but this is still one of my favourite songs by any artist.

OK, I’m looking this one up on Bandcamp now.
The two-person band made me think of the observation I heard years ago that The White Stripes managed to create what is possibly the most well-known bass line ever despite not having a bass.

oh, Kaki King! I know her! I heard her first albums though. I don’t think I’ve gotten to this one yet.
Huh, didn’t know she sang too. I just thought she was a whiz acoustic guitarist, like Janet Nogueira or Michael Hedges.

I wish she had done more of it … I think Junior is her lyrically heaviest album, with about half of the tracks instrumental and half with words.
It’s my favourite album of hers and very underrated IMO. I usually have a hard time with instrumental and abstract stuff that’s suppose to unite in a theme, but this is a rare partially-instrumental concept album that I can click with.
I wish that she had made another album in this style. I’m not sure if she just prefers working strictly with guitar, whether the mixed reception to Junior turned her off of singing, or whether lyrics were a deliberate choice for Junior alone.
I’ll have to look up the other guitarists. Is “Janet Nogueira” spelled correctly? Google isn’t turning anything up.
