There is a reason people never believe me when I (honestly) tell them I'm not a stoner.

Good stuff Mike. I got 'em cued up on Spotify.

The show runner had bands do cover songs for the show because it was cheaper than licensing originals. That is how we ended up with the only ED Sheeran song I really liked.

I knew they had a multitude of great covers on the series, but I didn't know why Mike. Thank you.

This has some gems on it

The most recent Bandcamp purchases. Punk Rock from the UK, Canada, and Australia. Plus, some Post-Rock instrumentals from the US.

I'm adding a sewing room in our basement, so tunes are a must.
So I grabbed a bag of the fine Colombian, a box of Franzia Rosé, pack of Benson & Hedges Slims and listened to the Steely Dan catalog.

Sounds like my Mom back in the day, Matt, just subbing The Doors for Steely Dan.

Muddy Waters - Fathers and Sons

Iirc, bought my vinyl copy as a cutout for the ridiculous price of $1.99 or $2.99. Years later I found a used CD for $5.99 and snapped it up. The CD has 4 bonus tracks so total win for me.

A Pat Metheny night:

As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls
Offramp

In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, the stable of artists on the ECM record label got a lot of playing time in the record store. Metheny was my favorite.

I just discovered ECM Records in the last few years. Really digging in to their catalog is a bit daunting. There a few different styles and some of it really requires that you understand something about that style. Their catalog can require a lot of intellectual engagement. Which is weird to me because so much of it feels relaxed to the point of being unassuming.

It doesn't help that they probably have the tightest reigns on their streaming. It can be hard to find some of the stuff without relying on fan made videos. I think you can still get most of the catalog on CD and vinyl through their site though.

Yup, ECM had a pretty w-i-d-e range of artists. Some of them were a little too far out for me but until I left the retail record business in ‘82, i listened to every release that we had demos of.

I should dig into my boxes of jazz albums and see what I still have left. ‘Course it would also help if I had a turntable.
