They got Antwaun to finally wear the hat!
No way you can say he's just a "featured artist" and not part of the pack now!
(He's been part of the pack for a while now, but even then he's still kind of stood apart. But not in this video.)
Such a beautiful tune too.

This band is new to me but had an interesting build and the longest I recall for the lyrics to start. So much so I was surprised when they did.

I've been listening to the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast recently. Season 2 goes deep into the lives of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Fascinating people. Fascinating, terrible people who could really crank out some great songs. This one's kinda a deep cut but I really like it, especially the way they harmonize on the refrain:

This one's one of their big hits. I like the storytelling in it.

Also, while looking up their songs on youtube I discover there's a new biopic series with Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon? Looks good.

I listened to a lot of albums to pick a #1 for this year, and Nilufer Yanya's Painless came out on top.
She has a kind of trippy drone style with muted cool beats that hits harder than it sounds like it should.
Hot track from the album coming through.

They're maybe too good for this world.

I recall RBJ once saying the best songs came out of the 80's and thinking "no they damn well don't". They come out of the 70's. I wish I had argued with him at the time but I let it slide. Hotel California will always be a favorite. There was a magic to my teen years that I wonder if everyone has. But everyone didn't have those songs. I hear so much now and think "how did we get here from where we came?" No heart. No soul. I can't tell one from another with the warbling songs so similar. They aren't posted here thank God. Songs used to mean something. Maybe I'm just longing for times past. Or maybe there was magic. All I know is looking down from Griffith Observatory I could feel myself in this song and goddamn it feels good to have long hair again-

Or if you want something new here is a good Cam Cole- [video=youtube_share;5wzgxcEhxoM]https://youtu.be/5wzgxcEhxoM[/video]

I was sorting through some old stuff, and came across a magazine from 1993, Music Technology, with an interview with Aphex Twin. When he had done some very interesting things, but had not yet become properly amazing. The above track was made four years later, but it was the first that sprung to mind when reading the article. Holy shit, it's been 30 years. Where's the next interesting thing in music? I know I'm old and over the hill, but I can't remember anything interesting happening for over 25 years, it's just become more bland and samey to my old whiny grumpy ears. Is there a new Big Thing I'm not aware of? Would I even bother, or just dismiss it on the very basis of me being old and grumpy and have heard everything but done better before? Ugh, bleh, just like the old people of my day, that I swore to never become. Until I did. And it will happen to YOU!

Twenty One Pilots is a Big Thing that I quite like. Their album Blurryface was the first album ever to have every single song on it certified gold by the RIAA, and their album Vessel was the second ever.
