This new Chick Corea Akoustic Band live album (from a 2018 recording) is fantastic. John Patitucci and Dave Weckl on bass and drums respectively. 3 incredible players.

Stumbled upon this group Otoboke Beaver somewhere on the Internet the other day and I'm enjoying them quite a bit. The songs start to sound a bit same-y after listening to entire albums, but they are very infectious and energetic punk rockin' kinda tunes that I think are great in small doses.

Otoboke Beaver are indeed fantastic. Very fun and infectious! I went down a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole list night on the Domi & JD Beck channel watching a bunch of their videos and shorts. Holy cow, Domi is a talented pianist.

Spinning some of favourite Sloan albums tonight. Love the lyrics in this one. “I usually notice all the little things, I was proud of it— She says it’s annoying.” Feels like the story of my life ”I missed the point.” Yup. Join the club. I love Sloan. I’m gonna be up all night listening to them.

Can’t say I know a thing about Billie Eilish but I stumbled upon this today and I think it’s pretty rad. Great performance.

My top shit according to Spotify this year:
-
I just discovered this dude Donny Benét today. It's a kinda goofy take on 80's pop and disco. Pretty incredible stuff. The bass line on "Mr Experience" I'm gonna take a deep dive into his albums on Spotify over the weekend.
-
Last week, Wayne Kramer… this week Mojo…
-
Donny Benét's song "Konichiwa" was apparently included on a playlist The Weeknd put out earlier this year showcasing the music that inspired the After Hours album

I've been listening to lots of jazz and fusion lately. Jaco, Casiopea, Brand X, Weather Report, Jean-Luc Ponty, etc. have all been heavy in the rotation of late. Also a solid amount of the classics and "jazz masters" mixed in for good measure (Monk, Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, etc., etc.)

The first bit was giving me some shoegaze / my bloody valentine kinda vibes (which is of course a good thing!) but then it swerved a bit (though also not in a bad way). Cool track. I will search for more I have been listening to quite a bit of DOMi and JD Beck this week. When you listen to the entire album it all starts to sound a bit same-y to me, but they are a couple of talented kids doing some cool stuff. Their collabs with Thundercat are great too. It goes under the radar a bit, but Thundercat's bass line in "Bowling" is awesome IMO
-
Gotta say, I’m still pretty blown away by that Billie Eilish track. The album version is alright too, but I especially like the rendition on SNL. I was feeling like kicking back with some T Rex tunes today though, so The Slider is what I’m listening to right now. I love this album And the title track is perhaps my fav T Rex song.
-
I love this arrangement of "My Shining Hour"
-
For a week now, it's been a whole lot of Echo and the Bunnymen in my rotation: But also some fusion jazz mixed in too:

Been spinning The Flaming Lips' latest album (American Head) this week. To my ears, a lot of their output since The Soft Bulletin (which is already 22 years old this spring! ) has sounded kinda same-y. More keys and synths, less guitar, more pop oriented song stylings and less rocking (with the exception of Embyonic). My ultimate Lips lineup was in the mid '90s. Transmissions from the Satellite Heart and Clouds Taste Metallic are two of my favourite albums ever. It took me years to come around to The Soft Bulletin and the other albums since then, but even then I don't really enjoy all the songs and I still like '90s guitar-rock Lips best... But there are some pretty good songs on American Head. Gotta give it a few more listens yet to really form a final opinion.

Enjoying me some Grand Funk lately. This is a fun bassline to jam along to:
-
Dusty Hill died He was a very solid and pretty underrated bassist
-
I’m in a very ‘90s guitar rock’ mood tonight. Listening to lots of Dino, Pavement, Flaming Lips, etc.
-
I've enjoying the heck out of these big band arrangements of Monk tunes lately, MONK'estra conducted/arranged by John Beasley.
-
"Multiply" by Donny Benet I fucking love this dude. What an incredible video Legit solid tune.
-
This is a really killer instrumental cover of "Reelin' in the Years". The interpretation of the vocals on baritone guitar is very nice. Nate Smith an incredible drummer. And Cory Wong just chugging away so steadily on his Strat is low-key great. He's got good time. Last but not least, Joe Dart, is taking a bit of a backseat on this track. Very tasteful playing on the bass.
-
His sons are all very talented too. Chris Brubeck on bass is fantastic:
