What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

To quote Rolling Stone “…uniformly eccentric and uncompromising, savage and beautiful, literate and guttural.” Across a dozen albums Allen has produced wonderful music that could only be made in America. Attached to this one because it’s the first of his I bought but all his albums are terrific imo. Too lazy to dig the vinyl out so Qobuz.

Their eponymous debut of fine contemporary bay area psychedelic rock, so well described on here back in the day by @BruceW

I don’t really care for Lindsay banging on cardboard boxes. I have stripped out his homemade production songs which makes for a better listen.

That must be a re-make. I have the EMI LP that A-SM made as a teenager with her original mentor, Herbert von Karajan (conducting the Vienna Philharmonic).

(Apologies to Quick Sticks, who has mentioned this above!)

Just been listening to the very avant-garde magnetic “music” of the MRI scanner! :grinning: Great rhythms but not much in the way of melody.
