What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

Mrs Fin has a great playlist with Apple Music that has Sunday Driver and many other really funny ones. I need to find out what the Album is so I can buy it… Qobuz doesn’t have as many of their albums as Apple does. Quality act!!

An immersive album. Can’t remember ever buying a heavy metal album (do Budgie count?). Earth I think were originally badged as ‘drone’ metal. Whatever, this one’s a slow moving, almost stately infact, album of melodic guitar music which gives the system (and neighbours) a really good work out. Long time since I played it. Might need to dig out Sunn O))) [mentioned by Taake yesterday] next. Uniti Core. Play loud.

Took me awhile to adjust to the ‘new’ Earth style having loved Dylan’s mob when they more, er… drone und drang ( Earth2, Pentastar, Thrones & Dominions ) but I came around. Good stuff.

Sunn are always worth a listen, natch.
And try Boris.
