#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Snarky Puppy - Immigrance (2019). When I start playing SP it’s just too hard to stop. Also, half of their albums have an audience in the studio. This one does not. Had to look that up. #music #progressivejazz #jazz www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Snarky Puppy & Metropole Orkest - Sylva (2015). As far as I can tell, Snarky Puppy only records live but they are so tight you can’t tell until you hear the audience. Phenomenal #ProgressiveJazz #Jazz #music www.youtube.com/watch
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: The Breeders - Last Splash (30th Anniversary Edition)(2023). The Deal sisters and Co. are the real “deal” (pun intended) when it comes to lyrical neo-punk pop. This is simply a fantastic album. Go ahead… sing along :) www.youtube.com/watch
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Michael Penn - Mr. Hollywood Jr. (Double Disc Version)(2005). Featuring Penn’s unique spin on Americana rock and interspersed with fascinating short snippets of musical texture, this is a more introspective album than most of his releases. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Colin Hay - Transcendental Highway (1998). Saw Colin this morning talking to CNN whilst celebrating New Years in Tasmania (I think. Maybe NZ) and playing music for the crowds with his old band, Men at Work. Threw this on. Great album. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Alive (1988). While this is a live album, the band didn’t play in front of an audience. Nothing is mixed. It sounds like a studio recording it’s so tight. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Robbie Robertson - How To Become Clairvoyant (Deluxe)(2011). Eric Clapton. Steve Winwood. Tom Morello. Trent Reznor. Nothing short of an amazing album. Why are you still reading this? Go listen! #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Yes - 90125 (1983). This is the first album of Yes' third iteration and reinvention into a more commercially approachable act. The album spawned four singles, including the radio-friendly ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ and hit #5 on the US Billboard 200. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: The Phil Collins Big Band - A Hot Night in Paris (1999). God rest your marvelous soul, Phil. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Robbie Robertson - Storyville (1991). I guess today is Robbie Roberthursday. Fantastic album with a deeply soulful ‘Go Back to Your Woods’. #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Robbie Robertson - Eponymous (1987). Lead guitarist for Bob Dylan. Founding member and songwriter for The Band. Storied solo career. We sadly lost him last year at a young 80 years old. #music #nowplaying en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robb…
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Psychodots - Terminal Blvd. (2005). Rob is prolific. He was in The Bears with Adrian Belew, The Raisins, and has a strong solo career, and is a stellar guitarist. A deeply underrated talent. #music #nowplaying
I’m a full album listener and appreciate explorations of particular musicians across multiple phases of their career (e.g., Jason Falkner, Rob Fetters, Simon Phillips). I’m pleased to see someone finally ran a study on the so-called ‘Sophmore Slump’. #music entertainment.slashdot.org/story/24/…
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Vintage Trouble - The Bomb Shelter Sessions (2011). This bombastic 1950’s R&B, soul, funk inspired band from LA put on one helluva live show. They remind me a lot of the fictional band from the movie Animal House, Otis Day & The Knights. www.youtube.com/watch #music #nowplaying
Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Train - Train (1998). I’m sorry if you love Train, but this is really the only album of theirs I truly love. I’d describe it more like Southern fried AAA rock rather than the more pop-oriented albums that follow. Nice, modern twist pre-2k. #music #nowplaying
