#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live (2021). What is there to say but that we’ve gotten precious few live Dan albums (precisely two) and it is, unquestionably, the superior. www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dream Theater - Parasomnia (2025). DT’s latest album and my very first listen. There’s some Mindcrime vibe in the opening measures, then it dives into a medley. Strong concept album energy. 20 min. closing track, too. #music #progmetal #prog youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Michael Penn - Palms & Runes, Tarot & Tea (2007). I don’t typically listen to compilations preferring the OG albums, but this one is special, and so is Michael. MAKE MORE ALBUMS, MICHAEL!!! #music #pop #rock www.youtube.com/watch

I didn’t bother watching Superb Owl LIX, but I should have. Kendrick killed the #halftime show, and watching it on YouTube I see he spoke loud if you were willing to listen and see with open ears and eyes. #music #superbowl #resistfascism #resisthate www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Michael Landau Group - Organic Instrumentals (2012). Landau is one of those legendary session guitarists you’ve never heard of. Check Wikipedia. This album is a quiet bomb and is amazing. A must listen. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Oslender, Steve Gadd & Will Lee - All That Matters (Bonus Edition)(2025). Featuring Bruno Müller, Jakob Manz & Nils Landgren. At near 80 years old, Steve Gadd is still a titan on the drums. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: King’s X - Faith Hope Love (1990). I had this album on repeat for some time. Doug, Jerry, and Ty are true musician’s musicians, have been cited as the originators of grunge by Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, and rock. #music #progrock #altrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jazz Pistols - Special Treatment (2001). This underrated German #JazzFusion trio that plays what they call “Energy Jazz” is a showcase of three extraordinary musicians who regularly surprise and delight. #music #jazz www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - Angel Dust (1993). Some FNM for the hard core bangers, this album doesn’t stray too far from their funky metal sound, but a solid release for long time fans. Also, be aggressive and a sultry cover of “Easy”. #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime (1995). Amazing album with wild shifts in genre and tone, and a read of the #Wikipedia entry is… amazing. #music #punk #deathmetal #jazz #soul are just a few. www.youtube.com/watch
