#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jethro Tull - Curious Ruminant (2025). Ian Anderson’s Tull and voice have aged poorly over the years, but this is the first new album that feels like real Tull in decades, if a tad muted. #music #progrock #folkrock www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: KARMAKANIC - Transmutation (2025). The first new album from Jonas Reingold’s KARMAKANIC in nearly a decade. Features Simon Phillips, Steve Hackett, Nick D’Virgilio, and more. #music #prog #progrock #neoprog www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Bob Mould - Here We Go Crazy (2025). Starting to check out the new releases, and there’s new Bob!! YAY!! No full album on YouTube yet, so here’s the title track. #music #rock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Descartes A Kant - Live on KEXP (2024). I get serious DEVO vibes from this band, but they’ve created their own sound, and I’m diggin’ it. Definitely worth 45 minutes of your time. #music #rock #neopunk #DAK www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Various Artists - Bass Anthology: Vol. 1 (2021). I can’t find any info other than it’s from France, focuses on bass players, and is only on Apple Music so I made a playlist of what I could find. #music #bass #jazz #funk #soul #blues www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Far More (2019). How many lawyers do you know who can shred like this, and with range like Eric Johnson and does an MJ cover!? Not many, I’m guessing. One complaint… the album is too short! #music #instrumental #rock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Live @ Sony Studios NYC (2000). As was typical of the era the audio is phenomenal but the video is 4:3 and blurry. Doesn’t matter. Still fantastic. Thanks for everything, Walter! #music #jazzrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol IV (2017). With Greg Howe on guitar, Ernest Tibbs on bass, and Dennis Hamm on keys. The first I’d heard of Simon was on Celtic Run, the sixth track. I’ve tucked in fully since. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

The wife recently discovered #Goose, an amazing new-ish #JamBand, and we’ve been digging into their epic shows. I’d read in #Wikipedia that they had a special guest drummer a couple years ago, and found it. Enjoy! #music #rock #muppets www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lee Ritenour & Mike Stern with The Freeway Band - Live at Blue Note Tokyo (2011). Today is def Simon Phillips day, as he plays drums in this show with John Beasley on keys, and Melvin Davis on bass. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
