Graduated to listening to some classic stuff from Genesis.
And now, have just been listening to Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue with "Where The Wild Roses Grow".
Good idea, I have not listened to them in awhile.
Nope. But no judgement here. Whatever floats your boat.
Play what you like; whether others also share that preference is irrelevant.
Personally, in a Certain Mood, I quite like - and wish to listen to - Philip Glass; other times, I want nothing other than Renaissance - or, perhaps Baroque - music; both are very much minority tastes. Such is life.
Yep, when in the mood. But looking at what I've amassed in the way of rips of my late bro's stuff or my own very occasional purchases, I'd have to call it either pretty eclectic or maybe downright embarrassingly full of holes, pick one.
And.. near alt-country... sometimes. Jeffrey Foucault. Eilen Jewell.
I mean there's no rhyme, reason or cohesion to my collection. It looks like I was in a candy store and said one of those, six of those, a tray of that and what's that on your desk there, is that ice cream on apple pie? Willie Nelson. Brett Dennen. ?!
i'm very selective but yeah...
Currently listening to this...
This is country/Americana saw him live with Gillian Welch last week at the Ryman.
A bit of back story for context. I grew up with C&W around me, so obviously I rebelled against it during adolescence. In university when others would say "I love all kinds of music, except for country.", I would smile and concur trying to "fit in".
Been commuting for about an hour and a half a day for the past few months so i tuned into the local "new country" station, as one does in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and this is what I found....
I reckon country gets a bad rap these days. I was pleasantly surprised with with what i found, especially lyrically.
Cheers
PS> hoping to see some more eccentric country recommendations

cheers.
and yup, i don't care for that kind of country ... more for you though!
Don't you and Alive and Kicking would be two of my favourites.
Listening to some tracks from Mary Gauthier’s "Between Daylight and Dark" album. Songs written after Hurricane Katrina, although not all of them are about the aftermath of that devastation. This one is though: Can’t Find the Way.
It rings true to accounts of a friend about some family of his driving north to Ohio, with a few salvaged possessions, and with a newborn child whose only glimpse of New Orleans may have been in departing it. This was a live performance for KUTX radio, Austin, on April 11, 2013.

Since today was his birthday, I was listening to some Rick Springfield. One of the first LP's I ever bought was his early album, "Comic Book Heroes" a pretty good album. But I really liked his "Wait For Night" album that came out a few years later. He doesn't like that one, but I find it to be a good listen. Much better than his more pop main stream stuff.
Apparently in September. I figured they were calling it quits about 9 months ago, but apparently not. Hopefully their current effort is better than their last one.
Yes, I love "Don't You Forget About Me" - great song, also; if memory serves, that song was part of the soundtrack of "The Breakfast Club" (a movie I quite liked).
"Belfast Child" is also excellent.
The breakfast club. Great movie. Reminds me of all those detentions I had!
I'm laughing reading this.
However, while I wasn't the sort of student who was put in detention, I did think it an excellent, surprisingly thoughtful and very enjoyable movie.
