Young Fresh Fellows - Picturebook

They don't really all play the drums. :)

My first instinct is to share Yes songs, that I can magically pick the song I’m obsessed with that will click with anyone who hears it. But alas……

SO! I’ll go with a more recent song. Island “Set The Fairlight” https://youtu.be/D_blCeS9kdw?si=5JqVazYWz7-acBlp in under 6mins it’s a frenetic sprawling masterpiece of up and down and left and right. Nick always has some prog tendencies (listen to Islands Arm’s Way album all the way through, wow! But this one he kept super tight and fun, and that scratchy fast dry guitar strumming and wild synths! UNf!!!111

Spose - Alternative Radio

This is just a fun, honest song about growing up on 90s radio. Spose is a good guy and makes some great music. He had a brush with a hit song (I'm Awesome) and was courted by record companies, but ultimately decided to go it on his own.

Slowdive - alife

Their new album is out today. It's new, that's why you should listen to it.

you never get that feeling on a song where you are like, “Oh man, the whole world needs to hear this!!!”
