Feel really weird about the Kozelek news. Really hate his new stuff, but his records have always held a deep place in my heart. I also think that is largely because he is someone that is flawed and from what I read I’m confused whether this is sexual assault or simply fan / artist worship gone wrong.
Ugh.
Didn't see this one posted in the thread and I feel like some of y'all need this song in your life
It seems I am just discovering some great stuff. I was never a huge Pink Floyd fan growing up. I never really got them, to be honest. As I got older, I started to understand and appreciate them. I now consider them a band I like. However, I had never really heard the Animals album until recently. I started seeing people ranking their favorite Pink Floyd albums and putting Animals at the top. I was curious because I know Dark Side very well and I love The Wall a great deal now.
So, I took a listen to Animals. Mind blown. Seriously, it is just so damn good. Sometimes, I zone out from some of their longer songs. But not this album. It grips me and never lets me go. I now consider Pigs (Three Different Ones) my favorite Floyd song.
Now I am starting to get into Opeth. I thought they were a death metal band and I don't really like death metal. I can't get past the growls. So then I found out that they now sing and are more of a prog metal band. I listened to Sorceress and again, mind blown. Tremendous musicianship. I love it a lot.
Usually, I listen to blues but these days I find myself listening to more proggy stuff.
