MUSIC ADDICTIONS

The Hadestown Soundtrack. I’m dragging husband with me tomorrow and I’m very excited .

@junipersky The soundtrack was A+.

The live show elevates it to a level I didn’t even know was possible. You’re going to have a blast.

Literally my favorite musical ever. I got the CD set after I saw the show but played the songs on Youtube before I saw it (which is what decided me to see it). I have no doubt you’re going to love it.

The new Pianos Become The Teeth album is really good. Reminds me of my late twenties/early thirties ten years ago when everyone I knew was listening to like Hotelier and such, but if that genre had also matured. If you’re a PbtT fan, in my opinion it’s the album that should have followed Keep You. The new ep by the Front Bottoms kind of makes me feel this way too. Like, wow, it’s great to have made it out of 2014, haha.

Lately when I’m writing clinical notes or cleaning, I seem to grove along better when listening to stuff by Sonic Area or Bohren & Der Club of Gore. If you haven’t listened to either, they’re very spare, a little sad, a little lo-fi, and sometimes a bit eerie. From Sonic Area, I recommend Ki, which sounds like a companion album to a Japanese ghost story. From B&DCoG, I suggest Black Earth, which is just extremely atmospheric smoky jazz.

Appreciate the other recommendations in this thread!

Can’t recommend Der Club of Gore hard enough.

I know replying to yourself is some kind of tacky faux-pas but I figured I’d post a clip of Emma actually wrecking shit.

And maybe another one?

The song right before the intermission had my mouth gapped open and my hand was over it. I didn’t dare blink less I miss even a second.

This musical was FUCKING amazing.

@junipersky Truly. I’m sure everyone in it was wonderful but I wish the original cast had just stayed forever because they were absolutely fantastic, Amber Gray especially. I love her voice.

edited to add a link to her singing Our Lady of the Underground

The Real Tuesday Weld has been one of my favorites for many years. Sadly they are ending, they are making just one more album. But here is a new song of theirs, with a lovely October appropriate music video. I think this would make a good themesong for a lot of different characters.

You dress like it’s the 1970s 
Reading R. D. Laing in Brompton cemetery 
You’re still in love with Susan Pevensie
 You wander through life 
Books and songs kept you in line 
I dream you sometimes, sometimes

Whose that girl you met in A+E? 
Shared your bag then stole all your cutlery?  
I heard that she died 
Just seventeen and so alive
 All those London lives 
Some surrender , some survive
I miss you my dear, dear…

Love Bone Dreams Blood
Love Bone Dreams Blood

You wandered through life 
Drugs and blood could not suffice  
All those London lives 
Some surrendered,  some survived
 I miss you my dear, my…

Love Bone Dreams Blood
Love Bone Dreams Blood

You dressed like in the 1970s 
You were dreaming of Jackie Kennedy  
But it all worked out the way it was meant to be 
Your life and love safe in my memory
My dear, my dear, my dear.

I’m never exhausted rooting for the anti-hero.

Looks like 1/2 of the sisters who made up the defunct Prince Rama is still active.

It’s the especially chaotic sister

NEW BAND! I can’t stop! Dalton Deschain and the traveling Show!

Circus horror punk! With an overreaching plot album to album!

I bought the novel, it’s also good!

Kaelyn Neal — A House with the Fairies (demo)

Live version here, IMO even prettier.

This song was made by a friend of mine in the MU* community.

I’d support her art even if I didn’t really love this, but I truly do; I replayed the live version several times over after hearing it for the first time, as it genuinely moved me.

I believe it should be on Spotify in the near future as well.

@Kestrel
That is really beautiful, and personally relevant in a lot of ways these days.

Taming The Dragon - Brad Mehldau - this one came up randomly in my Spotify discovery and it was a really cool bit of synchronicity because it’s about a lot of thoughts and feelings that have been slowly occurring to me as well over the last year especially.

Wolf Totem - The HU - sure some people remember this one, lol, it was everywhere a few years ago. But I have been really happy how it shows up in my life again at random sometimes, and my niece and nephews have always loooooved having crazy dance parties to it with me and my kiddo, haha.
