Music of the Moment

Excellent new album from Carling & Will, “Oh, Mongoose”—mostly instrumental banjo music with a few singing. A few of my favorite songs below.

Oh, Mongoose


Creeping Myrtle



Nightshades

Margaret Macarthur - Duncan Campbell (traditional)oops. Actually she wrote it!
A haunting French-and-Indian-War ballad…complete with blood-soaked ghosts visiting in the night.

my housemate really loves our local community radio station - boulder creek community radio is on all day almost every day lately =)
i can tell most of their DJs are Gen X - just by the sheer amount of the cure, morissey, new order, and how very many times i have heard love will tear us apart again ! they just played it yet again, its ok, i could listen to it every day !
it definitely takes me back to my youth, the feels, the sounds




they have been playing all these remixed cure songs. must be an album or two out there i'm not familiar with of remixes.







some more old stuff --

Sometimes only one or two of the songs I intend to post here actually end up being added. I think tonight was the first time not a single one made it. The original list was hard core rock best played at ear splitting volume but when I sat down I just wasn't in the mood for that right now. Maybe I'm getting old. Well, I'm old enough to remember Ralph Stanley. Some of his very valuable banjos are in one of these videos. Enjoy.

Jumping in on this older post because I recently discovered Khruangbin, and I've been loving their blend of psychedelic vibes and global influences. Curious if anyone else has stumbled upon them, or any similar artists you’d recommend? Let's get this musical sharing going again! 🎶

Not the biggest Khruangbin fan here, but I think Makaya McCraven is on a similar vibe, but with better compositions:

And if you don't mind synthesizers, Elijah Fox: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHxZJo1zkLE&t[/youtube]
