Starting a thread of occasional #music #recommendations. The sort of thing I always thought of doing on Twitter but it always felt lame to just tweet "I like this song." But I'm embracing the lameness here! #musodon
First up: "Sanaton maa" by #Korpiklaani. #HeavyMetal with #accordion. Probably discovered via Stereogum's amazing Black Market column, the only way I come upon #metal. Was rocking out to this on the plane yesterday.
#AshleyMcBryde's recent album Lindeville is wonderfully weird, especially for a mainstream(ish) #country album. A concept record about a small town full of oddball characters, complete with Who Sell Out-style fake commercials (Ronnie's Pawn Shop, Forkem Family Funeral Home, etc). Songs still v. catchy, like "Brenda Put Your Bra On." #music #recommendations #musodon

If you’re a #MyMorningJacket fan, don’t miss this 2015 Beacon show they posted to Nugs recently. Very unusual set, full of early deep cuts and quite mellow. I was there and at the time was bummed they didn’t rock out more, but listening now years later it’s a really cool meditative mood. #music #musodon https://www.nugs.net/live-download-of-my-morning-jacket-beacon-theatre-new-york-ny-11-24-2015-mp3-flac-or-online-music-streaming/30847.html
Recent #NewOrleans music discovery is the amazing 2021 album 'Flagboy of the Nation' by #FlagboyGiz. He parades with the current #WildTchoupitoulas tribe but the album blends traditional #MardiGras Indians sounds with hip-hop and bounce. Lyrics mix snapshots of what it takes to be a Mardi Gras Indian with current issues facing Black NOLA residents, like "Gentri Fire in the City": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K04kBLt3CeI
