FKJ - Ylang Ylang EP
Just ran into this man on YouTube. The album itself is just as beautiful and well-recorded.

If you'd like to watch him make music: https://youtu.be/pfU0QORkRpY
@grey9hound Just looked up the album on Amazon and added it to my Tidal albums for storage. I love the reviews... "This music slaps!"
@slaw Have you heard the Price "Piano and a Microphone 1983" album? Raw, unfiltered Prince, really fun. I particularly like "Cold Coffee and Cocaine." (Figured I should put that title in quotes)
@tomic601 Thanks Jim!  I've got all the parts, just can't set anything up due to house selling and the packing that will have to happen once someone pulls the trigger to buy. Unfortunately will just be on computer speakers and eventually a UE boom Bluetooth speaker until I get a new house. It's torture walking by my new DHT preamp every day and not being able to listen to it.

(P.S. Apologies if I called you Tom at some point, feels like I might have at some point.)


@tomic601 At the end of my last semester as a professor we transitioned to online because of covid and I'd just post lectures for them to view at their leisure and then sit around on zoom during class time in case anyone had questions.

Teaching 100 mostly freshmen who just got sent home, they didn't come to ask anything and so I started spending that class time posting a bunch of live performances as a form "stress relief" for anyone who wanted to take a break.

I played that live version of MS's Fade from Shoreline in 1994. It's burned into my brain. She gives a powerful performance for a shoe-gazer... https://youtu.be/o4m5jQy5A2U
@slaw Lucero is also great live!  Saw them last fall before the pandemic in a nice little venue for a couple hundred people.  A couple I'm friends with have probably seen them 50 times.
Hope I don't ruin the thread but if I suggested an album and you hadn't already heard of jd beck, you might just think this was a fusion jazz band with a drum machine:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCnrYD9HaRg (song 2 is where he shows what he's capable of).

Plus my system is dismantled for house showings, so I'm stuck on the computer...
And Sea Change is one of the best albums ever made in my opinion. +1 on anything positive ever said about that one.

I was inspired by the Ohio reference:

Sun Kill Moon - Common As Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood

One of the most unique lyrical styles I've ever heard if you haven't listened to Kozelek before.
Hello folks.  Beautiful 17 year old thread you have over here.  Just commenting so that it comes up in "my activity".  Curious to see what folks are listening to over here...
