Album of the Day 266: Two Hands by Big Thief

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWYnRLpmjtk&list=OLAK5uy_nUjoC-ciG9NIUdHE7fPpl-litQ9_6D09o&index=1

https://bigthief.bandcamp.com/album/two-hands

2019 indie folk/folk rock album from Brooklyn, New York. "Not" is the real standout of the album, a great folk rock song that builds up to a Neil Young–esque guitar solo. There's still much to like about the rest of the album, but if you only listen to one, that's where I'd point you.

My picks: "Forgotten Eyes," "The Toy," "Not"

i've always found pop covers of metal songs fascinating as they clearly draw out the original creator's intended melody and reveal the pop underpinnings of metal (standard verse-chorus song structures, for example), and The Cardigan's cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath comes close to being one of my favorite renovations.

anything else come to mind?

@buru5 The Cardigans really liked Black Sabbath, and I love their covers.

@buru5 Oh, and how could I forget CAKE's great cover of War Pigs?

@buru5 "the greatest covers are such that they sound almost like a different song entirely, befitting the style of the coverer instead of the coveree"

I feel like Todd Terje and Bryan Ferry's cover of Johnny and Mary by Robert Palmer is the greatest example of this.

Of course, you could throw in Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love, Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of Blinded by the Light, Charles Bradley's cover of Changes, etc.

Okay, but has anybody actually eaten a slice of the glue pizza? Don't knock it until you try it

Album of the Day 265: Zelda & Chill by Mikel

https://mikeljakobi.bandcamp.com/album/zelda-chill

2018 lo-fi instrumental hip-hop album. It's pretty much exactly what it says on the tin: music from the Legend of Zelda series, but as lo-fi hip-hop.

My picks: "Lost Woods," "Legend of Zelda," "Ocarina of Time"

@optilude Cupcake. I quite like the design of the knurled one, but the very clean white seems to clash with the pickups and pickguard; in the opposite direction, the stratty knobs are too yellowed to fit in.

Album of the Day 264: O.R.B.O.T. by Simon Viklund

https://simonviklund.bandcamp.com/album/o-r-b-o-t

2016 EDM/house EP from Stockholm, Sweden. 21 minutes of absolutely great music with a bit of a chiptune flavor to it, and some killer guitar on the first two tracks. Apparently at least two of the tracks are remixes of songs originally featured in Payday: The Heist.

My picks: "Hold on Tight," "Nemesis," "Interstellar"

I absolutely love Hard Drive. Easily my favorite satirical news source at the moment.

"ICC Issues Arrest Warrant for Cast, Crew Of 'The Big Bang Theory'"

Album of the Day 263: Surface to Air by Zombi

https://zombi.bandcamp.com/album/surface-to-air

2006 space rock/progressive electronic album from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Zombi is a bit of a love letter to Goblin—even the name comes from the Italian release of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, scored by Goblin. Blend in some Rush-influenced drumming and some Tangerine Dream, and you've got this album.

My picks: "Surface to Air," "Night Rhythms"

Album of the Day 262: From This Vantage by The Ascent of Everest

https://theascentofeverest.bandcamp.com/album/from-this-vantage

2010 post-rock album from Nashville, Tennessee. Leans into the chamber music influence harder than most post-rock, with a heavy string presence throughout. Compared to their debut, the band seems to have crafted a more unique sound, although this album does tend to sound a bit too homogeneous for its own good.

My picks: "Return to Us," "Sword and Shield," "From This Vantage"
