Often, on one of the first seriously hot days of summer I listen to the album #BornSandyDevotional by #TheTriffids
It's not quite a tradition, but very close to it.
I still have 50ish #NewMusic releases to listen to today. I filled my usual weekly listening slot watching the new Geek Girl series. Twice. It was time well spent.
Recording in the basement tonight. Got the main rhythm acoustic guitar track done for the new song. A good start. Used the solid top, back and sides all mahogany Godin acoustic. Recording with a CAD GXL1200 small diaphragm 48v condenser mic. I might double track another acoustic in high-strung Nashville tuning for the chorus. Pondering where to go next with it. Got my Hohner B harp for the solo parts. No drums. I’ll use a shaker though. Sleep on it. #music#recording#songwriting#gearsquad
Philosophy students are fed fundamentalist pap
While science departments excrete that creationist crap
And liberals can't find their testicles without a map

The Amplifier - NYT newsletter that features playlists - is about Lilith Fair this week. I went to multiple Lilith Fairs years ago and have seen Sarah Mclachlan perform more times than I have seen anyone else. They pulled together a Lilith Fair playlist which you can find at the second link (along with how to find previous playlists) #music
Inspired by a thing I saw on Reddit earlier today, I’m going to try listening to more complete albums this year. Maybe daily? We’ll see how it shakes out.
