If people ever run out of music, there is a site

1001albumsgenerator.com

that goes through the 1001 albums you need to listen to before you die. Randomly. One a day excluding weekends

quite enjoying it

honestly don't know how you lads manage to listen to so much music, access to new music is so easy you never need listen to the same track twice but of course we all go back to old favourites
 

Since working from home I’ve had music on just about all day. Start at about 7:40 and finish somewhere between 4 and 5 depending on my workload and how long I take for lunch.
 
I have to work a bit too much these days sadly

actually you lot spending all day listening to all the shite and filtering it out makes it easier anyway so cheers

Goat Girl is quite nice but it's about 5 tracks too long. I don't know why but I was expecting something a bit more punk!

They remind me quite a lot of my mates band Krush Puppies. Come to think of it, I think they might have supported them at some point actually...
 
Grammy nominee and Madonna, Charli xcx, Vince Staples producer SOPHIE dead at 34. Quite a shock.

By not listening to tracks more than once I'd have missed out on some absolute beauties. When you think it often takes artists a year or more to make an album it'd be crackers to think one listen is enough.

(obviously there will be some that are so wide of the mark in terms of what genre you like you'll know)

Much the same for me. Tend to work with headphones on when not in meetings. I've also taken to watching football with no commentary and music on.

I've pretty much duffed football. Will watch the odd one, but mainly match of the day and that's me done.

Part 1 of my weekly round up of new and newish releases I've been listening to:

Cuba: Music and Revolution - a good compilation of what Cubans were recording and listening to in the 70s and 80s. Very Latin!
Excavated Shellac: An Alternate History of the World's Music - 100 tracks from all over the planet, from between 1907 and 1967. There's a lot to go through but it's very good.
Spare Snare: The Complete BBC Sessions - what it says on the tin, really. 42 tracks of their sessions for Peel, Lard and Vic Galloway plus a live show. They're a much underrated band.
Dead Sheeran - the full length debut from the west country Sleaford Mods. Mostly shouty, sweary and politically charged. The rewrite of "Things Were Better In The 80s" (title changed to Weren't) is the star.
Nahawa Doumbia - Malian veteran (her first album was made in 1982, I think). Very lovely indeed.
Albertine Sarges - eccentric, vaguely post-punkish, mixes spoken word with vocals. A good album which, maybe, sags a bit in the middle when the pace slows.
LNZNDRF - good. A solid return from the National/Beirut supergroup. Quite muscular!
Divide and Dissolve - Australian doom jazz (there's a new genre). I guess it's toward the metal end of post-rock really. Very good anyway.
Arlo Parks - what I expected. Soulful, tasteful songs, quite personal in parts. A good debut.
Lucero - this is good. They're very Drive By truckers.
LICE - angular, artsy post-punk. Intriguing!
Tamar Aphek - probably comparable to Albertine Sarges, maybe a bit more noisy. Lovely cover of As Time Goes By at the end.
The Besnard Lakes - magnificent!
