Music Thread (post a song)

How about some early SCOTS. I liked Mary Huff better in a platinum wig and miniskirt, but the tune is pretty good.

 

So I've really been getting into Teddy Swims and he's already announced his tour for next year. He's playing near me in SEPTEMBER, tickets are north of $120. I've seen enough clips of his live show and it would be worth it, but buying tickets to a show almost a year in advance? Will any of us be around? Shouldn't there be a cap on how far in advance you can buy concert tickets. Reminds me of an NPR pledge drive - for the price of just one latte a week I can see a concert in 11 months that will maybe go 2 hours.

 

Cunningham Bird have done a cover of the full Buckingham Nicks album. The songs are their own arrangements, not slavish covers, and it's really good work.

Saw this on Dick Whitman's FB page. Sucks.

One of the best American songs of all time.

 

Can’t read the link (not a RS subscriber), but that’s a shame. Sweet can’t be that old — younger than 60 — and I’m pretty sure he was still performing.

His “Girlfriend” album is solid from start to finish and one of my favorites from the 1990s.

 

Aw, shit. I saw that his tour was abruptly canceled this weekend because of health reasons, but I had no idea it was this bad.

And agreed -- "Sick of Myself" is wonderful. "Girlfriend" gets all the love, but I think his "100% Fun" album is the best thing he's done.

Hope he can get through this well.

 

Bar just played The Stroke during happy hour so I think I may or may not get a point in the Prancing Billy series.

 

My favorite song from an underrated genius

 

Just a wonderful, wonderful rock record by The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon. Just a great, tight song that says a few things we would maybe never say, but totally feel:

Brian's solo stuff is really good, especially this album, "Sleepwalkers."
