Beatles👆🎶

Everything sucks ass. I find solace in #music. Here’s a too-long thread of music I’ve listened to recently.

Enjoy.

The opening song from The Beatles’ best album. Oddly, Paul McCartney plays the excellent guitar solo. #musictherapy
Cracker👆🎶

“Everything seems like a dream, when you’re suffering”

Cracker are sardonic, world-weary, fantastic, jaded, sarcastic, and fucking loaded with pathos.

Love this band.

Thievery Corporation with Mr. Lif
👆🎶

A recent discovery for me. TC are electronic-y, Mr. Lif is a fine, socially conscious rapper. Dig.

A fine collaboration.
#music #musictherapy
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 👆🎶

“They’re bringing out the dead now, and it’s easy if we just walk away”

Nick Cave is an artist with a deep catalogue. All his projects are worth exploring. #music #musictherapy

He’s usually not upbeat.
We Are Scientists 👆🎶 #music #musictherapy

Watch the video. Note the band name. Look at the album cover.👇

These guys are nerds. Total fucking dorkwads.

They rock like sumbitches.
Ani DiFranco 👆🎶

I have a special fondness for this song.

A friend of mine put this on her “This Is Me” CD when she & I exchanged them.

She knew I was deeply flawed. She accepted me as such.
#music #musictherapy
Sarah Vaughan 👆🎶

Sarah sings Gershwin is the best jazz vocal album in the history of music. Every #music lover should own it.

I went there. #musictherapy
Joseph Arthur 🎶👆

Love Joseph, began listening to him a year or two ago. A fine artist. Peter Gabriel discovered him.

Not a bad track on this album.
#music #musictherapy
Wolf Parade 🎶👆 #music #musictherapy

Wolf Parade have 2 front men, who also work worthwhile side projects.

The album is one I turn to when I need an old friend.

Did I really just write that? Desperate times, bitches.

SMTH.
Frank Sinatra 👆🎶

Sinatra is perceived as a bombastic singer, due to “NY, NY” & “My Way.” #music #musictherapy

No singer was more subtle than Frank Sinatra.

And if you disagree, prepare for cement shoes, amirite? #Subtle

Great album👇🎶
Cursive 🎶👆

“I spent the best years of my life, waiting on the best years of my life”

This band comes from Nebraska. Literate, rocking, worthwhile.
#music #musictherapy
Curtis Harding 👆🎶

How is this artist not from fucking 1972? Seriously.

Nice old school feel, with modern recording.
#music #musictherapy
The Roots 👆🎶

“The Tipping Point” is one of my very favourite albums, and underrated. #musictherapy

The Roots are the best hip-hop act in the history of #music.
Mavis Staples 🎶👆

Mavis goes way back, and seems a genuinely good person.

She’s pretty fucking groovy when she does soul-rock hybriddy work.

A fine live performer, as well.
#music #musictherapy
Melissa McLelland 👆🎶

@ladyred1956 turned me on to this song. Cinematic shit up in here.

“Buying smokes for kids, and pocket the change.”

Yeah. THE. SHIT.
#music #musictherapy
Calexico 👆🎶

“Tossed a Susan B over my shoulder”

I love Calexico - this is some Americana I can get behind. Cray underrated band. #music #musictherapy

GAH!👇
Karen Dalton 🎶👆

This song speaks to the part of me that wonders if life would be better somewhere else.

I’m sure it’s just me.
#music #musictherapy
John Lennon 🎶👆

Lennon’s first album after The Beatles disbanded. #musictherapy

It’s musically spare, gut-wrenching, fucking incredible. Truly a work of art.

One of the best albums in the history of #music.
Method Man 🎶👆

How’s Meth get 90 proof vodka? Qué el pescado, hombre?

Method Man & Ghostface are the best 2 rappers in Wu Tang. #music #musictherapy

You’re welcome.
Charles Mingus 🎶👆

Mingus is one of my absolute favourite musical artists. His catalogue is cray fantastic.

I’ve been steered towards numerous artists when they played on his albums.

One appears later in this endless thread. #music #musictherapy
The Clash 🎶👆

What a great album “London Calling” is. #music #musictherapy

The Clash sacrificed no urgency, demonstrated a wide musical palate, improved production values.

Spectacular.
Clinic 👆🎶

Everything Clinic does sounds menacing. An excellent band. #music #musictherapy

Ummm.....👇🤔
Neko Case 👆🎶

Neko does this noirish-folkish-formerly-countryish thing better than anyone. #music #musictherapy

This is from her latest, which has a pretty bad album cover.👇
Kate Nash 🎶👆

Man, this song kills me. It’s sweet, good-hearted, amusing, poignant, hopeful.

I’m a sucker for sentimental, yearning relationship songs.

https://twitter.com/fenrir_71/status/1240051331928412160?s=21 so this fucking thread is taking way too long.

Must. Finish.

@fenrir_71 dropped this👇thread a couple weeks back, with 34 songs. Mine must be at least that.

GAUNTLETS WERE THROWN.

Shearwater 👆

This song is kinda mystical, starts like a gallop, then feels like it’s gonna break - a lot of tension here.

All I ask of life is for SOMEONE to understand why I dig this. #musictherapy #music
Jaki Byard 🎶👆

A fine, musically eclectic #jazz pianist, is Jaki. He played with Mingus.

A recommended artist for those looking to explore jazz. (voice echoes)
#Music #musictherapy
Muse 🎶👆

Sometimes, you need some over-the-top, unapologetic bombast.

That is Muse.
#music #musictherapy
Initially, I wasn’t drinking. That was prior to this becoming a 10-fucking-hours project, ignored by the #EchoChamber.

SMTH.
All Them Witches 🎶👆

Oddly, @ladyred1956 turned me on to this band, also.

They’re heavy, a bit different, diverse - a groovy band.
#music #musictherapy
Drenge 👆🎶

In general, I’ve been looking for heavier #music. This lead me to Drenge.

An interesting, bottom-heavy band I’m digging.
#musictherapy
PJ Harvey 🎶👆

PJ Harvey is one of the very best artists of the last 30 years.

She rocks harder than any of you bitches ever have.

I went there.
#music #musictherapy
Marilyn Manson 🎶👆

Is it bad when EVERY day is the 3rd of a 7 day binge?

Asking for a friend. #MovingTarget
#music #musictherapy
Bilal with Kendrick Lamar🎶👆

Bilal is a really good artist. One of those you can tell listen to all types of #music.

Kendrick’s cameo here is 🔥
#MusicTherapy
Los Lobos 🎶👆

Los Lobos have 2 really excellent albums I dig - “Kiko And The Lavender Moon,” which I think @fenrir_71 dropped a tune from, and “Colossal Head,” where this tune comes from.

It kicks, bitches.
#music #musictherapy
Afghan Whigs 🎶👆

Final and 34th track, by my count. I know I’ve dropped it before.

Doesn’t matter.

AFGHAN. FUCKING. WHIGS. COVERED. FRANK. OCEAN.
