OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

Oh shit! I totally blanked on the excellent Elliot Smith cover.

Man his covers were always top notch. His live cover of Neil's "Harvest Moon" always gets me. That's actually the version I learned as opposed to the original.

He does have a ton of good covers. I had to post that one since you posted the Blue Oyster Cult songs a few posts back.

I had no idea that existed. Thank you for making my day haha... haven't listened to ES in a while, really.

Here's something else from way back in those days I haven't heard in a while

I thought this was King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard when it came on today's playlist:



They're not.

Saw these guys a decade ago.... Range life is one of my fav's from that time period.

For the Ty Segall peeps out there, Fuzz is finally playing Mr. Smalls in April. I've had physical tickets for two years.

When you said ES I thought for a sec you were talking about Elephant Six records, home of course to Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk, Elf Power etc. Takes me instantly back to the early '00s using the Pens board for music sharing more than anything else.

Highly recommend the new Kanye doc (at least part 1) to anybody with an interest in late 90s/early 00s hip hop. It's just really interesting to follow the unsigned Kanye as he tries to break into these circles. Watching him go from office to office at Roc A Fella playing his CD to distracted audiences is so great. Kudos to Coodie the cameraman who followed him all this time.

CNN is airing a commercial for an Anthony Bourdain special.

Haven’t listened to much of the 2020 album, but I absolutely love everything Conor Oberst. ‘98-‘08 was such an incredible run of music. Even the Monsters of Folk album was super underrated.

I’m not huge into them, but I saw him and John Prine together like 8 years ago and Conor held his own.

Y'know, in hindsight with the benefit of age, 1986 was a pretty damn decent year for albums.

Harvest Moon got me into Neil Young, Great song.

I saw them back in November 2011 on their Doolittle “Lost Cities” tour. One of the greatest shows I’ve been to in my life.

Yet another cover. Saw these guys last week in Bellingham (lady's choice). I will say my pulse and BP were at record lows during this show.
