This has been my background music for most of the last week or two:

Oooh, I love the Gentlemen Bastards books. Have they published any more? I left them on the third novel

Book 4 is due out the back end of this year but I am playing catch up having not read any of them. Halfway through lies of Locke lamora (?) it’s very good.

Also new Godspeed is very good, that and some mogwai gave me a very chill afternoon.

3rd one not as good but I’ve loved them really. Basically Oceans 8 in fantasy times!
The 4th one has been ‘due’ for years but unlike GRRM and Mr Rothfuss, we know Scott Lynch has handed in a manuscript now so I’m reasonably confident about the release date this time! He did pretty much have a breakdown and suffered extreme depression so he can be forgiven for taking his time!

I had no idea this was a thing. Now I have this knowledge it cannot be unlearned.
World in action is a tune.

I didn’t hear about these guys (they played the inauguration, so are probably better known in the US) but they’re GREAT
I tend to like music on the more saccharine-side, and recently discovered K/DA. Not as strong as my love of Jpop, but still pretty fun. And great to write sci-fi to, just FYI.
They have a few others, but it’s all pretty Kpop-Hiphop fusion sorta stuff. It’s been a nice ray of sugar-laced-cocaine-sunshine in an otherwise grim few months.

It’s a strong contender.

Must be a generational thing. I couldn’t make it all the way through that song once, much less want to hear it again… but, hey, subjectivity is a-okay when it comes to music!
I’ve listened to a full album for the first time in… a decade? It was “The Doves”, and I was surprised I had never heard them before… my partner was a big fan of their work before we met.

had read that these guys were the second coming of funk, but didn’t get a clue and take it seriously until recently.
Daaa-aaang that keyboard solo.

While I haven’t spun anything since Star Wars readalong books as a child, this has gotten very regular airtime in my audio space lately:

Some actual spinning today at my dad’s…
Most of these were bought in the 50s and 60s. A lot of Jazz recordings from the 40s and even earlier… surprised my old record player still works 
There is some good stuff here. I think I’ll hire him to DJ our eventual moving in party

I can’t tell you guys how much I hate “guitar wankery” as a genre. Just the same, here I am, listening compulsively to Paul Gilbert of freaking Mr. Big fame. Outrageous slide guitar porn.
[EDIT] Deeply nostalgic from that Pendulum photo. My old record collection was weighed in tons. That’s just one of thousands of records that no longer belong to me.

Why do you no longer have them? Tons? How did you even store that?
edit: I had to look up if you meant the pic I posted… how did you even recognize that song in the lower right corner from that piece of a cover…

It’s the title of the album as well. I’m a huge CCR fan.
As for the tonnage, vinyl gets heavy fast. I had several bookshelves stuffed to the gills with wax. Anyway, Canada is BIG and I moved all the way to the opposite side of it. We had literally started to consider pulling in a favour from his old company (he’s now retired) to try to get space on a freight train out here, but then I would still be left with a sizeable bill AND the logistics of having to recover it all from an awkward location, AND then figure out where the heck it would all go… they were 90% garage sale finds, was time to cull.
