In the car i was listening to Lou Reed's "Blue Mask" CD. Been picking up some of Lou's albums that i previously didn't have.

Wolf People's new album, "Ruins".

It rocks!

The Wave Pictures new album

They kinda remind me of the Go-Betweens but more bluesy

Music did not have the strength it normally does for me this year due to all the grief and depression. Still there are albums and songs i heard that i liked.

i do like the Wailin' Jenny's new album and their cover of "Loves Me Like A Rock"

This song never gets old. I especially love it when I'm in love.

Golden Earring--RADAR LOVE

The new Ibeyi album is pretty good though i prefer their last album which came out a couple years ago.

That sounds great. I need to check out more of the most recent music of today: a lot of good modern day stuff, even tho I'm a classics geek.

Lately I've really been intrigued by the Lost Boys movie soundtrack's "Cry Little Sister" by Gerard McMann. That was the theme song for that movie altho its lyrics sound like they might be inspired by VC Andrews' book series starting with "Flowers in the Attic." Yeah, pretty deep, but emotionally satisfying in a way some 80's tunes tended to be. I really like Aiden's version of it from 2010. More guitar-based rather than synthesizer, which added a rawness to it that worked wonderfully.

Candlebox's song "Far Behind" is epic too!!!

Curtis/Sutton & The Scavengers

Alt-country & blues from Idaho. They got a mix of bleak lyrics and rollicking music. Their new album came out in August, i think.

Loving the song by AC/DC that I just updated my signature with!

Listening to Nyle Quit The Band. They are a power pop/sunshine pop band and the album "Mother's Dream" is from 2016.

Nadine Shah's new album "Holiday Destination"

This stanza from one of her songs is very true:

"Cruel 2016
Was the year that took our idols
What is there left to inspire us
With a fascist in the white house"

"The Unforgettable Fire," is an amazing song by U2 that I think I overlooked. It's really powerful.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's "Nonagon Infinity" album. They released 5 new albums last year and have another one coming out next week.

Bruce Springsteen's "Darkness on the Edge of Town" album. Epic and raw. I am making a point to see him live whenever he comes around my way. Last time I saw him was 1985.

Sharon Jones

Her "Soul of a Woman" album, released late last year after her passing

Excellent soul & funk music

The Hazytones

Found a link to their Bandcamp page

They are a new band but they sound like Black Sabbath or Uncle Acid- that type of hard rock
