Let’s discuss any and all music here. You’ve got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Do you have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s discussion prompt: What is some silly little thing that you really like about a song, album, artist, performance, music video, etc.?

It could be the brief appearance of an unusual instrument or a specific sample in a song. It could be a minor detail in the cover art or liner notes of an album. It could be a fun fact about an artist you like. It could be something funny or unexpected that happened during a specific concert or performance. Or it could be something you noticed about a music video.

I’ve been on a Breeders kick lately, spending a lot of time in particular with their last three albums – and by coincidence, while it’s never a bad time to listen to The Breeders (or The Amps, or The Kelley Deal 6000 for that matter) it’s even more timely as Kim Deal’s debut solo album is apparently coming out in November. But I’ve also been revisiting the older stuff, and something that never fails to bring me joy is the music video for “Safari” (taken from the EP of the same name). Of course it’s a killer song in its own right, but what I adore about this fairly typical, low-budget, band-playing-along-with-the-song-on-a-soundstage music video is that it looks like they’re co-workers, but Kelley Deal and Tanya Donelly failed to get the memo that it was casual day.

As always, any and all music-related posts are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
