The Fiery Furnaces always had a special place in my heart because of Blueberry Boat and Gallowbird's Bark, but once when I was skimming through their discography I never payed much attention to this album, because at the time I found it wasn't on par with the rest of their stuff.

And now I'm skimming through their disco again. Can't believe I left this alone for so much time. This song is a fine piece of drug music.

Just goes to show how absolutely genius these guys are.

Alex Cameron is back with another four-chord masterpiece. I love this man.

Awesome musical storytelling:

Currently I'm enjoying this song by Tupac Shakur, the drums and the bass are pretty damn dope. Back when I was a kid and a teen hiphop was pretty much forbidden and deemed socially unacceptable where I live, so never got to listen to it back when it was new. Gatekeepers and moral police can go screw themselves.

Really into John Dowland's Earl of Essex Galliard right now... such a great tune and would love to be able to play it but that fretting is too hard for me with my limited skills on the guitar and I suspect it's a lot of lever work on the harp as well. Will get there one day.

Other than John Dowland, guess it's gotta be Dua Lipa and "Houdini" but I may already be in the process of getting tired of it as it's popping up on multiple Spotify playlists these days.
