I’ve never heard of him — and I say that in a good way as looking forward to someone new to me, as have liked your artists so far.

Unfortunately just on the west coast though. There are so many artists I want to see that do some here but I don't really have anyone to go with anyway :( El Club in Detroit has do many good shows coming up like Blondshell. Nourished by Time was this past weekend. But nobody I know has any clue who they are and my wife isn't keen on it either (and I already drag her to a million things she doesn't want to go to).

He's mostly folk-indie rock. Seattle guy who has been around since the 90s. I would say a little Elliot Smith, a little Smog, little Kevin Morby.

My first full listen is from a jazz supergroup named Trio of Bloom. It features a big favorite of @wikkid pissah pianist Craig Taborn along with Wilco's Nels Cline and drummer Marcus Gilmore who is the grandson of the great Roy Haynes.
The music is largely electric jazz that fluctuates between fusion, afrobeat and ambient. There are no horns which I think may make it more accessible to rock listeners although it gets weird at times. Taborn plays synths with the occasional piano. He has some great interplay with Cline as the guitars and keys swap lead and rhythm while Gilmore cooks up a massive groove underneath.

I looked for this last night but it wasn't up yet. Deluxe Edition means a new remaster superseding the 2007 mix and a live show from 1975.
The original LP was probably one of the first 30 records I ever bought so I've listened to it a lot and got accustomed with its sometimes soupy production. The separation and the clarify of the 2025 edition is better but different.

From the start he didn’t want to rehash what Zep did. Even his collaborations with Page were distinctly different from their Zep work, and when Page wanted to rehash Zep, he had to enlist David Coverdale.This album was really good - he’s really embraced the Americana/roots rock sound and is excelling at it at this late stage of his career.This guy's solo catalog would make for interesting MADs listening

Adjacent to my MAD Afrobeat theme… I posted earlier this year about the re-release of K. Frimpong and the Cubano Fiesta’s “Blue Album,” an artist featured in my 31. Their “Black Album” was re-released yesterday. (I’m sure I would get slapped for posting in the 2025 music thread even if it was never released outside Ghana back in its day.)
This one may have found a spot in my 31.

I'm slow on the draw for MADs adjacent albums this week but needless to say, I was listening to Taylor Swift right after it dropped on Thursday night (here). There aren't as many collective mass cultural experiences as there once were so listening to Taylor concurrently with the Swifties will have to suffice. Album is good but not great; she's been around long enough that her formula is pretty obvious at times.
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is in town this weekend. I rode over for a few hours yesterday mainly to see Margaret Glaspy but also caught parts of sets by Rodney Crowell, Margo Price and Sinkane. We have an out of town visitor today so we're skipping HSB today. Friend of the thread Jeff Tweedy will be on the live stream from the Towers stage at 4:50 Pacific. Rosanne Cash, Buddy Miller, Steve Earle and a host of others are on other stages today. Don't know how much @simey is around these days but Robert Earl Keen is headlining the Rooster stage at 6:00.

Yes, there will be. Had my house kinda destroyed by water damage. And this stuff drags on and on due to insurance, and contractor schedules. It's been three months now and some re-bulid drywalling has finally been done. Hopefully in about two weeks I can think about this.

I'm struggling to visualize this in action, and maybe it's a little too album-centric, but it certainly looks interesting on the first pass.

We are saying goodbye to Boo tomorrow.
She had become more lethargic again and on Friday lost control of her back legs while trying to eat. Her vet visit on Friday revealed that the mass in her lungs has grown and is probably impacting her ability to breathe. She was given antibiotics and an increased dose of steroids and they told us to call back on Monday with an update.
This time, unfortunately, she did not improve much on the antibiotics. She does not want to come downstairs and mostly confines herself to a few spots in our bedroom. And she appears uncomfortable and her breathing continues to be labored. The vet said it’s highly unlikely that she will get better, and likely has a few weeks left at most.
So we made the decision to put her to sleep. As with Cassidy 3 years ago, we are using a service that does the process at your house and they are coming tomorrow.
In the past few days she hasn’t eaten or used the litter box much and her breathing is getting more labored. So while we hate to make this decision, we know it is the right one.

And no surprise - I am waffling on artist yet again. 
2 promises I need to keep going forward - 1 artist, and don't pre-declare. A lot can happen and moods change. Problem is, all I have been listening to in the last couple months is metal and my guitar heavy previous artists of Dino and Journey.

Sorry, was joking because I had at least 3 artists I either selected or was going to for the next round. And I changed in previous rounds.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
Got it. I don't remember people changing, but I don't remember much these days.
What started as "music and Mariners" as I watched games over the last couple months at night turned into "metal and Mariners" pretty quickly. That and my general mood had me leaning more to that genre than I have been in the last few years, so Aimee Mann research hasn't been done for a bit. I am sure something will hit me before this starts, but there are also a couple metal acts in the mix and I hesitate to through more in the mix from that genre.
