Aimee Mann calls him "literally the best singer I ever heard", and I couldn't agree more. This long awaited documentary on Jeff Buckley is going to be incredible.

To count this as an R.E.M. side project is to undersell it. Always lovely to see Peter Buck playing but I don’t recall him doing anything this compelling since the band ended. The secret sauce here is Alain Johannes.

Antoine Fafard, ‘Borromean Odyssey’ (2019), some rather excellent jazz/rock sci-fi here. Wonderful ensemble and some superb playing with Todd Sucherman and Gary Husband adding their talent to this project 😎👌

Benson Boone doing Bohemian Rhapsody with Brian May at Coachella. I’d say it rivals Pink’s version…but then you get Brian May!
And FYI, Queen never performed this fully live that I can tell. The middle section was always tape.

I’m a big fan of the unsung heroes of music. From Wham’s Make It Big in 1984, through George Michael’s death in 2016, he relied mostly on ONE guy to hold down the low end.

I’m not sure anyone ever settled the great Toto vs Styx debate from nearly 40 years ago so I’ll step up.
Toto’s best songs are better than the best from Styx.
But Styx had way more cool songs. By a lot.
So it’s a draw. 😜

Wow. Much like the drumeo vids I love so much, here’s the same thing on bass. For this one they get Mohini Dey with a Jamiroquai tune she’s never heard and she just blows the roof off. Ridiculous that she can chart the whole damned thing hearing it once and do THIS?!?! Damn.

Sometimes you just gotta go back to the basics. Pat Metheny’s debut from 1976 has Jaco Pastorius on bass.
This is Jaco as a sideman, perfectly echoing and interacting with Metheny’s silky phrasing. Beautiful work.
