I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.
EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.
I love KGLW but I don’t like the microtonal stuff.
To each their own. That’s part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They’re a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!
Propagandhi - At Peace https://youtu.be/CDhTf3eaeoM
I was about to suggest this, can’t wait for the album
And if you want John K Samson doing indie rock with alt-country influence, the Weakerthans are fantastic. I highly recommend listening to Reconstruction Site straight through.
His solo stuff is great as well.
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.
The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset)
/watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E- Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only… ;-;The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.
*Track from their newer album:
「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash)
/watch?v=XtuzSsFWKikI’ve been getting into tech house lately. It’s fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
Chumbawumba
On the Day the Nazi Died. Good track.
All the music on the show Letterkenny is amazing and whoever curated that is a genius. I especially like Peaches, Fuck The Pain Away.
From what I know, Keeso himself is the guy.
Agreed, some of the best music selection for a show of all time.
Don’t sleep on the Shoresy soundtrack either.
I haven’t gotten to Shoresy yet but yes I hear that. Keeso is a gem, should be on stamps. His performances are just meticulously crafted.
Oh man, Letterkenny walked so Shoresy could run. You’re in for a treat.
Also I LOVE that they used French Canadian music on the show! It’s so nice to hear. I will start Shoresy soon, just Letterkenny echoing in my head a bit right now. Sometimes I just play the episodes and only listen because I find the dialogue comforting as I work.
Shoresy is incredibly good. You never expect it to have as much heart as it does considering the main character.
Hell yes, I already several songs from the show on my regular playlists.
It’s just so perfectly selected. Not much music I would normally listen to, but it’s all really lovely to have discovered.
Lol that song has been around forever. Still a banger!
I remember dancing to it at alternative music night at the bar when I was 23.

A Speculative Fiction - Propagandhi
Absolute banger, and prophetic no less. But really just everything Propaghandi has put out has been in heavy rotation the last 6 months
Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Life. It’s quite good, as is pretty much everything he’s ever done.
This.
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Cool song, cool video
Oh dank, I had no clue there was a video. Good callout, the new album was great
Always been a Clutch fan, but I’ve been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.
Not so much a particular artist but more of a genre: Instrumental covers of video game music. I haven’t listened to much else in the last couple years:
In particular this acoustic guitar version of Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time:
And this piano version of Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night:
This Jungle Hijinx cover is incredible.
The new Skrillex album is quite possibly his best.
