‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July 2022
Featuring, somewhere within this list, an artist who is coming to the Arden Gild Hall in November! (Tickets on sale soon…):
Watch this video from one of our strangest and most fascinating ensembles:
In my seventies, still listening to teenagers. Might even try to book ’em…:
Don’t think he can write a bad, or even negligible, song:
Ordinarily, this would be my default for Nathan Arizona’s fave. But I’m going off the grid this month (you’ll just have to wait…):
OK, I’m incredibly psyched to have booked this artist for the Gild Hall. With an opener who is nobody’s idea of an opener, but a headliner in her own right (you’ll just have to wait…). He has written some of the most powerful songs about our times that I have heard, and boy, can he sing ’em. Didn’t expect him to come out with a kick-ass blues, but he did:
Think XPN will play the shit out of this one?:
You’ve waited long enough–here’s my prediction for Nathan’s fave of the month. A great band that I just didn’t catch on to–until now:
We close with something uncharacteristically–proggy for me. But that voice!:
I was in kind of a mellow mood this morning, so the songs by Bonny Light Horsemen, the Soft Hills and Goon were working for me. At first I thought that was Goose, a different kind of new band I also like. The Sadies song did perk me up, though, as did the Mountain Goats. And I alvvays like Alvvays.
What do you think of Black Midi? And did you like the video?
Wasn’t feeling it after about 40 seconds and then just a little bit here and there. I’ll try again later. Didn’t much like the video, although monkeys are always funny. I see the New York Times likes this group. That usually means I won’t, given their critics’ pretentiousness (this?) on the one hand and pandering to the audience for bland pop that’s mostly dancing on the other (Beyonce and worse).
