Wurld Series - What's Growing (2021)
Indie rock from New Zealand. Pitchfork sez:
On What’s Growing, their second album, Wurld Series shake off the lo-fi trappings of their early work, further exposing the wit and ingenuity of Towart’s lyricism and, in the process, distinguishing themselves as a band more thoughtful—and more pleasantly looney—than your average ’90s revivalists.
With each song, I become more enamored of the crunchy guitars and offbeat lyrics. This one definitely deserves another spin, and soon!
on the Sam-O-Meter.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (1959)
Thad Jones - The Magnificent Thad Jones (1957)
Have done pretty well with my yearling listening for 2011, so a bit of a late day jazz diversion to wind down

La Batteria - s/t (2015)
It's redonkulous that RYM considers this progressive rock.

Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again (rec. 1936-43, ASV LIving Era comp. 1994)
This collection gathers two dozen of Dame Vera's earliest sides, waxed when she was as young as 19. Her voice, like the photo used for the cover, reveals a woman wise beyond her years, balancing emotional vulnerability against the wistfulness of sad experience. Many of these songs were re-recorded over the years but these are the originals released up through the middle of WWII, including "We'll Meet Again" backed only by Arthur Young's Novachord (the first synthesizer).

I don't know why, but this song just strikes me so firmly in the heart. Maybe it's because I always recall it when I think of all the people in my life who have passed away. And Vera's rendition is so pure..... including "We'll Meet Again" backed only by Arthur Young's Novachord (the first synthesizer).

It made quite the impression on Roger Waters.

They should've called it The Ferryless Roxies.
What happens when everyone in the band gets sick and tired of the lead singer, Brian Ferry? They split up and then reform as their own band without him. And the live results are pretty damned fucking good.

That does not pass for legal advice, tho'.
