Wow. The world sure has changed. The Covid19 Pandemic has swept through the world resulting in tremendous disruption to normal day-to-day life and alarmingly many deaths. I've been working from home for the past 2 and a half months which has translated into less time than normal for listening to music. Finally had a chance to sit down and just listen for a bit and here are a few things that caught my ear.


This series of Australian Artists played on a station starting with Gang of Youths, so thanks to them for kicking it off. An impressive array of talent and sounds from Down Under.

Not Worth Hiding - Alex the Astronaut
Ivy League - Alex Lahey
Never Start - Middle Kids
Morning - Meg Mac
Adore - Amy Shark
Redneck Lullaby - Ruby Fields

The Airborne Toxic Event, one of my very favorite bands released a new album, after the first couple listens, here are the songs that I really love.


Come On Out - The Airborne Toxic Event
All The Children - The Airborne Toxic Event
The Common Touch - The Airborne Toxic Event
True. - The Airborne Toxic Event

Long long time with little to no music. Work has been frantic, the rest of life has sped up rather than slowing down. But a regular thing for me to do in March is to listen to NPR's work up of 100 songs from SXSW artists. Thought I'd jot down a few that caught my ear. Maybe I'll find my way back to more regular listening!!

Listening to a random sampling of artists that are new to me, is such an exciting experience.
