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

Nerve racking time of waiting. Trying to keep my head on straight. And trying to be ready to be the strong one for once. Relationships are better, but still seem on the edge of disappearing. I lose myself in the music because it moves me at a level that life rarely does. Here's some of what I'm listening to...

Love is Noise - The Verve
Hash Pipe - Weezer
Karma Police - Radiohead
Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event
Minority - Green Day
Everything will be all right - The Killers
I'm Not OK - My Chemical Romance
