 I've been fortunate to get more music listening time in over the past couple weeks. It's been much needed and appreciated during this long period of isolation and separation from the wider world. I've been running through the catalogs of some of my long-time favorites... like Radiohead, Metric, Muse, Arcade Fire, and TATE. But then out of nowhere a new song catches my ear and I'm reminded of the power of good lyrics and simple songwriting. And that's what these fairly rare entries are all about. What are songs that stick out and make me listen harder and really hear what the artist is saying. 

Without further ado, here are a few that caught my ear recently,

Used to Be - Goody Grace

This is me Trying - Taylor Swift

Transplant - Sea Girls

1,2 - mxmtoon

3 Little Words - MisterWives

fuck, i luv my friends - renforshort

On the Line - San Cisco

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
