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.
