Look, I'm old. If it was made in the past 10 years, it's current music to me.









Ok that last one is more than a decade old, I don't care it's a classic.

Which has now lead me to Michael Kiwanuka. I should be in bed but I'm just sitting at my computer listening to music that is new to me that is just amazingly good.

He's been doing that a lot more, adding "glue" to laminate disparate songs together. He does great work.
My single biggest concern with him is that he's going to end up in the milkshake duck thread someday.

Someone at work suggested I listen to this because they absolutely love it.


(HARDY - "Truck Bed")

Ok I did. I probably won't do so again.
I didn't tell them that, of course. But I did tell them that the musical part of it strongly reminded me of this:


(New Order - "Blue Monday")

Alright, one more. This one is inspired by a marine, Jeff "Luce" Lucey, who committed suicide after returning from the Iraq war. It's pretty heavy.
