I’m in the Mazzy Star phase of my cycle.
A lot of Darkwave / Synth / Goth Dark Folk
I’ve been on a crazy Danzig/Misfits kick lately. Before that it was Blind Guardian.
I loved that song from the start but when I read Phil Lesh’s autobriogaphy and realised he wrote it about his dying father it “hit me in the feels” all the more!
I like the studio version the best. Have you heard any notable live versions?
Today: the “This is John Prine” station on Spotify.
John Prine is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned. One of the best singer/songwriters of his (or most any) generation.
I don’t think they played it live many times and good job too because the versions I have heard Phil’s singing is way off, like really quite bad. Thankfully he was one hell of a bass player!
Chelsea Wolfe : Abyss and Hiss Spun
Def Leppard at the moment. Lots of Imagine Dragons and Blue October. But also Jurassic Park and IT as audio books.
Dance Gavin Dance Always Has the Jams!
Darkwave goes perfectly with synthwave and coffee…
