Jeepers. 🤘

Today’s earworm.

How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?

Apparently I’ve been getting emails from record labels/promoters over the last few months (just like the old zone days!)… and the first one I opened was the one promoting Victoryland. I had already saved it to listen later, so I bumped it up to the top of the list and was pleasantly surprised. More soon!

What is a song that feels like home to you?

Such a good album.

Hockey night in Canada soundtrack.

What song do you associate with the current season?

Late winter has gotta be post-rock. The new album from Ulrika Spacek is a pretty solid example of that…

One of the benefits of listening to old MP3s is having amazing bands pop up. Bluetip is one of those…

What’s a guilty pleasure song?

Not sure it’s a guilty pleasure but it’s certainly out of the ordinary and definitely can’t get BB out of my head since Sunday.

What’s a song you’ve had on repeat recently?

Really glad I picked up Moonshine Freeze and Off Off On during the recent Qobuz sale.

This Is the Kit are one of the best and most interesting folk bands going... and this song has it all: quiet/loud dynamics, horn flourishes, interesting melodies and more. Highly recommended.

The halftime show was everything I want Crucial Tracks to be: the humanity and connection we experience through music, appreciating music and culture and message even if you don’t fully understand, and the unmitigated joy music can bring to our lives.

How can I not be a fan of Bad Bunny now?
