1. JB, if you need to chill, this is what I’ve got for you – some twee jangle.

   Seapony, covering ‘Emma’s House’ orig. by The Field Mice:

   And one of their own, ‘What You See’:

   Hope you find these as calming as I do.

   • “What You See” got into my head. I *LOVE* that song.

     Thanks for pointing it out to me.

     • If you like that type of music, there has been a sort of mini-revival of that sort of hazy/jangly/twee-ish stuff in recent years (Real Estate, DIIV, and Beach Fossils being 3 of them). I am a sucker for jangle, and a sucker for drone, so when a band combines those (ideally like the Feelies or The Clean) I am invariably roped in.

       I like Beach Fossils best of all of the revivalists:

       DIIV (Dive) is semi-related to Beach Fossils, I think the guy is a touring guitarist with them:

       Enjoy!

       • And what the heck, the original Field Mice song that Seapony was covering above:

         And a super-sad one by them:

         • OK, I give up. Each of these has two YT links, yet one is in the filter awaiting moderation and the other (a reply to the first!) isn’t. Is there any god more capricious than the The God Of The Spam Filter?

         • The spammers, man. They ruin it for everybody.

     • Second Jaybird’s review of “What You See”.

       Thanks, Glyph.

2. Hey JB, got caught in the spam filter (Your comment is awaiting moderation) due to links – weird, because usually it’s OK with fewer than 3 links.

3. Steven Wilson “Grace For Drowning.” Prog goodness if you are into that sort of thing.

   • Heard the new Flower Kings? Numbers

     • When I heard that song, I listened to “Thick as a Brick” between the notes.

       I couldn’t believe it was a 2000’s song. I would have sworn it was 70’s.

     • I have never heard of these guys, but I will definitely have to add them to my collection.

   • Great song, if unsettling.
