A song exactly as long as it needs to be. Beautiful.

Avalon Emerson & the Charm – Jupiter and Mars
I like how some people you can just look at them and see the intelligence burning out of them. Avalon is one of those people.
Night Tapes – storm | Audiotree Live
Great performance. I like how emphatic the vocalist is.
Ratboys – Black Earth, WI (Live on KEXP)
Great performance of a great song. I love Julia’s Nepco V-style custom guitar. Those aren’t made anymore due to some stupid Gibson cease and desist.
Prima Queen – Butter Knife
Such a thoughtful song. And one of the few I’ve heard that actually mentions Covid.
Horsegirl – Anti-glory
I know it’s not super-sophisticated or anything, but I love that grumbly, dirty bassline.
They sound really great for a three-piece band.
Charly Bliss – Black Hole | Audiotree Live
Great performance, and of course half the reason to watch any Charly Bliss vid is Eva’s facial expressions.
I was wondering if she was going to attempt the scream in the song, and she did! It’s at 2:26. Love that.
S. L. Weiss – Ciacona in G minor – Klaudyna ลปoลnierek
So cool. That baroque lute must have cost a lot of loot.
Night Swimming – Warmer (Live at Middlefarm Studios)
Nice performance.
Rhythm* Pocket!: ใHotel Roomใ Remix | Lionclad
It’s so much fun to watch her do her thing.
Moon Hooch – Traffic Cone Traffic Jam
This reminds me of living in Charlotte. Never saw this, but traffic was definitely like this often enough it could’ve occurred easily.
Rhythm* Pocket!: ใDorephin Shopping Centerใ | Lionclad
I have no idea all of what’s going on here, but I like what she’s created and she’s clearly having a great time. What’s not to love?
Khatia Buniatishvili – Liebestraum No. 3 – Franz Liszt
I love Liszt so much.
And what a great performance of that piece. Never could play any of that at speed, but I sure did try. Maybe one day.
Phillip Glass: Etude no. 6 | Elizabeth Joy Roe, piano
Here’s someone else playing the same piece as below to show how stylistically different two interpretations can be. Similar piano model, too, which is great. That allows you to hear the performer’s voice better.
Yuja’s is more formal, frantic and anxious; Elizabeth’s is more bombastic and emotional. I like both, but give the slight edge to Elizabeth’s. Her version just feels deeper to me.
Yuja Wang: Philip Glass Piano Etude No. 6
I usually don’t care much for Glass, but that’s pretty nice. Wish the audio were better.
