José González starting tour in Boston. Teardrop-since MA canceled their Boston tour on us last year :( These solo performers astound me. His guitar skills, voice, looper and drum pedal make a setlist full of variety.

This song hit hard when the movie Magnolia came out. @aimeemann.bsky.social has a voice that relaxes me. She would be one to see on tour if I can catch her so many years later. I added some fun effects and harms similar to the original but also my own style. on.soundcloud.com/mRYgiiOdcfGz...

Patrick Watson went from highly produced to highly acoustic last night with collabs from La Force (Ariel Engle)

No Front Teeth | Perfume Genius “No Front Teeth” is my favorite song from @PerfumeGenius’s LP “Glory”. I covered it doing both Mike Hadreas and Aldous Harding’s voices. I added some inspiration from the original but it always ends u

“No Front Teeth” is my favorite song from Perfume Genius’s LP “Glory”. I covered it doing both Mike Hadreas and Aldous Harding’s voices. My backing track has inspiration from the original but it always ends up my own. Check out the video and def one of his shows! on.soundcloud.com/fMtUx58xq03w...

Mad World | Tears For Fears This was Tears For Fears 3rd single release in 1982 which put them on the charts in the U.S. It is apropos for today - and maybe any day. Scaled down, a friend recommended that I cover it. It took me

I gave his version a go w/ my new mic. Holy reverb, I know. on.soundcloud.com/ukrpFtiL0iyE...

Carey | Joni Mitchell I put on Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” although I never followed her because it was “my parent’s music”. Funny how every song was familiar to me - a soundtrack to my own life. I gave “Carey” a go because it

Funny how every song on Joni Mitchell's "Blue" was familiar. Never followed her since she was "my parent's music". I covered “Carey” because I visualized a bunch of hippies in the Mermaid Café on that warm, Greek island where she meets that mean old Daddy, Carey on.soundcloud.com/xFrao3GSSZL7...

Busy bee. Lining up Carey by Joni Mitchell. Brutal.

Grace | Idles I had to stop Episode 8, Season 4 of Righteous Gemstones to figure out WTF this song was in the soundtrack! I put this together 2 days after I had it on repeat! I LOVE the video, only to find out they

I had to stop Ep 8, Season 4 of Righteous Gemstones to figure out WTF this song was! I put this together 2 days after I heard it! Love the beat, and it was fun adding some industrial synth and sounds. Deep dive on

Olympus | Blondshell I love this girl! When you go to a show, don’t you hope the opener has a short set cuz you’re there for the headliner, right? When Blondshell opened up for Liz Phair, I didn’t want it to be over! Her

I love this girl! When Blondshell opened up for Liz Phair, I didn’t want it to be over! Her little groupies in overalls yelling “We LOVE you” next to me and every-single-song got me. I’m still hooked on her debut album where I found “Olympus”. on.soundcloud.com/nFPYrc9MtxQ1...

Mary | Sarah McLachlan I saw Sarah Mac at her tour in Boston two nights ago and have been following her since her Vox days. I had the backing track ready for Mary before the show, but hadn't started the vocals. She inspired

I just saw Sarah Mac in concert 2 nights ago & have been following her since her Vox days. She inspired me to get right to the mic as she still flawlessly hits her high notes. I enjoyed putting all of the parts and pieces together for the backing track of Mary too.

When you’ve given up all paid streaming services (and steal occasional logins from your BFF), it forces you to watch quirky shit from your library.

Saw the great SarahMcLachlan who gives me inspiration to keep trying to hit the high notes! Loved all her story sharing!

Golden Burning Sun | Miley Cyrus CONFESSION: HUGE Miley fan here. When a friend showed up at a costume party years ago as Hannah Montana, I went on a deep dive and never looked back. Her newest album,

For pop, my go-to is Miley Cyrus. I laid this down as my son is playing Prokofiev Sonata No.3, Op 28 in the next room😂 Her new album, "Something Beautiful" does not disappoint! I sound like a church choir girl instead of her deep, throaty voice but I couldn't resist

More Suzanne Ciani. Iphone mic can't do it justice.

Went to the leafy suburbs to hear synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani at her alma mater, Wellesley College. She plays the Buchla synth and creates long soundscapes that are improvisational and very avant garde. It was a shot in the dark but I'm hooked!

Here Comes The River | Patrick Watson This is from Patrick Watson's 2019 album

When the news gets shitty (not hard lately), I divert my attention & make a cover. From Canadian musician @patrickwatson's 2019 album "Wave", "Here Comes The River" evoked various unexplainable emotions in me. Looking forward to his 2026 east coast tour. on.soundcloud.com/0pOqW2B15i2a...

It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025) ⭐ 8.2 | Documentary 1h 46m

On my way. Put it off too long for anticipated sadness and waterworks😭😢😭

Suffice it to say I am def an #OMD Super Fan. I was glued to the show. Andy looked at everyone in the eye, so engaging, fun and gracious (his dancing!). #Boston did not want them to leave. And #Waltdisco left us hopeful for the new gen of synth pop!

It’s happening OMD in #Boston tonight. Thanks to short-lived WXXP 100.7 FM, a whole world of music opened up to me in small town Pennsylvania, and I did not spend my youth listening to Top 10 pop music

The Glow (Original) | Marie M I wrote a song! It’s called

I wrote a song! It’s called The Glow 🌟📱⚡️ a social commentary on the internet, the glow of devices in our faces. Youth can’t escape it. I've lived with and without it "Times without the glow were the best days way back then" Managers, my DMs are open 😉 on.soundcloud.com/Y9g64QBcOy0V...

Sinéad O'Connor | John I Love You I told myself I'd NEVER attempt a Sinéad song, but then I pulled the trigger. Not gonna lie. I got chills while singing and recording it, then tears in my eyes while mixing and putting it together. I

I told myself I'd NEVER attempt a Sinéad song. I did it. I got chills while singing it then tears in my eyes while mixing it. My bucket list tour in a teeny venue was rescheduled 3X for Covid, mental health, then abruptly ended by her death. I'm still devastated!

I love it! That's the only reason I appreciate social media! The serendipity of it all. I watched his Netflix and got hooked fast. He also backs up LDR on Candy Necklace which I love!

Thanks! I’ll share with him. I mostly strike out. Let’s see.

I found my musical inspo for today. Down to my keyboard in a bit. A friend is sending me ideas to get my son from playing exclusively classical music 😂 Patrick Watson. Other ideas? Jon Batiste, Lauffey, Ben Folds… ?? youtu.be/A5nb3zOciTU

Current sitch. This instrumental version of Angie is so cool. From Gasper Noé’s movie Climax. “Take ur time. Just chilling in parking lot”😂

My 80 yr old Dad was visiting for my son's graduation and brought his beautiful Taylor, so we plugged it into GBand and started laying down some tracks. An apropos Bob Dylan song for my graduating son! I added my keys and harms! He still plays Open Mics at his age!

Need to play my vinyl more

Perfume Genius with his yoga ball, chair and crazy cords in Boston. Great show! Don’t miss!

I am watching one of these from the library tonight....hmmm. Total rando picks.

What is one movie where one musical artist does all of the songs and score? I was blown away by Z Berg in creepy horror, psych thriller Strange Darling (2023) youtu.be/teX38vZeoH4?...
