Well this girl´s sound reminds me a bit of old Liz Phair  with touches of The Breeders on her earlier songs.   I like music that doesn´t try too hard.  I recommend checking out her previous albums at the bottom of this post if you are like me and appreciate simplicity   The new album is called The Lamb (comes out Sept. 28, 2018) and you can read a Bandcamp article on it and an interview with the artist, Lillie West,   here. Of  the three songs that have been pre-released my favorite is Water Over Sex.    The Lamb by Lala Lala   Here are the other two tracks that are currently available. The Lamb by Lala Lala The Lamb by Lala Lala Lala Lala has two other albums.   Sleepyhead came out in 2016. Sleepyhead by Lala Lala Have A Good Day came out in 2015.   This is probably my favorite of Lala Lala´s three albums.  HAVE A GOOD DAY by Lala Lala

If the kid in you has not completely died you should enjoy these magical musical moments from Sesame Street. My favorite, of course, is the #1 song on the list Nasty Dan performed by Johnny Cash with Oscar the Grouch saying, "Aren't you Johnny Trash?" Check out this great Paste article here.

I have really grown to love the Mountain Goats.     It´s really unique music with a lot of emotion that comes through the music, the vocals and the lyrics.    Give it a listen and let me know which is your favorite track.   For me and for now my favorite is the first track, Song for Ted Sallis. Hex of Infinite Binding EP by The Mountain Goats

Some more seriously interesting music off of Bandcamp.     The autotune puts a cool spin on the ol´  Swamp Dogg´s sound.   My favorite track is Sex With your Ex.   Listen below: Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune by Swamp Dogg Here is the whole album Love, Loss and Auto-Tune Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune by Swamp Dogg You can read the original article where I found this music here: Swamp Dogg Teams With Bon Iver For an Auto-Tuned Take on the Blues

I am a big Hold Steady fan and so I am always happy to see them releasing stuff on Bandcamp.     Here is their latest for your listening pleasure. Confusion in the Marketplace b/w T-Shirt Tux by The Hold Steady CONFUSION IN THE MARKETPLACE  / LYRICS Princess came to breakfast looking puffy from the  Prednisone Someone’s little sister had me marching to the metronome The Maharaji on the mountain with a megaphone Reaching for the secrets in the static on the stereo There’s something funny about the place that all the money goes Coughing up the offering and in between his toes Knew a couple kids from when I still went to shows All the little hornets forming swarms around the honeycomb Searching for a purpose or just something we can celebrate People take advantage of confusion in the marketplace Hard to have much faith when they can’t keep their story straight Came back from the mission and her hair was in her mouth again It’s just another part of her do...

I have gotten lucky the last couple of days.   The Bandcamp recommendations have been really good stuff.   Here is another "song of the day" worth sharing.   It´s a nice combination of cheerful, bouncy music paired with quite dark lyrics.   Listen to the song and read the lyrics below.    Trapping Season from  Nobody's Watching  by  Steady Holiday I set a trap out in the woods I didn’t know what I would catch I set it out just after lunch And before dark I heard a snap The scream it lead me to the trap The thing was struggling on it’s back I saw a face I didn’t recognize Took it to the butcher Proudly brought back dinner I set a trap out in the woods I didn’t know what I would catch I set it out when no one looked They think I fearlessly attack The scream it lead me to the trap The thing was asking for a hand I saw it’s face, it looked a lot like mine Glad I brought my butcher ...

A few minutes ago I had no idea who Devon Welsh was but after hearing the first line to the first song, By The Daylight, I was hooked. Dream Songs by Devon Welsh So this is one of those Bandcamp discoveries of an artist who has already been around for quite a while.   I have learned that he is from Montreal, Quebec (Canada) and he had a band called Majical Cloudz which of course I will be checking out very soon as well.  Now these songs are a bit slower than what I usually listen to and I am surprised by how well they keep me interested with my highly-limited attention span.   Welsh´s voice really is hypnotic and goes to show just what sincerity in music can do.   There is very little here but powerful lyrics, an incredibly expressive voice and sparce acoustic accompaniment.  Check this one out! Dream Songs by Devon Welsh I will include one more song here and you can find the rest of the album Dream Songs on Bandcamp . Dream ...

Some truly beautiful music and wonderful performances.   No autotuning here!!!

Deep SHT Part 1 (EP) by SHT Musik Here is one of my favorite songs by SHT Musik (me) because it is all about creating stuff just for the fun of it.    The internet, YouTube, Bandcamp etc. have given us a great platform to share our creations and even if I never make a cent from my "art" I really don't care.    I remember the first time I got my hands on a tape recorder back  in the ' 70s and recorded myself singing along to a song by the BeeGees.   You can see that 40 years later I'm still going at it!   So as the lyrics say, "this song is not for primetime"  but I hope some people will find it entertaining.     NOT FOR PRIMETIME  This song is not for primetime  This song is not worth a dime  This song is my life of crime  This song is not worth your time  -----------------------------  Art for art´s sake fabrication  Put a face on inspiration  Here you have my speculation...
