Been listening to a lot of country / modern country lately including artsits such as Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley or Midland. Known Jon Pardi for a while as well and a few of his songs but hadn't given his most recent album (2016's California Sunrise) a full listen until yesterday but now I'm hooked. I've really become a sucker for this type of sound, a catchy blend of country, pop, rock

The saddest thing is that you have a maestro like Enzo Almanzi and you make him sound like a pussy cat. 

Btw, still Ghost Of Graceland >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tunguska  (What a waste of a great title)

Yeah man, Enzo is a good dude. I'm also a bit disappointed as my only gripe is the WAY it sounds

Seeing as this is the band's second album with a ''thinner'' sound it had to be a conscious decision they (or someone) took which for me is hard to understand

Blackkklansman

Not for me either and I was open to it but just don't like those two new songs. His 2009 album Universal Language had some nice tunes on it and I remember listening to it quite a bit when it came out. This is "solid"  in my eyes

Been too long since I listened to this, will do so tonight. Especially looking forward to Hope and Reincarnation for their mellow parts and big sound

Welcome back Wotty.

I googled that movie thinkin ''why does Wotty sound so familiar''........ and sure enough it's a HH user

The Sisters Brothers, nice western with Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly

Immediate standout for me and strong album closer, listen to this:

I cannot understand why nobody ,thus far, didn't bother to upload Lil' Miss R'N'R/Last Kiss on youtube... These,initially,  were like 85-90 songs from me but,now,  hardly I can skip a week without playing them. And this is where the magic/aging bouquet of this lp is. 10 years earlier and I'd try to release it on vinyl.

 

Sporting a "The Defiants" tee right now! 

I like Lil Miss RnR too, such a great vibe but I think most people see it as an average song. I like it cause it reminds me of Foreigner's ''Headknocker'', love the feel and especially the part where Paul sings ''You wore those stiletto heels and skintight jeans, man I couldn't get enough'' with the guitar bend in the background, so cool

And Last Kiss I think most people can agree is a fantastic song, so good from start to finish with the big whoa, whoa etc in the end

21-year-old Lewis Capaldi has released a 4-track EP and 3 stand-alone singles, some of it borders a tad too much on the sad and sappy but overall he's one of the more interesting pop artists today. Based on a few interviews and social media posts I've seen from him he's quite the chipper fellow which his music doesn't necessarily reflect. Here's some songs for you to check out

You'll all be happy to hear that the band is working on their next album........ release is sometime next year I think

Have only heard a few samples and a handful of complete songs but I must admit there's something there......

Some moments really make my heart melt,  sounding like the REAL THING

Like ''Tough It Out'' you said??? Please don't play with my emotions like that..... need to check it out, hope I won't be disappointed

Production aside, all those 3 samples sound exquisite. Great energy throughout the verses, lots of hooks and catchy choruses 

Visited my uncle in Germany this past weekend and we watched 2 movies

Grown Ups 2
Nice Guys

I had seen both but he hadn't, laughed a lot during both and I was especially surprised that he liked Nice Guys so much. I've seen it 3 times now, definitely recommended!

nice tunes but sounding very thin. What happened to the chunky Crossfire sound & Production ? 

Glad I'm not the only one, I'm missing a bit of delay or echo for that bigger sound like Crossfire or also the moment when the guitar riff starts in Cry Wolf off the Serenade album. Now THAT'S what I wanna hear!

By the way here's the tracklist:

1. Binary Music
2. Tears Of Gaia
3. Nothing Personal
4. Promised Land
5. Love Songs
6. Dangerous Grounds
7. Queen Of The Prom
8. Who's Counting Time
9. Julia
10. To Have And To Hold

Julia is a remake of a song Michael Palace recorded with his old band Big Time, here's the original version (sorry wouldn't embed):

This is oddly the last song on the record and they release it as the first single, only listened to the 30 second preview the other day and got a Toto vibe (mid 90s Tambu or their last album) in terms of sound

Still can't get into the debut, just two days ago a song (Stranger's Eyes) came up on a playlist and it starts off very promising with a breezy, beachy feel in the intro and the first verse also sounds nice. So I tell myself why didn't I love this 2 years ago when it was released, maybe I should revisit it........ then the pre-chorus kicks in and I'm like yeah, now I remember why  I don't know, just seems ''off'' to me and the only track which was good front to back without any out of place sounding parts is ''Man Behind The Gun''

Now let's just hope for more Serenade and less Silhouette in the production department, but I'm probably alone with that opinion

Preview above sounds promising as expected 

Tag, not as funny as I'd hoped but fun movie nonetheless

That must be one soft album if No Erasin is considered a ''rocker''

Short preview of a new Catalano track, album slated for release this year but no date announced yet
