If you see this post a concert picture you took…

My #1 pick for #SWeptember is Drive Home, off The Raven That Refused to Sing. My love affair with SW began with this masterpiece, and album. It features one of the best guitar solos, ever, and incredible performances from the whole band. It’s very approachable and my go-to for those new to SW.

I got a wonderful surprise in the mail today! Thank you to my friend, Jan for doing the legwork across the pond. I will treasure this!

My #2 pick for #SWeptember is The Raven That Refused to Sing, off the album of the same name. One of the greatest albums of 21st century and maybe, ever, for me. A hauntingly beautiful song, that slowly builds into a powerhouse. SW vocals on point, Beggs’ swirling Bass, the strings; perfect!

SW music friends, I’m going to buy one of these. But I can’t decide! Which do you prefer? Red face? Or Eye?

My #3 pick for #SWeptember is Home Invasion/Regret #9, off Hand. Cannot. Erase. I mean… does it get much better? Absolute monster of a tune. Filled with SW wonder and an incredible band. One of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded by Mr. Govan! Love the trading with Adam at the end. Pure 🔥

My #4 pick for #SWeptember is Ancestral, off Hand. Cannot. Erase. From the gentle start to the explosive metal ending, what’s not to love about this song? It’s got all the elements that make an amazing SW tune, all in one 14 min package.

My #5 pick for #SWeptember is People Who Eat Darkness, off To The Bone. Or Home Invasion: Live. Hardest pick yet! HM Detonation, Nowhere Now. Such an incredible album. Love the raw feel of this tune. Grooves hard. While I’m not a lyrically driven music lover, I love the lyrics on this one&Ninet!

For my top 6 I’m going to do my best to choose two tracks off each of my favorite albums. No easy feat! My #6 pick for #SWeptember is Pariah, off To The Bone. (Not Routine) Incredibly moving song, that really resonates with me. Ninet has such a smoky, powerful voice. Blends wonderfully with SW.

Wow. Band on fire! SW was in a great mood! Unbelievable. Wow wow wow

🤩

My #7 pick for #SWeptember is Staircase, off The Harmony Codex. Near 10 minutes of beautiful organized chaos. Really love this tune, takes a you on a ride! (Have fun tonight Mike!!!)

Music friends, if you haven’t seen the documentary about Live Aid on HBO, I highly recommend it. I was barely alive when it all went down, so it was really cool to learn all about it. Phil Collins remains an absolute legend! I also thought “I Don’t like Mondays” was Elvis Costello. And so much more

After a much needed social media mental health break, I’m back for #SWeptember My 8th pick is King Ghost, off The Future Bites. “You see that’s what I’m talking about” I really enjoy this album, tough to choose one! King Ghost is a rare quick hitter at 4:11. Wonderful vocals, love the buildup.

My #9 pick for #SWeptember is Deform to Form a Star, off Grace for Drowning. Beautiful tune that makes me smile and brings back a lot of fond memories.

My #10 pick for #SWeptember is No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun, off Insurgentes. I Love Gavin’s drum work and the overall tone. Very jazzy, but still metal. Runner up: Significant Other

My favorite Clutch album remastered? Yes, please! 🤘

“I remember this gig well. We played a mix of old and brand-new material. I would normally be very nervous about playing some of this stuff for the first time, however my mind was very preoccupied with the running of our very first WOMAD festival...

Thank you, to all the music accounts on this platform! Specifically, the ones that have hung in there, continue to post daily, and engage with low follower accounts like me. Please know your efforts don’t go unnoticed. Please keep up the great work for those of us that will never go back to X 😎🤘

Whew wee! Ben has created another banger. Much more space rock than country, I prefer it to the last release through the first couple listens. You? Lord Huron - The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1

Superb performance, as per usual, from Steve and his incredible band. Love hearing my favorite Genesis song, played live in the 21st century! Perfect selection of Lamb and solo tunes 😎🤘

Be careful out there in this hot sun this weekend, fellow whites

Dug out this ‘ol gem today. Doesn’t get the love cause; Anesthetize Live? Maybe it’s less polished, but I’ll take this material over and over until my ears stop working; in any form. 😎🤘

Happy Birthday to Ian Paice, drummer for Deep Purple born in Nottingham, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 77 years ago today. What are your favourite songs that showcase Ian Paice? #IanPaice

Musical talent clearly runs in the family! 🥁🔥

Excellent! One of my favorite bands. Highly recommend checking this out. 😎

What “live” performance of a drummer left you speechless?

Now playing… (What a banger!)

I’m absolutely in love with this album!🤘 Similar feelings as when I really got into Frost* Can’t thank Todd Evans enough! Falling Back to Earth is Prog at its finest! 😎🤘

Happy Birthday to the incredible, master of the drums, Mr. Gavin Harrison! 🥁🔥🥳

Excellent rundown! I’ve just finished Affinity 😎🤘 For too long I confused Hawkwind w/Haken. 🤦‍♂️ Thank you for clearing that up once and for all, Todd! Deep dive time…

I love these guys 😎

Truly perfect albums are rare. This is one of those gems. Been awhile since I’ve gone front to back, always amazes every time.

My Morning Jacket put on one helluva show last Monday at The Uptown Theater in KC. They remain one of the greatest live touring acts. 💃🏻🪩🕺 Can’t wait to see them again in August! I am awful at taking photos at shows, but got a couple after it was over.

The more I’ve reflected about my life, or lack thereof, since the fire. The more I’ve come to realize, I wasn’t meant to survive it.

Tonight’s first listen… youtu.be/jEgX64n3T7g

The first ordered, was the last to arrive. (Thanks for the careful handling DHL🙄) Wonder if it’s any good? 🤔😉

Random thought: Why don’t we have a dating app that matches you based primarily on your musical taste? In my experience music is a huge indicator of compatibility, and tells you a lot about someone in general.
