There is something in my brain that attracts me to songs with unusual time signatures, difficult time changes, ticking clocks and polyrhythms (especially polyrhythms). I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how I self-score on RAADS, but that is a topic for another day's discussion. In the meantime, here's another example that tickles my lobes. From Clément Belio, here is Chromatic Curtain:

Before they started to focus mostly on children's albums, Trout Fishing in America had a couple of truly great albums for grownups, most with hilarious lyrics. Here is Lost in Her Lips from the Truth is Stranger than Fishin' CD.

If you are into computing, tech, programming, philosophy, quantum effects, science fiction or are just generally geeky (like me), you'd probably really enjoy the FX series Devs. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend. It's one of those shows I still think about, many months after watching it. Here is Amaya Corporation by Ben Salisbury (from the Devs soundtrack)

and now a segue to One Hand Killing by Twelve Foot Ninja (that transition at around 1:55 gets me head boppin' every time)

The first instrument I learned to play was trumpet, and I discovered Maynard Ferguson early on. All of us in band idolized him and his upper register. We went to his concerts, bought his albums. At that age, it was all about trying to hit those high notes. But later I discovered a guy that put old Maynard to shame. Not only high notes, but control. Finesse. Rock.
So here is (Bill) Chase with Get It On.

A song from one of my favorite bands to start the new year with some energy.
Love and pain, engage your senses
And let them carve the way
Give me focus
Sharpen my view - Initiate
Live here and now
And forever or never
Here is Initiate by Haken

Something relaxing for New Year's day - a lot of us probably need it. But tomorrow, something more... metallic. Here is Popsicle Toes by Michael Franks.

Since it's the last day of 2022, I thought I'd choose just one of my previous daily picks to share again. If you've never watched this video, here's your chance to witness the genius of Tigran Hamyasan. This performance still gives me chills at certain points when I listen to it. Happy New Year!

First saw this guy on one of the all-time best comedies (The IT Crowd). I still can't see him without picturing the character he played on that show, but here is the catchy, breezy tune Medicine by Matt Berry.

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do
At the top is stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing
In any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old

I have a playlist called "Songs I Pulled Over For". It contains songs heard while driving that were so amazing, I had to pull over to devote full attention. Yesterday @yadayadayada shared a song that brought one of them back to memory.
When she lets loose, her voice is like warm honey, poured over black velvet. I love her voice. So does Leonard Cohen. Here is Perla Batalla singing Kindness. Luxuriate!
