I've been completely obsessed with Caroline Polachek ever since I stumbled upon this Tiny Desk performance a few months ago. It's not even a genre that I usually listen to. I don't if it should be called Avant-pop? I've probably watched this 25+ times, seriously. The band is super tight and great as well.

Caroline's voice is quite the instrument. Her lyrical phrasing and vocal rhythms give me Michael Jackson vibes at times. I've listened to her two solo albums...this is an artist/songwriter that is completely unchained by norms and has the confidence to go in so many different directions. Also the production and sound engineering is impeccable.

She's had a successful career and worked with people like Charli XCX and Grimes. I think her trajectory is still going up. But in a previous era, I think she'd be one of the biggest musical artists in the world.

I saw one of Chairlift’s final shows, at The Mohawk in 2017. Good times.

She does a thing I predicted 25 years ago when AutoTune started to rear its ugly head.  The tuned sound of bad vocals would eventually become a style that good singers emulated.  Some of her intervals are insanely chromatic.  It shows skill, sure, but it's not very musical.  It's not very human.  The weird thing is that she doesn't always do it . . . some of her pitches are definitely off, but those jumps can be dead on.

Can't link a single song without feeling bad about not listing the rest.  Interpretation: I'm watching the Billy Joel 100th MSG Performance on CBS.  Saw him 3 times in the 90s.  Dude was a damned hit-maker.

Replying to my own post to ask who the fuck is mark McDonald

Wow.  Billy on organ, Bonnie rockin' the terrible haircut, GE Smith, T-bone, that's a lineup!

EDIT:  I'm pretty sure Daryl did everyone's coke.

I saw the Becoming Led Zeppelin movie last night, so in honor, the 1977 show they did at The Summit in Houston. Sorry, but audio only unfortunately. 
 

I was there. 48 Years Ago in May. Wow.
