Would anyone be interested in being part of a New Music Pinglist? I have a "calling" to find new music that hasn't been "discovered" and is ignored by the mainstream music industry. Or, maybe it's forgotten music from yesteryear. Or maybe it's quirky yet innovative. But the connective tissue is that it is music that isn't championed by the mainstream but it SHOULD be, and being a capitalist I'd like to see demand in this realm.
I am not employed in the industry (I'm a Shepard..) and don't make money off this effort. It's simply something in which I strongly believe is needed, lest we descend further into Really Bad Pop.
I'll check with the boss (it's JimRob's platform) but assuming he's ok, I'd do something maybe every week...I'd focus chiefly on releases out of Bandcamp but any platform that isn't some front for Sony et al would work for me.
If anyone wants to add music to the list, please do. Wouldn't it be something if a spike in demand for new music came from GenX (or older) Deplorables?
As a sample of what I've heard lately that gets my toes tapping or makes me think :
Autobahn Outlaws by The Gasölines:punkabilly from Norway. Expect to get 2pts on your license with the tune.
Say Something from Yellow by Emma-Jean Thackray: modern Jazz from the U.K. with some quirks that works
A Funny Discovery from Less Is Endless by De Beren Gieren: minimalist kool Jazz from Belgium
True Believer from Damaged Heart by Scotty Saints and the True Believers: street punk from Maine; I've seen them live and they always deliver
