I love this thread and I’m discovering so much new stuff to dig in to from everyone’s lists.
@xtcclassic Really enjoyed your list and of course I had to find and listen to Tilts. Damn fine rock n roll! Thanks giving me some new music to enjoy. Tame Impala too. My list has become “lists”. Tough to narrow it down

When the mood strikes me, Tame Impala us a great listen

1 - stealth arcs
2 - lined rear pockets
3 - crispy

Glad you enjoyed them!

Oh, another honourable mention…...
Greta Van Fleet - Anthem of the Peaceful Army
BUT, embarrassing admission, when @Alex put this on in the office, I said "wow, I love her voice"….
I got my coat......
Never heard this before but it sounds fantastic! Good recommendation!
Can't fault you for thinking it was a woman LOL!

Whoever said Tool, fuck yeah. Never listened to them before, but they are so far up my alley, all you can see is the sols of their feet….
Enjoy

They don't make better bands. Tool is a rabbit hole. Who else is writing the Fibonacci sequence into their songs?
-
@Giles wow you have quite a daunting but amazing rabbit hole ahead of you, as others have mentioned. Their music is so dense and complex that you can listen to one of their songs for the hundredth time and still catch something new, but at the same time it’s very listenable and not overwhelming in its complexity. Such a great band.

@jerkules yeah Danny’s an absolute monster
-
I remember at a Tool show once Danny did a fill that made my friends and I just look at each other slack-jawed. Great skill, and his creativity is monumental too.

Einstein's Dreams is great @SKT ; Alan Lightman fairly recently released another book, but I've not read it.
EDIT: And I think it's been discussed here, but Larry McMurtry's son James is an amazing singer-songwriter.

@mclaincausey Einstein’s Dreams…I read it not long ago and was just blown away by the combination of prose/poetry/physics and the nature of time. I really loved it.
A lot of people know the movie “Winter’s Bone” based off Woodrell’s novel, which launched Jennifer Lawrence’s career. The book is fantastic and set pretty close to where I live now and where I grew up. There is a great Anthony Bourdain episode where he goes gigging for fish with Woodrell on some backwoods river in the Ozarks. And absolutely yes to James McMurtry…one of my songwriting heroes. His “Childish Things” record is a favorite
