I love these guys so much.

I was feeling happy watching this entire thing. It's the kind of feeling that feels such a relief getting unashamedly let out, because usually I have to keep it bottled up just so I don't have to face how soulless and cynical so much contemporary music seems in comparison. I think what I like about these guys is that they have a kind of reverence for the history of the music that they make, but they're also not just wallowing in it. They're also making new music that, while it knows and taps into its own roots, it also pushes out into new territory & is still part of our age at the same time.
Edit: I was about to say there's only one other band these days that gives me that same feeling, and I'll be damned if they didn't put up a video of their own epic concert in the same week.

What a week for great music!

As every Christmas: Acthung X-mas by Tyskarna från Lund:

It's obviously meant to be taken very, very seriously. The German is also a very good representation of actual German. And if anyone thinks they stole from Kraftwerk, that's wrong, it's of course the other way around.
Edit:
On a perhaps more serious note:
Lately I have mostly been listening to some work in progress, but right now I'm going through all the NPR music I've neglected, for example The Comet Is Coming:

I've listened to The Other Favorites many times since you posted them, Demagogue. They do indeed make me happy. On that note Merry Christmas, everyone.

@dema - thanks for the Vulfpeck - found the live album on Apple Music, great instrumental funk.
Something I came across which is like a collision of Eurythmics and Autechre or a similar sounding artist. I may be making that comparison as she's Scottish like Annie Lennox.

Suddenly remembered the late 90's George Michael video where he's dancing with a bunch of clones of himself and had to google it to make sure I hadn't just imagined the whole thing.

Oh it's real, it's very real, and y'know what, still good. The special effects have held up better than one might've guessed, and the whole thing gets increasingly hypnotic as it goes on. The song itself ain't bad either. Bit of a straightforward cover, but still solid.

I had never heard Rival Sons on the radio till today. Mostly the stations play the same fifty or so songs from the seventies, eighties, and nineties over and over. I like to think my talking them up did it but likely somebody just has good taste after all. It was this one.

I know most here don't like blues as much as me but damn.

The music isn't bad either...
I don't choose to listen to blues on purpose mostly but those girls are amazing.
Also want to know what that lush chord in Dream of the Archer is.
