'3AM' by The Velvet Hands

 

 
 A single released 1st May 2025.

One of those not to give up on. And I nearly until 0.55 into the song.

It takes off and suddenly becomes a great song.

'The Tinman' by World News

 


From the EP by the same name, released on March 30, 2023 (note the year!).

So I take back some comments about Spotify's (very) below average recommendation algorithm, otherwise know as your "Discover Weekly".

Although I must say, the second song on this EP 'Wrapped in Gold', I do remember hearing at some stage.

Back to The Tinman: these guys have some impressive harmonious rhythm guitar work, that just gets better into this song.

'Barefoot' by Jiggyvango

 

 
Released as a single on 10 March 2025.

I give up.

Since late March I have not found any song remotely interesting. And I tried, really searched - lots of crap.

My rule has always been: no interesting new song release=no post.

As it happens, once in a while I listen to Spotify's recommendations, their "Discover Weekly" play list, which is based on what you have listened to, and what the Spotify algorithm thinks you may like.

Six songs into a 30 song list, and this pops up.

Too nostalgically cool to not hit repeat, and a slide guitar sometimes is the best, it really is.
