Absolutely, it's still ongoing! The PBS doc was more my introduction to earlier folk music. I think I'd seen "A Mighty Wind" movie prior to watching the doc, so it provided a fun context to appreciate the "new" older artists in the doc, along w/ a style of music I might've scoffed at in my teens.

We're good then.๐Ÿ™‚

I almost went the other end of the spectrum by choosing The New Christy Minstrels song "Today". I've long been into folk music, but a PBS "Folk Rewind" special had me discovering earlier acts I either didn't know at all or never sampled. Now *that* would've been an era.

@dragoninn3.bsky.social write incredibly catchy songs. From their sophomore album, another track well worth checking out (check out the whole album while you're at it!). If memory serves, this song found its way onto a popular video game soundtrack.

Great catch!๐Ÿ˜„The band is deliberate in staying true to an 80s aesthetic.

I was addicted to this album for quite a stretch. The band are really nice people, too. I've had several pleasant chats with them online.

Did I confuse "era" with "genre"? I think I just did!

This is another of my "I won't tell if you won't" moments. Expect more.

Day 8: Song that made you explore an era of music

I'd been searching for 80s-inspired music, w/ a twist (new, but familiar). I chanced on this song in 2018. A gateway to modern synth pop, it helped me find some of my now favorite bands.

The title feels familiar, but that's the extent of my knowledge. In the video, I thought the camera lingered often on the keyboardist. That's Leon! He looks a bit like Jason Momoa in this clip.๐Ÿ˜„

Fab pick, Johnny! I know the really obvious Joe Cocker songs. This is a new one for me. I like it!

Day 7: A song with a unique voice

A random YT comment described Finn as having "the voice of an angel". While I do not share this opinion, I think he writes fun, lo-fi indie songs. ๐Ÿ‘‡Fun, lo-fi video!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

That's a great one from Norman! I also love "Dark Clouds" & "Shock and Awe" from the same album.

This is a band I *really* need to revisit. I listened to some of their early stuff (e.g., I have a song of theirs on my iPod Classic), and moved on. A friend of mine always raved about them. Another band on my to-do list.

Thanks for the video. I'll be listening!

This song was a grower for me. Not having a chorus or bridge initially turned me off. Then I caught myself humming it aloud. It became my favorite track on the album.๐Ÿ˜„
