There's some great stuff in that list! I in particular have been on a Talk Talk kick lately. Such an underappreciated band. The Party's Over is killer from top to bottom.
And Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs is, IMHO, the greatest western album ever recorded. Only thing that comes close is Ennio Morricone's film score work.

I'm really into the soundtrack to Poll Mine, one of the games in Jackbox Party Pack 8, of all things. The low-key Police vibes put me in a pleasantly mellow mood.

Chill. Sounds like a Mac DeMarco cover band.

Glad you like it.
And now, for something completely different: some very good Swedish power metal from Lost Horizon, a short-lived band from the '00s. Daniel Heiman is a heck of a vocalist.

When I become President, this song is going to replace Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the 7th Inning Stretch of all Major League baseball games, with the following additional stipulations:
- The song will be sung not between but during the innings, when the ball is in play, performed live by Viagra Boys frontman Sebastian Murphy.
- If Sebastian happens to get hit with an errant baseball, everyone gets a free tattoo of Sebastian's choice.
- If Sebastian happens to get beaned with an errant baseball, everyone gets a free taco as well as a free tattoo.

New Kendrick Lamar, new Radiohead (kinda), and all I'm listening to is this song:

"Of all the ways to eat a cake, this one surely takes the knife." Love that.

I'm going through album boxsets of music acts that I keep getting at Half-Price Books. Right now I'm enjoying Stone Temple Pilots' first five albums, with the second one being my favorite of the bunch.
