I\u2019ve said it before and it bears repeating: he\u2019s my favorite current-day lyricist, and that\u2019s saying something in a world in which Neil Finn lives. But Peter\u2019s that kind of guy<\/i>, so to speak.<\/p>\n

\nMurray Attaway fronted Guadalcanal Diary, one of my favorite bands from my college years. His long awaited solo album captures that spirit but takes it forward as well.<\/p>\n
\nGladhands were one of the best overlooked powerpop bands of the \u201890s. DB Edmunds was a key player in their creative success, and his solo material is superb as well. Check this out.<\/p>\n
\nRenaissance Man Adrian Younge turns out a lot of material, and it\u2019s all<\/i> top-notch. But this is the most notable of his 2025 projects. (By the by, his Ghostface Killah production from years back, 12 Reasons to Die<\/i> is the subject of one of the best chapters in my new book<\/a>. Just sayin\u2019.)<\/p>\n
\nKeyboard-centric prog from Japan; what\u2019s not to love? Inspired, original music influenced by classical music, Keith Emerson and other impeccable inspirations. Wonderful stuff.<\/p>\n\n
