This day topped the steaming pile of festering days I’ve navigated for quite some time. I could use some musical reasons to plod through the next couple of obstacle-course saturations on my plate. The more the better. Please. ---

Rats. Lost the post I was composing. I do love Paul Simon. I love Jack White, The Black Keys, REM, The Band, Eric Clapton, Cake, Otis Redding, Elvis Costello. I love a good pop song. I don’t have to be inspired. I would just love some distraction. I’ve been exposed to so many bands through the SDMB by listening and reading every music thread. Not so crazy about country music. Send me anything and everything and I will be grateful. ---

My music listening tends not to be the happy upbeat stuff, but here’s what I’ve had recently… [Пикник](https://www.youtube.com/user/piknikband), a Russian band that I looked up after they were mentioned in a Russian novel I’m reading at the moment. Good for listening to when I’m reading the book, but a bit distracting because I pick up maybe one word out of fifty. I’m currently working my way through this piano arrangement of “[The Ecstasy of Gold.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLv7E847B6g)” I’m currently working on mastering the fourth measure. 😃 If you want a neat game trailer with your music, here’s the trailer for [CP2077](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWOEFkauoYY). The actual song is [Bullets](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6nbFZtxAL4), by Archive. A piano medley of [Kid Icarus music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y46wCWy1PGA), from the original NES game. ---
