I just discovered the song “Unnatural Selection” by Muse. It is simultaneously awesome and ridiculous in a Bohemian Rhapsody kind of way. I’m not sure if that was the intention, but when I put this song on and headbang and sing along, my kids laugh hysterically. ---

Tame Impala’s “Lonerism” album has been stuck in my head for weeks, possibly because I haven’t stopped listening to it. I am however cutting it from time to time with some Nick Cave. ---

I’ve been listening to White Lies’ new album a lot the last couple weeks. I especially like [“Be Your Man”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z17K7Zsr5I). I’ve also started getting into Crystal Castles on a friend’s advice. So far, I think my favourite song of theirs is [“Not in Love”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_WvRQCu_ak). ---

Not something new, but I’ve long been a casual fan and admirer of [_Buckethead_](http://www.musicbanter.com/attachments/prog-psychedelic-rock/2763d1211050598-buckethead-070221_buckethead.jpg)’s extremely prodigious solo, collabo and side-project works. But it’s only recently that I discovered what wonderful background music it all makes, being that most all of it is instrumental - electric guitar(s) and drums. It also helps a lot that he’s produced _several metric shit-tons_ of output, which is conveniently available in vast quantities through various youtube playlists and such. So, I guess it’s sort of been my default soundtrack of day-to-day life recently, with something always available to fit any mood or activity. It would be quite an undertaking to describe his work for those unfamiliar, because there’s just _so_ much and it’s all \*so \*different, so I’m going the lazy way and just throwing up some links to a handful of albums, somewhat arranged in a spectrum to demonstrate the range, roughly starting from [slow](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaHpM6GEwIg) / [relaxing](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp0a4qM8rhE), [gradually picking up](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=henw06jOo48), on to [something funky](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7xYtyJGQHU), then [building up](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0pmdHScPfE&list=PLE9FF9091B017C05F) (give it a bit) from there, all the way to [fast](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF0C_RQMDpc) / [hard](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G39ztlRZaqg) / [grinding](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIErR1GI95A) and finally on to [just plain weird](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPInBQ14L6I) and [out there](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja_NiS3XoMg). Each link is an album, so you can skip around within each as desired to get the gist, and if the first link isn’t your speed/puts you to sleep, then at least click a link towards the middle then towards the end to get a little taste of something different. And again, the dude puts out recordings of some sort like every five minutes, so this sampling still \*barely \*scratches the surface. I’ve had him on heavy rotation for a while now, and I still haven’t had to listen to the same thing twice. ---

Pretty much going in opposite directions: Wallowing in '80’s fabulousness with Divinyls ([_Only Lonely_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73mx10GmFsU), for example) …and smoothin’ on down via the ethereal harmonies of Lily and Madeleine (here’s a taste of [_Sounds Like Somewhere_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j04v1PRMJT8)). ---
