[Gary Clark Jr. - MAKTUB (Official Music Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mMyUEqOB6I) Heard it on The Current yesterday and it is my new jam. ---

Evan+Juliana is definitely one of my 90s happy places. Throw J into the mix and it’s even better. ---

I’ve been listening to a lot of jazz lately. I was experimenting at work with mellow music to keep the dogs calm and I called up a Bebop Classics playlist on Spotify. Jazz to me is a lot like baseball. I like to listen to it (watch it) I just don’t know much about the players. However, I’ve found myself drawn to John Coltrane, Chet Baker, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon. So far Charlie Parker and Miles Davis don’t really do it for me. ---

MAKTUB, the band and Gary Clark jr.'s song title are completely unrelated. Apparently the word means, “It is written” in Arabic and is how they talk about fate or destiny. Huh. Will check out the band now. ---

I’m at work right now, and in my head I’m listening to Jonathan Coulton singing _Famous Blue Raincoat_. When I drive home in half an hour, it’ll be the SDMB’s Christmas playlist on Spotify. ---

Currently listening to “The Next Messiah” off Jenny Lewis, _Acid Tongue_. It’s a long rambling song that changes styles multiple times and each time I’m reminded of Lewis saying it took a million tries to record without anyone screwing up and having to start over. Testament to the human spirit. ---

I didn’t know where else to put this, so here it goes. I have a few YT channels I subscribe to for live music, with KEXP and Tiny Desk Concerts being the top two. I enjoy some good avant-garde “math rock” & grindcore music (love the Clown Core honey bucket and car videos), but this new KEXP video blows my mind.
