> [@wguy123](#): > > 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. I know this isn’t for everyone, but good god! KEXP is the best channel on YouTube, and Cheryl Waters (and the rest of them) are fantastic. I don’t understand how they produce the quality and quantity they do, but god bless 'em for all that and the diversity of what they find. And I have found SO many bands through them. My only complaint (and not their fault) is every time I see a band I’m interested in, it turns out they’re on an east–\>west tour and just left my area. I enjoyed the linked video, that was manic. ---

I agree with everything you say about KEXP. Their videos are top notch and the sound is amazing. This latest is part of a fund raiser so I contributed. Manic is a good way to describe it. I have no idea how they pull that off. That looper control is unbelievable. ---

I use to read the Dope every day. For the past couple of years, it has been reduced to an hour every Friday afternoon. While listening to the Hearts of Space weekly program. (I like to think of it as space cadet music.) Almost every week, I find one or two songs worth exploring further which often lead to other interesting works. Which lead me to a most fortuitous discovery: Hania Rani. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EmOcsAIIx1Q/maxresdefault.jpg "hania rani - esja") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmOcsAIIx1Q) ---

I’ve been listening to quite a few songs on TikTok. This is one I can’t get out of my head. The singer is an absolute doll. https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7606360253583674638 ---

I’m listening to my favorite genre of music to work to, EDM DJ mixes. It’s good background music for me. Currently listening to this one from Hernan Cattaneo. He has a weekly show that is consistently excellent if you like this kind of thing.

While out taking my after work walk around the block, I was listening to Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery trade some licks. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-3lVXDNTgMU/maxresdefault.jpg "STEVE HACKETT – Fly On A Windshield (Live in London 2024)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3lVXDNTgMU) ---
