So, here I am, listening to the Cosmos soundtrack and strangely not stoned. And I realize that it's been a while since we've had a random music recommendation thread. What's the musical haps in your worlds, friends?

So first off I want to share the playlist that's been stuck in my head for the last few weeks since I remembered it exists. Baby Got Back Talk, a punk outfit out of NYC, were outraged that an article in Rolling Stone or somewhere about the "philosophers of rock" didn't include any women or non-white people, so they assembled a bunch who they felt should have been featured.

If you prefer your music so-fresh-it's-undercooked, you may also enjoy the podcast Jam Mechanics . Bug from Bug Hunter and Matt from The Narcissist's Cookbook , two aggressively indie singer/songwriters, are prompted to make a song about something and then share the resulting demos ~4 hours later. A few of the songs from the first season have been actually finished into full tracks, but I like hearing the rough cuts and initial reactions because I'm that obnoxious guy.

    It was Jann Wenner, former Rolling Stone owner/editor, who said that he only wanted to write about "philosophers of rock ’n’ roll" for a book he wrote called "The Masters".

    You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.
