I LOVE Attack on Titan (manga/anime series). And this live performance is insanely good, gives me chills. In fact, all of the Sawano Hiroyuki live performance from Shanghai as well.

I'm surprised how much I like Camilo Cabello's new album. Some great tunes and vocals.

Natalie Merchant.
Oh, yah. Her too. :)

We saw her live this past summer in Bethlehem, NH (a small and pleasant little theatre; a favorite venue of ours that used to be a dirty movie theater, apparently) on a very warm, early-summer evening. Just "Miss Merchant" and a guitarist. She was great, and much less aloof and restrained than I was expecting. She was a complete, unalloyed joy -- and she ended the evening with Kind and Generous, with the last words (thank you, thank you...) belonging to the audience (a la the Dead and Not Fade Away).

Two other thoughts :p

1) you can have your Junkies and your Natalie Merchant, too!

2) IF you've never seen the Jennys live, I highly recommend them. Every time we've seen 'em (which is quite a few, at this point), they end their show by singing The Parting Glass really, truly acapella -- they step away from the mics to the front of the stage and just sing to the audience. Just lung power... and it's always spine-tingling.

(that's the studio recording)

I've been a Judy Collins fan for over 50 years. I love this duet with Jeff Bridges, she still has a fabulous voice despite her age.

One of my favourite singers. No filler on the album and it is well recorded.
