at the suggestion of @ted (who is a delightful mutual, and shares a great mix of food/music/#boston/tech, give him a follow!) - its a first listen to a band new to me, Future of the Left,
Travels with Myself and Another (2009)

Continuing on DJ-ing my own #birthday, revisiting #GogolBordello - Super Taranta! (2007) for some #Romani #punk

I saw them in 2016 when they came through Boston, and, stars, if you've ever got a chance to see this band - GO -they're a riot live. Touring California next month, then Europe, and in New Jersey for a festival in September (maybe we'll get an East Coast leg of the tour this fall)

birthday dj-ing continues with a revisit to the joyful gem of #NoWave #DancePunk classic #LizzyMercierDescloux - Mamba Nassau (1981)

French singer, South African vibes, mostly recorded in Bahamas. Love it. Pity we lost her 20 years ago, far too young. Listening to the remastered version for the first time, extra tracks, sounds great!

Birthday DJ-ing got slightly interrupted by a call from family, where I was mid #Alvvays s/t 2014 album. Love 'Marry Me Archie' dearly, highly recommend. #IndiePop/#JanglePop, female vocals, lots of #MagneticFields and #TeenageFanclub influences in this debut from the #Canadian group.

Now up is a new-to-me but has-a-bunch-of-albums-already record from Canadian indie-rocker/composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist #RichAucoin - as recommended by friend @Apiary (an excellent follow! Snark, tech, fabric, Massachusetts, etc).

Listening to Synthetic Season 1 (2022) - which is a very synthesizer forward, no-vocals, movie-soundtracky first disc of...(checks notes) a quadruple album being released 1 disc every 6 months? #DaftPunk #Tron soundtrack, #chiptune/#videogame music/#synthwave/#BladeRunner all going on here. Good coding music.

Birthday-tune-sharing continues with #FishInABirdcage, a prolific cellist/vocalist with some Renaissance/electronica going on, as recommended by @4sphere - He's got a couple albums, but I did a tasting menu of top tracks as recommended by Spotify.

Try this one:

Next up in DJ-ing-myself-into-some-new-music-recommendations-for-my-birthday is #OperationIvy, treasured #SkaPunk band with Energy from 1989. I may have spent more time listening to this album than the band was together.

Pity that Spotty-fy doesn't include the full record, half the tracks are skipped? Ugh.

Anyway, I love this nonsense, truly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABbp6AoMCik

#Happy420 #birthday dj'ing continues, with new-to-me 2016's The Divine Feminine by #pittsburgh treasure #MacMiller, based on a recommendation by a not-yet-fediverse'd friend, who suggested starting with Dang!, track immediately got me head nodding.

Features #andersonPaak whose albums I've enjoyed. Good single!
