I love bluegrass and I love a good cover

Spiritualized – The Mainline Song
When I was younger I was always talking to the older guys to get turned onto music I hadn't heard before. Sometimes the suggestions spoke to me, sometimes they didn't. I don't know if that you just cant understand bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, or Spiritualized when you are 23 or if I just didn't yet know how to appreciate the subtle melodies. Either way, sorry it took me so long Snackboy and Coach. Those bands all rule. Spiritualized is still putting out great stuff to this day as shown below.

Cloud Cult – One Way Out Of A Hole
Couldn't find a decent live version. Meh.
Otoboke Beaver – I Checked Your Cellphone (携帯みてしまいました)
Still love these guys.
Bob Moses – Love Brand New
Silvana Estrada – Ser De Ti
I don’t speak Spanish. I listened to more music sung in Spanish this year than in English. (A heavy percentage of the music I listen to is instrumental, but still.) Estrada released her debut solo album and a follow-up EP in 2022, and since many of the other artists I enjoy must have record contacts that prohibit embedded video from their personal accounts, she gets the nod.
Superchunk – Endless Summer
Superchunk still puttling out great stuff. I should had this on the Summer list for obvious reasons.
Drugdealer – Valentine
From the album Hiding in Plain Sight, I think "Valentine" best represents Drugdealer's album as a whole, an easy breezy listen chock full of hooks interlaced with a steel guitar. Easily my favorite album of the 2022.
Brian Eno – We Let It In
Since I already posted videos earlier in the year of my first two 2022 choices (Porcupine Tree "Harridan" and Brian Eno "There Were Bells"), I'm posting my third choice, which is another beautiful track from Eno's climate-conscious new CD FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE.
