I've been listening to a lot of classical music while I work. In November, I heard a piano piece by Connor Chee called "Unbroken" that stopped me in my tracks. There isn't a video of that one available, so here's another piece of his.
And just for funsies:
10 cool things that I liked this year in music:
I love bluegrass and I love a good cover
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.

Couldn't find a decent live version. Meh.
Still love these guys.
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 still puttling out great stuff. I should had this on the Summer list for obvious reasons.
