The obvious big change for this year in music consumption is the record-breaking number of live shows I attended. This is a combination of pent up desire coming out of the pandemic, plus the fact that virtually every band is on the road trying to make up for lost time. What a year.
My stand-out performance? Baby Bushka, the amazing Kate Bush tribute band. Truly an unforgettable experience for any Kate Bush fan. These people are amazing, treading the same line between magic and camp that Kate herself traveled so well.
Honorable mentions to MEUTE, who I saw twice in a couple of weeks. And also Cassandra Jenkins, my favorite discovery of 2021. Sadly, I missed Julia Jacklin this year, my favorite discovery of 2022. Odesza delivered the biggest spectacle of the year (which is saying something, coming on the heels of The Chemical Brothers at Portola Fest).
The CD remains dead to me, though I did buy PJ Harvey's 3 CD b-sides and rarities collection. And while I decided not to officially count it as yet-another music service, I did sign up this year for Soundiiz, the subscription based playlist syncing service, in order to make my Spotify playlists more useful across my TIDAL, Qobuz, and Roon experiences.
