Kentucky‘s veteran rockers MY MORNING JACKET had a Christmas longplayer out last
year with Happy Holiday! and with their 2021 self-titled album their 9th proper one.
Now they shared a new track, named AREN’T WE ONE?
Jim James (vocalist/guitarist): “Music is the invisible architecture holding up the entire universe. Music is the great reminder that life, despite its challenges, still brims with so much beauty. Music connects us back to the source — the heartbeat of existence, the force of love that binds us all, that boundless ocean of cosmic energy.
In these times of great confusion and shifting energies, let us remember love, equality, and unity. Let us move past the divide-and-conquer mentality holding us back and come together to uplift one another and heal our planet. A rainbow is the greatest example we have of this in life, where all of the diverse colors come together to form something much greater than they ever could have done on their own. No matter what walk of life one may stroll — who doesn’t enjoy the majesty of a rainbow out in nature?! We are all part of that great ever-changing living rainbow called life.
Let us act with compassion and listen to the heartbeat of the universe, the voice of conscience within our souls, guiding us towards peace, reminding us that we are all one… all part of the same love.
Please help support organizations like @doctorswithoutborders,
@amnesty, @glbctzn, and others fighting for a better world.

Former Pink Floyd guitar hero DAVID GILMOUR (aged 78 now) has released his 5th solo LP, titled LUCKY AND STRANGE. He can’t or doesn’t want to hide that he was a key Pink Floyd member, musically and vocally. If ever (read: never) PF would reunite, Gilmour can offer a lot of his solo material as (new) Pink Floyd songs.
MOJO: “It’s brilliant, moving stuff, and if this were to be David Gilmour’s final record, it’s certainly the best of his solo career. Nonetheless, he has said he’s keen to get on with another album with the same team as soon as humanly possible. His ultimate realisation appears to be, as Dylan put it on Time Out Of Mind at the relatively sprightly age of 56, that it’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there.” Score: 4/5.

Soul giant STEVIE WONDER (aged 74) has a new song out, named CAN WE FIX OUR NATION’S BROKEN HEART, clearly referencing to the division of the United States as
we know it.
Musically it’s old skool Motown, lyrically an open question
regarding America’s broken heart cause by fucking Trump
and his MAGA cult.

Led Zep hero ROBERT PLANT and American bluegrass-country and fiddler artist ALISON KRAUSS worked together for the first time on their collaborative album Raisng Sand from 2007. Three years ago they released a 2nd one, titled Raise The Roof.
They toured in between and are right now playing shows again in Northern America.
For the occasion, they recorded a live version of WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, which
is part of their live set from 2007 on.
It’s a song from 1929 performed for the first time
by Mephis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy.
It was covered multiple times afterward, and it was actually Led Zeppelin who
made the song famous with their 1971 cover that was part of Led Zeppelin IV.
