@WillWeatherRVA This is all reminding me how much I hate rollercoasters. Really do appreciate the continuous updates, though.

@WillWeatherRVA We were fortunate to get ours back around 2 AM, but driving around Bon Air and Westover Hills this morning, was amazed at all the brush and the number of snapped branches & limbs just strewn everywhere.

Haven't tweeted here in ages, so this may be screaming into the void, but this new album by @Wickerbird shared on the blog today is really beautiful and I hope more people will take time to listen to it.

VIDEO: "A Crossing Song", a quiet lament that signals the imminent arrival of the long awaited new @Wickerbird album 'The Sea Weaver' out Nov 11 on @losttribesound. Visit the blog to see, hear, and learn more...

@JimDuncanRVA And if you do find one, chances are it will be at an inflated price that would negate any potential savings it would provide over a gas-only model

@asongfortheday Lakes of Canada (The Innocence Mission) - nice list, btw!

[Stationary Travels @STravels]

For your weekend listening, a new mix of vibrant instrumental peregrinations along the boundaries of electroacoustic ambient, jazz, and neoclassical 🎧

Absolutely love what these two very talented musicians have come up with, "Orbit" especially. In fact, I highly recommend checking out all the recent @gondwanarecords releases - Vega Trails, Jasmine Myra, Portico Quartet...they are on a roll right now.

Svaneborg Kardyb's instrumentation set-up is untraditional, with the drums and keys facing each other, a position that they play in on stage just as they do in the kitchen and living room here. https://t.co/pxiB9Wg9sT

@nprmusic Sublime stuff

[Brian Housman @bfhousman]

@JimDuncanRVA Armbrust is worth a look. We've been happy with them.

@PaulLeonardMorg If not already on your radar - Lau (the respective band members' side & solo projects as well) and the olllam

[Brian Housman @bfhousman]

Looking forward to the gradual unfolding of #PianoDay2022 and featuring some highlights soon on @STravels. In the meantime, I am already floored right out of the gate by "Elegy for Spring" by Natalia Tsupryk and the accompanying video by Ewa Smyk 🎧🎹
