    🎧 Underdubs – Episode 9: What Have We Been Listening To? 🎧

    In this episode, we reconnect after a long hiatus to dive deep into our evolving music listening habits, personal discoveries, and reflections on how technology has reshaped the way we consume music. From classic rock revivals and progressive rock favorites to experimental artists, ECM soundscapes, Bandcamp gems, and even 70s elevator music, this episode explores the full spectrum of our musical explorations. We discuss how family, nostalgia, and curated lists influence our listening, why algorithms can be both helpful and frustrating, and how documenting new finds can reinvigorate the joy of music discovery. Whether you’re into prog rock, fusion, ECM, smooth jazz, psychedelic rock, or independent Bandcamp artists, this episode is packed with recommendations and insightful commentary! 📚 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:41 - In this episode… 2:21 - Personal Listening Habits 9:03 - Pat’s Picks 30:29 - Brian’s Picks 👉 PLAYLISTS and LINKS: 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0uxoTW5j1R4JmRL3o0uFNP?si=18dd9abcb7f34f3b 🎧 YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXimKUwGXTrllbD1GPEg-S8huVjquuUEE&si=-VcKkGAJg1v17_SO 🎧 Bandcamp Links: Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express https://brianauger.bandcamp.com/album/complete-oblivion-the-oblivion-express-box-set ⭐ Tom Penaguin https://amarxe.bandcamp.com/album/tom-penaguin ⭐ Dominic Sanderson https://dominicsanderson.bandcamp.com/album/blazing-revelations ⭐ Tubo de Ensaio https://tubodeensaio.bandcamp.com/album/endofloema-2 ⭐ Neil Ardley – Kaleidoscope of Rainbows: Live ‘75 https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/kaleidoscope-of-rainbows-live-75 👉 Highlights & Key Topics • Changing listening habits and the challenge of staying musically curious • Classic rock revival: The Band Feel, Triumph, and more • Discovering new favorites: The Once and Future Band, Yang, Dominic Sanderson, Tubo de Ensayo • Deep dives into progressive and experimental sounds: Black MIDI, Steve Tibbetts, ECM classics • Rediscovering iconic albums: Gentle Giant Playing the Fool, Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii • The role of nostalgia in shaping our music preferences • The charm of 70s elevator music  • Why Bandcamp remains a treasure trove for independent artists • The endless journey of music discovery _______________________ 🔗 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/underdubs-70s-progressive-rock-and-more/id1739172713 🔗 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@Underdubs.Podcast 🔗 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558305622715 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underdubs.podcast/ Support the show Be sure to like and subscribe to Underdubs!
