Ruston Kelly’s Pale, Through the Window is out too.
I have not heard the story behind why this song is called “Pickleball”:

This is just beautiful. Her soft voice, the words and the tinkling of the piano. Thank you for posting.

Yeah this is a great song but what on earth is the connection with the pickleball being played behind him in the video?? Maybe he’s just a funny (as in funny haha) guy 
? Or maybe the girl he’s singing about played pickleball a lot?

I did a search and apparently it’s this! His girlfriend asked him to play pickleball as their first date.

It must be a control thing you know? 
When you have no control over anything else where do you go? The only thing you really have control over is yourself and so this is one way of exercising that control but it’s awful, terrible isn’t it that it should come to this? It makes me so unhappy 
. The only place I can find solace is in music e.g. REM Everybody Hurts, Radiohead You Do It To Yourself etc 
I’m freaking out here because I’ve got surgery coming and the idea of someone cutting my body open with a knife while I’m asleep is well, terrifying. The only thing that is getting me through it is the knowledge that my Mum went through it too and survived, and, of course, the support of wonderful friends and relations- I’m very lucky in that respect. And then of course there’s music (poetry set to music- pop, rock etc as well as classical) to turn to…..Thank Goodness For That!

Chris Thile recorded an album of mandolin arrangements of 3/6 JS Bach solo violin sonatas and partitas many years ago.
Just a few weeks ago he released a “volume 2” album containing the other three. It’s quite amazing. The music is fantastic of course, but Chris’s mandolin arrangements really take them in a new direction. (Mandolin and violin have the same tuning, so the actual notes are the same, but of course the techniques of mandolin playing and violin playing are entirely different.)
Here’s a video of Chris playing one of the movements from the new album:

Couple new ones from Fancy Gap. Per this interview with Stu and Charles from the band they’re shooting for next summer for the release of their second album. This video, comprised of home made footage from Stu and Charles, is particularly poignant, especially the shoutout to the late and dearly beloved Reese McHenry at the 2:09 mark. More on the making of the “Gold Coast” video here.

I don’t know, I may be wrong, I think that I can hear a little bit of ¨everybody hurts¨ in the background of this song

“I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free”
- Bruce Springsteen

From Emily Scott Robinson’s new album Appalachia which came out yesterday. Oxford American magazine put her on my radar in 2021 with the CD sampler that came with their annual Southern Music issue. Props to R.E.M. for leading me to them back in 1998 when an alternate version of “Why Not Smile?” made the cut for that year’s Southern Music sampler.

Tik Tok is good for something beyond the usual bullshit on occasion. Example: this song and band thanks to Sub Pop’s account. It’s from their new album, Hoopla which is out May 1st.
