Yoko Miwa Trio - Songs of joy. A recent discovery.

I take it those are Chicago local Papus79? Also, that Big Bud song was nice and chill.

Noticing I drop a bunch of sad girl songs here, probably because a bunch are on my research & chill list

Yep, footwork was spawned in Chicago, Rashad and Traxman were/are a couple of the better known purveyors of the genre (RIP Rashad).

I'd never heard of them, so I looked them up on AllMusic.

Liquid Tension Experiment Review

by Ross Boissoneau

This is the second of Magna Carta's one-time-only groupings and the second to feature bassist Tony Levin. Fortunately for all concerned, it's light years beyond Black Light Syndrome, which paired Levin with guitarist Steve Stevens and drummer Terry Bozzio in an ill-conceived and poorly executed set of improvisations. There is one such impromptu excursion here, the concluding 28-minute "Three Minute Warning," but even it holds up favorably by comparison. But it's the rest of the tunes here that showcase the versatility of Dream Theater members John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy and Dregs keyboardist Jordan Rudess. They fit the fusion/prog rock tag, with plenty of chopsmanship on display, but also with some allegiance to melody and restraint. Not likely to get any radio play, but then that wasn't the point of the session.

Bozzio drummed for Zappa, which means he was pretty bloody good; Zappa wouldn't tolerate any musicians but the best. And Tony Levin has played with the demi-god Fripp, so he is automatically superior. I must check them out (but not on YouTube, of course).

I go through this thread a lot when going to bed (I usually listen to a playlist on my echo dot but it’s broken right now so I’m using a bluetooth speaker).

Sometimes I wonder if Stendahl syndrome comes on a spectrum or something because I cry way too much because of music just because I like it. Like even if the song is sad I’m not crying because it’s sad (usually), I’m crying because it’s beautiful, and I feel vulnerable.

This has been your moment of vulnerability with Cat lmao. Signing off! Goodnight all

I've noticed, for me at least, music will hit me twice as hard if I had to work after being up overnight (initiatic/magical rituals work the same as well - I had a particular AMORC lodge initiation under one of those conditions). A lot of times at that point I can tear up just thinking about the right songs, beats, etc.. My guess is that there's a kind of shielding that stops us from having the raw 'math' of it hit us in its entirely. Really a lot of our gray matter seems like it's there for inhibitory purposes (sort of a dynamic tension that holds things stable).
