Music
Stuff's 1979 album Stuff It features a range of iconic tracks, opening with a strong rolling drum fill, leading into the triumphant horns that open Mighty Love, a track so recognisable and accessible, the listener will find themselves able to hum along to the melodies in under a minute of first listening.
The Appestat-O-Meter is both an instrument of measurement, as well as a lovingly gathered collection of tracks from a range of artists described by the site author as 'Vulf-Adjacent'. The list contains music by Vulfpeck collaborators, friends of friends, stylistic cousins, and key tracks by the band. This list has a vast array of moods, and is best played when the listener feels explorative.
Best observed through Spotify's Shuffle feature, this collection of 120-something songs (and counting) pander to one of the author's many soft sides. With track themes ranging from melancholic longing, to lyricless representations of pure joy, the author hopes that should anyone listen to any song on the list, they find one that connects with them.
Down to Funk is a growing list of funky songs the author of the site enjoys. Many of these were discovered while scrolling through suggested artist and songs. This playlist encourages exploration of the genre and welcomes suggestions on which songs or artists to include. The playlist does try to avoid an unfair surplus of Vulf tracks.
Dandys / DanDon'ts is a shortlist of the author's exploration of the Dandy Warhols. While, like many, this exploration began with Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, exploring more than just the artist's most famous album is always a good idea. Welcome To The Monkey House and Earth To The Dandy Warhols are also excellent albums.
They're crunchy. I don't know how else to describe them. They crunch.
