My tastes are varied, but everyone has certain sounds they gravitate towards more than others. Most of the time, I’m listening to death metal, bluesy hard rock and doom, or Americana-tinged indie music. But every now then, I like something completely different. Here is some music I like that’s outside my usual wheelhouse.

I usually save up music until I have enough to fill a post on particular themes. But I’m way behind in blogging. I’ve got dozens of drafts and pages of notes of bands I’ve liked but never talked about. And I need to get caught up, at least a little bit. So in no particular order, here is some music I like.

Solitude and art have always gone together. But the past year, even the most extroverted among us [hint: that’s not me] is finding themes of isolation relevant. I added at least three recent releases to various other draft posts before I noticed how often those themes pop up. Lately things have started opening up, but I suspect we’ll have another round of solitude before this whole thing is over. So here’s a whole post of albums to listen to alone.

When I was younger I thought Seattle was the center of the musical world. But I can’t help noticing that most of the bands I saw at concerts in the years leading up to the pandemic were up from Portland. And as I’m putting together these Music I Like posts, which are based mostly on digital discovery and therefore shouldn’t be geographically centered, it still seems like most of the bands are from Portland. So here’s a post all about the music I like from Portland.
