Today’s selection for The Monday Rotation holds a special place in my music catalog as it is my reading/thinking/writing/chilling go-to music. “Explosions in the Sky” is an instrumental rock band from Texas that I discovered 5-6 years ago. Yes, instrumental rock, no vocals, which is a major turn-off to many people but as pure music it [...]
While I was searching for Radiohead tickets a few years ago I stumbled onto a video made by a die-hard fan looking for tickets to a Thom York show in San Francisco.
