Misplaced review

I understand that the posts I do about music don’t often hit everyone’s spot.
That’s ok. I get it.

But this one might be different if you’re willing to do a bit of looking through this Youtube or Spotify catalogue.

I spotted this on Instagram, of all places. And the caption was:

I listened to this, and so now you have to.

And I get that different people have different opinions on things (see above), and that’s (mostly) ok, but wow.

For me, this is really, really beautiful.

The ending. Goosebumps.

I thought that I’d shared something from PMJ on here before, but if I did, I can’t find it.

Maybe I thought I should, and then something important happened.

Sorry.

Postmodern Jukebox, also known as Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, is a rotating musical collective founded by New York based pianist Scott Bradlee in 2011. Postmodern Jukebox is known for reworking popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz.

It’s important to understand that not everything makes sense when converted to 20’s and 30’s jazz. But when it does… it really does. Habits works. Black Hole Sun works. The Smiths in country style – amazingly – works. Creep is – of course – hypnotisingly beautiful.

The huge range of artists they cover, the varying sets and costumes, the occasional monochrome, the special guest artists on each track, the different genres employed. It all adds to a pretty cool listening and viewing experience.

There’s even one for the TA (if he’s got this far!)*.

Give it a go.
