Pretenders - Waste Not Want Not

[link] The masterful yet simple rhythm section riffs the Pretenders used are second to none in how good they sound. And the chorus of this song is something absolutely heavenly.

Harmonica

I bought a cheap set of harmonicas a year or two ago but never did anything with them.  Got them out yesterday and messed around with them (in a holder; I don't know what you call those things that go around your neck) while playing uke.  I probably won't ever be able to do much more on one than breath in and out and modulate it up and down a little bit, but it was pretty fun and adds a bit of depth to a jam.

A Sunny Day in Glascow - 5:15 Train

[link] This is an intensely atmospheric deconstruction of a swath of new-wavish 2 chord progression rock through a Cocteau Twinsy filter and a few layers of translucent and aging plastic.  It should smell like old burlap or ozone or something.

Maps - You Don't Know Her Name

[link] The chorus of this song is a dream pop anthem. Creepy gothy video. All around, a very substantial musical and conceptual statement.

Mahogany - Supervitesse

[link] This is # 11 on the list I linked below. Upbeat and just about cheerful. The sweet site of nu-gaze. Harks back to a lot of late 70s - early 80s postpunk.

Found a great Nu-Gaze list

When to play Hearthstone

I'm finding that I can't play Hearthstone when there are any distractions.  I need to think and concentrate on it. Which means late night is basically the only time I can do it.  It's interesting that Hearthstone is in the genre of card games like Magic: the Gathering.  All the physical versions of these games require that at least two people get together.  So, a minimum level of sociality.  Hearthstone can be played by complete loners (and probably is a lot).
