Doves:

  1. Kingdom of Rust
  2. 10:03
  3. Compulsion
  4. Push Me On
  5. Here it Comes
  6. The Man Who Told Everything
  7. The Cedar Room
  8. Valley
  9. Almost Forgot Myself
  10. Snowden
  11. Sky Starts Falling
  12. There Goes The Fear
  13. Pounding
  14. Caught By The River

The Boxer Rebellion:

  1. Diamonds
  2. Always
  3. Caught By The Light
  4. Flashing Red Light Means Go
  5. Soviets

Beach House:

  1. Everything from their Album "Bloom", but especially Myth, Lazuli, Other People, Wishes

Real Estate:

  1. Everything on their latest album "Atlas"

The Zolas:

  1. Ancient Mars
  2. Cab Driver

Jets Overhead:

  1. This Way
  2. No Nations
  3. I Should be Born
  4. Tired of the Comfort
  5. Seems So Far

Just a sampling.  I'll post more from the other bands later.  You should remember, though, these aren't pop bands who typically produce an album with 1 or 2 good songs that are released as singles, and the rest of the album is lame.  These bands have whole albums that I can easily listen to over and over.  The new Charlatans album, "Modern Nature" is a perfect example.  It's just brilliant!

i am not a big fan of indie rock much, i listen to lounge and electronic music, as well as mostly non english speaking music (folk, rock, ska punk, jazz, triphop)

 

i tried the 2 The Zolas tracks, as that is the only band you gave only 2 recommendations from.

i can see myself enjoying them as background music while doing stuff.  seem very pleasing to the ears.

 

i will have to check the rest later

Yes, I just discovered them!  Very good; for right now, it's the only way to get my new 'Doves' fix.

Finally around to listening to this.

 

Liked Doves, Box car rebellion and beach house, Zolas and jet over head, are ok, just a bit too mellowish for me

    • Briefly used Turbo Pascal (and Turbo C++) in 97 and soon after that I bought PC magazine that included a full version of Delphi 2. I still use Delphi today, some 29 years later.
    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
