@finelytunedsou1 @bradluttrell Agreed. His old band State Champion is a bands band.

@Keith3 @bradluttrell Ryan Davis album easily in my top 5 for year. How had I not heard of this guy

You're a real one, @Loon_Rebel5. I am so thankful I got to see your amazing career in the Bay. Good Luck in NOLA. You will be missed.

@bradluttrell 1. Sam Fender (will be my ABOTY) 2. Turnpike 3. Ben Kweller’s “Cover the Mirrors” (man, such a beautiful and tragic album)

Alright, we're halfway through the year. What are your top 3 albums dropped so far in 2025?

@jaywash My man! Congrats bro

“Bet.” - God | #WWDC25 🤯

@bradluttrell Surprised this album isn’t celebrated like an old Truckers album.

He's from Slaughters Kentucky which explains alot because all he does is slay. Chris Knight // A Pretty Good Guy // 2001

@bradluttrell David is criminally underrated. One of the best in the game imho.

This is one of my favorite jams to drop this year. Moved to the top side of my 2025 Songs to Know playlist.

@bradluttrell Without a doubt, Stephen Wilson Jr.’s Son of Dad changed the game.

What do yall got?

@blumenfeld How many Luka milks?

I hope the Laker fans don’t boo Luka Doncic— it’s not his fault we traded Anthony Davis!

I want to be blown away by an album. Hit me with an album or artist recommendation who blew you away when you first heard them.

@bradluttrell Some good ones in there. Did you ever read James Clear’s Atomic Habits? It’s pretty foundational in everything I do now.

LOL the variety here is comical. Just try to get a feel for me by looking at my titles: Man who is into beach music but also wanted to build a SaaS company but apparently switched to a consulting mindset but also likes really dark murder tales and world war II and vietnam nonfiction. Oh, and looks like he was trying to coach some kids.

I don't know if any of my followers would care, but I read (listened to) 24 books last year. I'm going to share my favorites on LI. Anyone here into books?

@bradluttrell You’re a great dude. Thank you.

Follow along with this year's finds: open.spotify.com/playlist/1DY5O…

I listened to more than 10K songs in 2024, and curated it down to just a few hundred gems in a single playlist. The 2025 playlist has officially been created. 👀 See below to follow on Spotify.

@bradluttrell That’s an amazing guitar! And another model I want. I play a tele deluxe and pro 1 Strat.

@Keith3 Nice. I have had that 1960s reissue Strat for 20 years. Love it. I've had a few other Strats over the years but this is the one I kept.

Guitar friends & Telecaster enthusiasts, I need your help. 🎸 I've always wanted a Telecaster—I'm finally going to buy one. Would like to spend $1,500 or less. I don't know a ton about the various models. A few I've researched: Fender American Performer Telecaster American Professional II Telecaster Vintera '50s Telecaster Pickups I know I don't want humbuckers—I want that authentic Tele sound. What I'm not sure about are the silent pickups I've read about. Any downside? Buying on Reverb I've never bought a guitar on Reverb. Shipping guitars makes me nervous. If anyone has an opinion here, please share. Thanks for any advice!

@bradluttrell That’s the one. Pro 2’s don’t miss. I’m actually going to get the pro 2 Strat this year.

Leaning towards this one fender.com/en-US/electric…

@skeeter13sf @OasisMania @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher My Big Mouth, I hope I think I know, Stand By Me.

What are the best three tracks on Oasis' 'Be Here Now' album?

@bradluttrell The obvious DBT “putting people on the moon”

Gonna drop a playlist of political / election day songs. Americana-alt country ish. Gimme your recs if you wanna add to it. Got a decent start.🇺🇸 Submissions are not a guarantee of admission 😂

@jrw Hit me with that discount code when you figure out his name.

thinking about that one guy from zappos, someone from twitter remind me what his name was i miss him 😔

@bradluttrell Fair enough.

@Keith3 That’s a bold statement. I don’t like much of anything from them so not sure I’ll end up going to them over some of these other groups.

Which would you pick to see at a festival? They all have varying levels of overlap.
