To Sea – Aurora Sect

20 May 2021

This week is a shameless plug. I’ve been playing with Aurora Sect for a few years and we started getting some momentum with making some new music before the world shut down last year. A handful of songs are getting ready to be released and the first track with me on bass, “To Sea”, came out last week. Check it out and enjoy.

Starless – King Crimson

13 May 2021

After a little break I’m back with a gem from one of my favorite albums. King Crimson changed the way I listen to music and always feels like home when I go back.

Organ Farmer – King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

11 March 2021

I can’t stop listening to this record. There is no fat on it and it has everything I love about music. “Organ Farmer” is just plain rad.

I Fuck Around – Melvins

4 March 2021

I love this band and their new record started off with a laugh I needed this week. A great take a on a classic song.

Never Disappear – Brian Marquis

Brian is a close friend and an amazing singer and songwriter. I’m glad to be able to include him on my playlist and love this record.

Spain – Return To Forever

RIP Chick Corea. A great song from an incredible band.

My World Is Empty Without You – The Supremes

3 February 2021

I grew up listening to a ton of Motown, it’s part of me. The Supremes were one of my earliest memories of a singing group and still a favorite. So, in honor and memory of founding member Mary Wilson this week’s track is “My World Is Empty Without You”. So many of their songs are part of my DNA and this is one I have always loved. Enjoy!

Eyes Of The Mammal – Elbrus

27 January 2021

Elbrus has a great vibe, kind of a mix of folk, 60s blues rock, and modern stoner metal. If you’re a fan of Cream and Black Sabbath you should check them out.

Immutable Dusk – Pelican

19 January 2021

One of the first post rock bands that made me fall in love with the genre was Pelican. This week’s track “Immutable Dusk” came out in 2013 and was an instant favorite. I’ve been diving into some of the music that has inspired me over the last nine years and couldn’t go without sharing this one with you all.

War – Edwin Starr

13 January 2021

This week’s track is “War” by Edwin Starr. He had a handle full of hits and this is one that I’ve always dug and feels totally appropriate with the state of the world. Not only is it a great message but it funks hard and just makes you want to shake it.

Misty Mountain Hop – Led Zeppelin

6 January 2021

This is one of those songs that as I dug deeper into it found so much to chew on and have grown to appreciate as an understated masterpiece. Give it a listen and as usual…turn it up!!!

Danny Gordon
Danny's love affair with music started around the time he could walk. He spent countless hours in front of the record player going through his parents collection and experimented with playing violin, piano, and guitar before finding his voice on the bass in his teens. Danny began playing in local bands in Los Angeles while studying music, eventually landing at Berklee College of Music in 1998. Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland. Danny continues to stay active in the local scene and is a devoted father teaching his children about the music he loves.
