One thing I'm a little bummed about lately is that I'm not really listening to anything. I mean, I'm listening to music generally quite a bit, probably at least 75% 2019 new releases, but also the old favorites, activity-appropriate music (e.g., instrumental music if I'm reading before my brain gets confused in the middle of wrestling words) and whatever comes up on shuffle.
But apart from my beloved Weyes Blood "Everyday," there's nothing new or old at the moment that's really on my mind much. (And "Everyday" is just one song.) Even just visually scanning previous year-end best-of playlists reminds me how jazzed I was about this or that (ah-ah-ah-all this is that) song at the time.
I need an album. I need a band. I need a genre.

This came up on shuffle and I remembered that I, and as far as I can tell I alone, love this song. (And not Ariel Pink's version. I love this version.)

Probably my favorite song of 2015, but didn't discover it until last year:

I am obsessed with this song.

Have you listened to or enjoyed his current album?
I've been liking this wildside-walkin' knock-off lately as a summer ditty. I posted it in the new music thread, I think, but here it is again.
Honestly though I haven't been getting into anything much lately.

The only songs from Bruce's new album that I heard were the ones you posted in the new music thread, and I thought they were pretty good.
I've seen you mention HAIM before but I this is the first song I've listened to by them. It's pretty good, too. The bass and sax kinda reminds me of a fast "Walk On the Wild Side".

It is DEFINITELY WotWS based. I think they've actually admitted as such. I think they're a pretty good band, and I enjoy the fact that they're actually a band. (A rarity these days.) Can't stand the all-caps name, especially when their last name is Haim. Not HAIM. Oh well.
I recommend the new Bruce album. It's definitely among my favorite few of the year so far. Doesn't sound a lot like his previous work, but it's good. I like it more than anything he's done in a couple decades. (I'm not a huge fan, but I have a pretty good working knowledge of his material, especially up through Born in the USA, but sporadically afterward, at least in the primary shapes.)

This summer I've been revisiting groups that I haven't listened to in many years. At least, not intently. Groups like CSNY (and the various iterations and solo careers), The Doors, and Led Zeppelin. After hearing "Victim Of Love" on the radio this morning, I think the Eagles are up next.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm very interested in the new David Crosby documentary. While I appreciate The Byrds and CSN(&Y), I've never been a huge fan, and I have a lot to learn about them. So, like you, I've been listening to both a Byrds and CSN&Y comp.

I've been listening to Cotton Mather so, so much. Best--if not only--known for their '97 power pop masterpiece Kontiki, they are probably the only band that warrants inclusion in a "been listening to" kind of thread.
I'm a Patreon patron of their leader/songwriter Robert Harrison, and so have gotten like three dozen unreleased songs this year (either demos or different versions of released material or otherwise new or old unreleased stuff). Today I got in the mail an early, home-mix of the aforementioned, and am just in heaven. Of the various things I support, Harrison definitely provides the most return ... far and away!
Such a great band.

This is my autumn music for now. Paul Simon was so great on the acoustic guitar. I love the arrangements and the vocals. They still had it. Hard to believe this album is 15 years old already.

With Ginger Baker's passing, I pulled up this song/video, "Do What You Like" from Blind Faith's only studio album. The album version of "Do What You Like" is 15:18 long; this is an edited version. Ginger wrote the song. It closed the album.
After Jim Morrison's passing, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore stayed together for two more years, releasing two albums. I wish they would've stayed together and gone in a musical direction similar to "Do What You Like", kind of a jazz-rock free form. I hear a lot of Ray, Robby, and John in this track:
