    I've recently started a music exchange with a friend of mine that lives in the middle east. We discovered we share a similar taste in music but have access to vastly different catalogs. We decided to mirror each other's suggestions (i.e. she picks a band and I try to find an equivalent from my own collection). This week she recommended Tinariwen - a Moroccan band from the 90s - as a jumping off point. Their music is a brilliant integration of traditional moroccan music with modern instrumentation. I found it really accessible. In response, I shared Damien Jurado, with an entry point of Silver Timothy. I think Damien captures a similar feeling as Tinariwen - replace the Sahara with the Mohave and keep the psychedelic/ghostly/inter-dimensional feel.

    It's been a really fun to have a guide to walk me through a new catalog, choosing music that can act as an accessible gateway to larger genres. Also, sharing music is just a great way to get to know someone even better and forge deeper bonds.
