Craig Easdon

I do listen to a lot of music although I tend to to listen in "chunks" (eg. album sides) rather than singles.  There are certainly themes that run through what I'm listening to at any given time.  For instance, I just picked up a bass and have been learning the bass parts for songs that I liked as a kid (e.g., early Police records).  I've also been working on my flat picking and have gone back to some 70s Al Dimeola stuff (eg  Elegant Gypsy, Casino).  I also like the "sad dad" stuff (the new National is looping at the moment).

I guess the closest I come to listening to playlists are those that Steven Wilson puts on Spotify from his "Album Years" podcast.  If there is something of interest then I usually do a deep dive on the artist/producer for a few days.  For example, recently I went on a bit of a Christian McBride (the bassist) bender: listened to a lot of his stuff (he has a lot) and saw him when he played in Toronto earlier this year.
