I heard some on WBGO this morning -- tbh there were a lot of cool little chord changes and melodic tricks and licks and there was a lot going on to hold my interest, but it just seemed a little too much like the pleasant sound of sliding into middle age and I'm not ready for that yet.

Oh hi it’s the sound of me pleasantly sliding into middle age. I went to the Carnegie Hall show. Very NPR but fucking amazing nonetheless.

This thread was started by Home Blitz?
I like some of Bela’s solo banjo albums but I was like 16 when the Flecktones were really on the scene and that was never going to be cool then. I could probably get into them now but is it even worth trying?

I'm still not really in love with the flecktones thing, but the current album is more like acoustic prog bluegrass supergroup and it's really good. Dense, compositionally interesting, non-stop impressive picking, etc.
