I'm finally back from my two and a half week long vacation to French Polynesia. I had a great time! Thanks for your patience. I plan on posting some more soon, once I recover a bit. I also will try to respond to the comments I'd missed.
While I was gone, the 2025 version of the annual Glastonbury Festival happened in Britain. This is the first festival to take place while I'm closely paying attention. (Sadly, there won't be another one next year, as the festival skips a year every now and then.) Most of the sets from the three day festival were made available in full by the BBC (although sadly I can't find any recording from the acoustic stage, which included sets by Ani DiFranco, Nick Lowe, and Roy Harper). Since I just got back home, I haven't listened to any of the music yet, but I can see which sets are available for download. There's about 90 acts, which is far too much for me to post here, unless I were to stop posting everything else for quite a while. But I figure I can post the most popular sets. So here's a list of everything I found. Let me know which ones you'd like me to post (and please only select a handful). I'll do all the ones that get a reasonable number of votes.

I have to admit I haven't kept up that much with currently popular music, so I don't recognize many of these names. But hopefully there are some that will get a good number of votes and prove to be worthy, in addition to some of the older and better known names.
Thanks for this LONG list. I would like to hear the sets from St. Vincent, Father John Misty, Lorde and Beth Gibbons, if you wouldn't mind. Thanks again for providing all this music and for all the work you put into making it all sound great.
