Station To Station by David Bowie

Quick and fun 38 minutes. Let's rewind. I think the Thin White Duke era could be my favorite of Bowie's. Or does the preference always Ch-ch-changes?

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Before listening: I always imagined Joni Mitchell's audience as the Emma Thompson's character from Love Actually. Tragic, hopeless, alone.../ I started it for the second time and starting to like it at "Help me"/ The more folkish a song is the less I like it./ "Help me" and "Raised on Robbery" keeps pulling me back (even tough the second one is pretty folkish, but has good vibes, so I don't care)/ This is definitely not the Joni Mitchel I was expecting, and when reading a bit about her it seems that I could like her later stuff, when she ventured to jazzier stuff, seems like this was kind of a starting point.

Lehet, hogy anno eltalált volna, de most egyáltalán nem tudott megfogni.

Play by Moby

Imádtam anno és most is teljes nosztalgiahullám

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Feb 04 2021

Jackie - Ez ilyen amerikai sanzon album? The Girls from the Streets - Nagyon nem tudom magam annak a közönség részének érezni, aki ezt előben hallgatja. The Girls and the Dogs - Ja, ez ilyen amerikai sanzon, not my type

It was good to speed up my yesterday for an hour, fun lively stuff. But will not give it a second chance.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 11 2021

Boring, generic folk-rock album. Call me a snob, but this is the first one I don't even understand how it could fit to 1001 albums to listen to before you die. And jeez it is 20 songs of boredom, i might not listen to it the whole way through... Giving up at "Women Without Whiskey", could not care less.

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 15 2021

I confess that if I hear a Duran Duran song in a well constructed 80's nostalgia movie scene, than I'm all up for it. I could not enjoy it this way.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 19 2021

You can never go wrong with Ella. Maybe it was a too much to have a really memorable moment, but overall it was a great soothing listen.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 26 2021

Each Queen has to grow into it's full potential

I might be rating harshly, and I love me some Sam Cooke, but I feel there was nothing that stood out on this. Would have been amazing being there live.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 05 2021

Rolling Stones were always a bit meh for me.
