evermore by Taylor Swift

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 15 2023

Enjoyed this

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Sep 18 2023

Tom Waits has a serious frog in his throat, someone get him a menthol sweet or tell him to not sing first thing in the morning, sounds like he’s gasping for a cuppa…

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Sep 19 2023

I liked the songs I knew, nice slice of nostalgia rest was just okay

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 21 2023

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Sep 25 2023

Hmmm let me find a beat then repeat it 200x to make a 3 min song… really incredible they know the colour orange and can count to 10… inspiring…. my 6 year old niece could compose more complex and interesting music… absolute trash…

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Sep 28 2023

Really liked this, I assumed with the album cover and song names this would be very heavy metal, but it was actually pretty chill.
