bjork is my tom waits? some people can't stand or don't "get" her, and i'm not sure i fully "get" her either, but I can't deny the emotional power of her music for me. she creates musical landscapes that are like impressionist paintings. brava!

Punishing Kiss
Ute Lemper
did you guys ever see "Loqueesha"? there's no reason you should. it's a very bad movie with a very bad premise. but, like, if you watch it (maybe because you, like me, are an appreciator of bad movies), you see that, despite having an awful script, no stars, and a terrible "actor" in the lead role ... the film still seems technically very competent. it's no Marvel movie, but it's far from "Birdemic" levels. it's well-lit, the sound is good, most of the side actors are better-than-local-theater quality. it's just inexplicable how such a terrible idea and lead performance somehow had enough money behind them to make the finished product a quality representation of the Extremely Bad Ideas that were behind the whole thing.
so yeah. this album.
I guess the main difference is that the presence of names like Nick Cave and Tom Waits mean that in my metaphor, the equivalent would be if Lars Von Trier and David Lynch got together to produce "Little Nicky."
addendum: my god, this album is so bad without this Neil Hannon guy. and then it is SO MUCH WORSE when he appears.

lol this isn't even a real live album, it's a bunch of live recordings with overdubs on top. almost every live album from the 70s that is mythologized is mostly held in that esteem because the very idea of live recordings of rock 'n' roll bands was revolutionary. and they're not bad. but "you must listen before you die"? GTFO with that, boomers.

Steve McQueen
Prefab Sprout
i'm roughly halfway through this list and I'm wondering if the rest will be like the first half:
one-third classics that are beloved by most people
one-third stuff I don't know - and may not like - but that are clearly interesting works of art
and then the third like this: garbage tripe that can only be on the list because it hit a sweet spot with the listmaker. this is THOROUGHLY ORDINARY AND BORING MUSIC. it's a genre -- oversynthed, underbaked 80s pop -- that wasn't that great to begin with, and then it's not even one of the best examples of the genre. just because you used to stare at the album cover in your childhood bedroom and wish you were cool doesn't mean this record ever was.

De La Soul
i can't offer a real review because listening to the whole album reminds me of just how formative a document it was. a delicious stew of weirdness and hipness that showed that while you might care about being cool, true coolness came from self-confidence. a dramatic curtain pull on a possible future for hip-hop and sampling as art forms, it instead became the victim of being so successful as Art that Commerce demanded tribute, silencing most of De La's catalog for years and then only making it available in neutered form. RIP trugoy.

Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
man, I grew up with the same classic Beach Boys singles as everyone listening to their parents' music in the 80s, but now as an adult, all I hear is the overproduction that I heard on "Smile," which I got in this project before "Pet Sounds." And that overproduction - the xylophones, the timpanis, the million-part harmonies - makes me think only of the scene from "Walk Hard." "I need more didgeridoos. A thousand didgeridoos!"
