Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

fucking insufferable. the guy nobody really wanted at the party, waiting for a high five, hand in the air, for over an hour.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Dec 29 2021

not something i would ever come back to, but these guys deserve some points for sheer enthusiasm.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 30 2021

absent the historical context, this is a great record with one too many instances of an adult man making baby sounds.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Dec 31 2021

even at its least comprehensible, i get why people like this album so much. probably would have been huge to my teenage self.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 03 2022

has its moments, but, like, this is your man?!

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 04 2022

i cannot rate this fairly, since this and If You're Feeling Sinister are two of the most formative albums of my teenage years, so instead i will just praise stuart murdoch's ability to depict a very familiar kind of comfortable discontent.

The Visitors by ABBA
Jan 10 2022

look, i wore out my parents' CD copy of Gold like any obliviously queer teenager, but damn, i've been missing out on a whole discography!

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 13 2022

this is what i imagined this whole project would be: not much songwriting, lots of guitar. unfortunately, it's also pretty good.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 20 2022

so that's who iggy pop is. forgettable, but at least it's short.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 24 2022

fucking insufferable. the guy nobody really wanted at the party, waiting for a high five, hand in the air, for over an hour.

Jan 27 2022

a nice country excursion. i just wish my buddies would stop shunning me for turning to jesus!!

The Band by The Band
Jan 28 2022

not for me!

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jan 31 2022

an incredible waste of new headphones.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 01 2022

one of those records that makes me wish i'd been a band kid in high school

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Feb 02 2022

i did not realize singing about wizards was such a long and storied tradition

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 18 2022

you guys hear about this "nirvana" band?

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Mar 29 2022

i got sixteen tracks into the 30th anniversary version before wondering if i was into added material yet, which is high praise, honestly.
