At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Vaughan has a gorgeous voice and a great sense of humor! Even when she forgot the lyrics to a song, she made it work and elicited laughter from her audience. What a captivating musician. This live album captures her in sound. Excellent listening.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jul 26 2022

Couldn't even get through the whole album - gave it a good try, though. Made it about halfway through until I couldn't take it anymore. Ultimately, the vapid, overproduced sound didn't draw me. The whole album very much reminded me of bad filler music used in early 2000s rom-coms.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jul 27 2022

Pretty much a perfect album. Easy listening with some beautiful lyrics that likely go overlooked. Lots of favorites on here: Judy Blue Eyes, Guinnevere, Pre-Road Downs, Marrakesh Express, Helplessly Hoping, 49 Bye-Byes.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 29 2022

Pretty decent. Some great tunes like Chocolate Cake, It's Only Natural, Whispers and Moans, Fame Is, All I Ask, As Sure As I Am, She Goes On. The other half of the album features mediocre songs and forgettable vocals.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 30 2022

God awful. Sounds like a junior high talent show gone wrong (do any of them ever go right??).

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 31 2022

A standardly good album overall - some great tracks and some duds. Wouldn't pick to be my first listen but wouldn't complain if it were on.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Aug 01 2022

The instrumentals are vastly superior to the vocals, but overall this was an unimpressive album. Kinda gave up on it.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Aug 02 2022

Very few complaints - this is a surprisingly good album.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 03 2022

Eugh. The voice of a nasally pedophile. Also I'm pretty sure he ripped the bassline on "Party Girl" from The Beatles' "You Never Give Me Your Money."

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 04 2022

Nothing against Cheap Trick, but 38 live tracks is a lot of Cheap Trick.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 05 2022

Yeah, it was fine.

Blur by Blur
Aug 06 2022

Ultimately boring to me. Dunno why, just is.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 11 2022

Lovely Bowie - not the best Bowie album, but not bad by any means.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 14 2022

This was the rejected initial soundtrack for Tim Burton's "The Corpse Bride."
