Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 15 2023

Hard to believe it was written in 1969. Dark and textured, love when you can hear more guitars than just the acoustic (which is also lovely, btw)

Is This It by The Strokes
May 16 2023

Awesome how garage-y it is. Sounds like it was recorded at home, not in a studio

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 18 2023

Pretty cool. I liked how all of the songs fade out. I bet these guys can jam

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 19 2023

Love it! The bass is awesome, really drives the music while the guitar layers weirdness on top. Goes downie sounds a lot like the singer.

Be by Common
May 22 2023

Not bad, but I’m not big into rap so…

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 23 2023

Meh, it’s fine but I get why they’re a one hit wonder. Oasis is better

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 24 2023

Very cool, not sure why this guy isn’t more famous. Lots going on, love the “full band” sound with the backup singers and the big ensemble

Pornography by The Cure
May 25 2023

It was cool, I can see why some people enjoy it but not really for me. Lotta noise, and songs sounds pretentious. Similar to the smiths, but I liked that one better.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 26 2023

Don’t think I finished it. Not bad but not my cup of tea

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 29 2023

Solid, not their best but still good

May 30 2023

Where has this band been? Excellent album, I can hear the punk behind all of the synthy 80s layers

Low-Life by New Order
May 31 2023

Didn’t listen to much, but I like what I heard. Similar to the smiths

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jun 01 2023

Cool, not really my thing but she’s still talented. Liked the parts where she improvised

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jun 02 2023

It’s ok, sounds like it could be “punk” but not full-on punk. Probably won’t listen again, but I didn’t hate it

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 05 2023

Can’t really remember… not as much piano as I thought there would be

Jun 06 2023

It’s nice, easy to listen to, catchy Sounds generic, like there are lots of things that sound like it. Generic but in a good way

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 09 2023

Loved it. This is what electronic music should sound like.

All Directions by The Temptations
Aug 22 2023

Awesome! Funky, but with focus on the vocals. Loved it
