The Wildest!
Louis Prima
just a gigolo i aint got a nobody- a mashup im told. bouncy and charismatic, love the instrumental breaks with the brass where it seems like he gets so into the song he has to step off the stage to dance with the crowd.
the lip- i cant tell if one line is racist but good storytelling. yip yip yip.
basin street blues- FUCKS HARD love when he acts so drunk he cant get words out right
you rascal you- fallout!!!

a lot bouncier than rap tends to nowadays, so sonically vibrant and layered

Sticky Fingers
The Rolling Stones
brown sugar- what the fuck. an annoying mix of appropriated honky tonk, rock & roll, and southern US history from a millionaire born in kent.
sway- mick jagger has a really grating voice. when we talk about word chewing we should include him in that group.
wild horses- a song that admits its about nothing
i dont care enough to continue

A Short Album About Love
The Divine Comedy
im sad ive never heard this piece of baroque pop before! almost as sad as i was to learn that "everyone knows (except you)" was the breakout hit, when it is objectively the worst song on the album

Electric Music For The Mind And Body
Country Joe & The Fish
not so sweet martha lorraine - i like the trodding and then fractalizing rythmn, with various instrumental sections representing parts of the unfolding narrative
porpoise mouth- enjoy for similar reasons
section 43- neat odyssey
a lot of this album is well performed but not especially notable (to me) psych rock. i like one persons write up where they described it as lysergic rock. thats cute and fits the lyrical surrealist painting being done. and what isnt well performed is grating.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
fav tracks-
moonage daydream
lady stardust
i had never listened to this album, or any bowie song, in full before. i dont think i wouldve liked it had i done so earlier, because of how associated these tracks have become with advertisements (mostly for movie trailers). i liked it now because i got to approach it from a blank slate.

From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Presley
solid but not my thing. i find myself, oddly, annoyed by his warble. other singers vibratos are fine but not his.

Solid Air
John Martyn
fav tracks-
solid air, dont want to know, go down easy, dreams by the sea, the man in the station
moody, passionate in the way you get walking down a long street, warm instruments in a cold tone, early synths punctuate feelings of distance, melancholy drips from the lyrics. his voice is scratchy but/and/yet soothing.

Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Company
instrumentals are abrasive and hit you low while janis joplins voice hits you high. summertime is a weak point. i started off really liking this album but as it went on it felt like i was begging for it to be over, not due to the length, but due to the constant high energy. the songs start to blur together.
