Feb 07 2025

Blues, country, this was a pleasant listen. Easy listening which occasionally had my feet tapping. Twangy guitars, young men that sound like they could be in their 40s.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Feb 08 2025

I really enjoyed this. Every so often I’d catch a riff that sounded modern and familiar and I’d be reminded of how influential this band was. Loved the big band element - it felt almost jazzy at points. Mostly have this three as I don’t want to peak too soon!

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 09 2025

A complete revelation. How did this ever pass me by as a teenager? So many factors - peer group, ethnicity being two immediate thoughts - but goodness, the musicianship, the lyrics. Pure poetry. LOVED IT!

Dinner party fare, inoffensive but bland.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 11 2025

Okay. Moondance the title song is a wonderful, but the rest didn’t excite me.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 12 2025

First song was like a very bad rock musical and then we slipped into whimsical songs, the lead singer’s soft voice enunciating basic rhymes as if conducting a children’s phonic’s tv show.And then we’re back to musical land. The flute was incessant…. Definitely some hippy 60 vibes.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 13 2025

Folky and indie

Woodface by Crowded House
Feb 21 2025

Pleasant middle aged fodder. Some risqué lyrics that proved an education for Hamish

Feb 23 2025

Country music, enjoyed the storytelling, gasped at the misogyny (wham bam thank you ma’am”.

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 25 2025

Repetitive and offensive

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 01 2025

Better than expected

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 02 2025

Inoffensive but just not that engaging

Blur by Blur
Mar 04 2025
