The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Sep 18 2025

Sounds like the end of pink panther episodes. Very nice smooth jazz. Excellent brass licks and stabs.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Sep 21 2025

10/10 It’s Dolly Parton. Voice of an angel and the heart of one too. 🫡

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Sep 24 2025

Lovely piano in pt. 1 Brass is gorgeous Very calming 7 mins is a bit long but worth it I think and it’s easy to do other things alongside the song— the time flies by Pt 2 A bit pacier than part one, more of a dance song than a sit and talk one Excellent saxophone (? I think) part Like the slowing down and acoustic at the end Pt 3 Again pacier than part two, lovely speedy sax and piano parts rushing into each other (pursuance, I suppose) Pt 4 Contrasts nicely to 3, slows down considerably— fits the title psalm well Builds up a little but never too much Darker tones perhaps than the others Heavy piano in the middle with a slow sax riff melting over the top Almost sounds like deliberate choking on the highest notes about 1:30 from the end Overall an incredible saxophonist

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Sep 25 2025

Classic rock n roll Not as in classic rock As in it’s like classic And it’s rock music Sounds like it should be in a horrid Henry movie tbh Kind of teenage dirtbag style but not really Gets a bit more mopey at Rudderless Nice shouty bit at the start of bit part Frank mills feels like it has lore Mrs Robinson is soooo nostalgic even though I’ve never heard it before Shakey ground is very chill and a lot more indie than the rest thus far Title track starts like a Beatles song The my drug buddy demo version sounds a little more depressing than the actual version ngl A fan of kitchen demo it’s very basic I love it

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 26 2025

Yeah this is all the same vibes as come on Eileen (somewhat obviously) and I’ve been searching for that vibe for so long very glad I’ve found this album Don’t know why I never thought to look up the artist of come on Eileen and listen to their music but I guess I just assumed it was a song that floated in the ether

The La's by The La's
Sep 28 2025

Twangy guitar but not country Slightly whiny nasally voice like Tim minchin playing Judas in Jesus Christ superstar Sounds like the Beatles There she goes is on this!!! Like if the Beatles were being sung by oasis Goes a bit more 2000s-y at some points Way out goes a bit pirate-y in my opinion Freedom song sounds a bit like a spell but it’s a banger Suddenly slower, softer and more melancholy for looking glass They quite like their little naturals and sharps where you don’t think they’ll be A little disharmony, a little unpredictability

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 30 2025

Starts nice and fast paced, building up layers Chanting type vocals Very textures music Lots of repeating patterns Percussion, synths, drawly vocals Sad white boy music (in a positive way) Very 70s/80s synth Bibbly bobbly music These guys were either on LSD or wanted to be A bit witchy at points

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Oct 06 2025

A little less light than I thought Pleasant surprise

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 11 2025

Lots of sort of chanty, small note range choruses, good guitar in the background. Not a bad voice but not a traditionally good one either. Would perhaps also be suited to rock screaming. Sort of wish there was a 3.5 star

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Oct 12 2025

Lots of sort of chanty, small note range choruses, good guitar in the background. Not a bad voice but not a traditionally good one either. Would perhaps also be suited to rock screaming. Sort of wish there was a 3.5 star

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Oct 15 2025

Not my thing necessarily but good musically

Oct 18 2025

Really long intro to where the streets have no name but honestly worth it Very end of an 80s movie hopeful sounding Similar vibes to other songs Love the vocals on with or without you Gets a bit of a darker sound on bullet the blue sky, slightly heavier and slidier on the guitar, more reverb Running to stand still starts like a western but then goes chill and quiet again— slight build up at points but largely very quiet until the wailing parts These were remastered in the year I was born wow that’s weird Main singer is quite good at the high pitched quiet shouting kind of singing New vibes at the start of in god’s country Harmonica (?) at the start of trip though your wires

Oct 26 2025

Don’t love the slobbery sounds at the start Good guitar at the start of I bet you Reverb at the start of music for my mother is nice, then the stripped back guitar Zippy guitar sounds in I got a thing are good Overall it’s not my thing but musically it’s impressive

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Oct 29 2025

Love the slightly ragtime-y piano at the start

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Nov 03 2025

More folky than anticipated at the start Builds up gently in quattro Could imagine this as a movie soundtrack for a woman running away from home to be herself over the moors in the 1850s Hard to pin down a genre

Be by Common
Nov 13 2025

Quiet and ominous guitar plucking at the start, speeding up to make a riff Sort of chill rap over the top Like calm lyrics but it fits well on the synth stuff and the continuous riff underneath Not a rap fan but this is musically sound and lyrically complex

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Nov 15 2025

Not his best album but it’s Bowie isn’t it
