In a mood, but kind of annoying to me honestly. Glad dudes have this as their outlet though. Maybe I'm just mad this was never acoustically sung at me. Don't Look Back in Anger is okay. DNF.

Really like this one. Favs are... The Bones of You, Mirrorball, Grounds for Divorce. Also An Audience with the Pope, and One Day Like This. You can totally tell how this influenced indie and alternative music. Very orchestral in some songs. And Guy Garvey is a good singer.

Horses by Patti Smith

Really liked this. never listened to the full album before. Obviously had heard Gloria. I liked the beachy vibe of Redondo Beach, unexpected. Also interesting how it sounds like spoken word in some songs. I want to read her book soon.

This is Hell. Fav song. Definitely partial to My Aim Is True. and to Elvis and the Attractions. But this has to be the origins of me enjoying when dudes do weird things with their voice.

FAVs; As we go up we go down, Chicken Blows, Always Crush me. very short songs. getting the whole lo-fi thing. Theres a song where someone is snoring the whole song? Ex Supermodel. i don't like it, but also weird i kinda like it. you can totally tell this is early indie. indie rock, alternative rock and lofi, influenced by the stylings of the British Invasion and progressive rock. 1980s Slacker Rock - Guided by Voices who formed in 1983 and treated low-fidelity analog recording as an intentional musical aesthetic, which had previously been viewed as a negative technological limitation. Late 1980s to early 1990s, the American lo-fi movement began to gain prominence in the alternative and DIY underground music scene, with the sound evolving into a distinct indie rock genre popularized by bands like Pavement. Later bands like Built to Spill 1990s Beck 2010s, slacker rock experienced a revival spearheaded by artists like Mac DeMarco, Alex G and Car Seat Headrest, as well as artists like Kurt Vile, Vivian Girls, Courtney Barnett, and Ovlov. Subsequently, slacker rock's resurgence would later influence the bedroom pop movement.

Extremely not my cup of tea. I know that now. Genuinely irritated. Concerned for my algorithm.
