1001 Albums Summary

Having a tech issue. This initially came up as the album Gorillaz, which I love and have listened to a zillion times. Here is my comment on Gorillaz: A friend in college put Man Research (Clapper) into a student film I took part in and I loved it. The film was lousy. I played a clueless, affable roommate. The friend is now a wedding videographer. Anyway, I listened to that song at least once a month for the last 20-odd years, sometimes much more. I didn’t really even realize it had lyrics until a few years ago. Something about me is that I never hear the lyrics in a song. It’s a problem. I’ll fall in love with a riff or a tone but I have no idea what many of my favorite songs are actually about.

Listened with Jane at 7 am while we made our morning oatmeal.

Me: “Jane, these are called ‘classics.’” Everybody likes this music.” Jane: “Daddy put on music from Auntie Cora.”

I was not expecting this so sound so much like The Beach Boys. Five stars.

This is 100% my sort of music. My longtime favorite band, Zero 7, fully ripped off Air for their first 3-4 albums.
