Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 03 2026

Superfly cruises through the city at night with the windows down. There is a lot of sugar in this medicine.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 03 2026

Effortlessly grooves through the first third before petering out. But just when you start to drift, Sultans of Swing begins.

The Specials by The Specials
Jan 05 2026

Not for me, but a worthy pitstop.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 06 2026

"Take Me With You When You Go" is gorgeous. Exhilarating and expansive.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 08 2026

The gentle soundtrack to a chance meeting with an old flame at a cocktail bar in a city you've never been to before. Willing to dance if you'll lead.

Jan 09 2026

There is a lot to like about Muse, but I can't shake the feeling that the vocalist is smugly levitating the entire time.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 10 2026

I listened to this while reading the wikipedia page for tiananmen square, and I think they synced up.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 13 2026

Self-indulgence never tasted so good.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jan 15 2026
Third by Portishead
Jan 16 2026

I feel like typically albums get boring in the middle or near the end when they've lost steam. But this one started boring and then got pretty good. I enjoyed the little run from The Rip to Machine Gun. The rest was a bit too difficult for me right now.

Faith by George Michael
Jan 18 2026

Every single one of these songs is too long. Great pop album. Love the song about spanking the monkey.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jan 21 2026

I wanted to enjoy this more. The instrumentation is too boring for the lyrics to be this inane.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jan 22 2026

I'm being nice by not knocking an entire star off for the eating noises in Who Was That?, a song about a guy being in your house. This album takes place in the same "New York City" as RENT.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 24 2026

Coupla real stinkers near the end here.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 27 2026

I've never really listened to an album like this before. I sat back, and let it take the lead.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Feb 01 2026

After hearing the (pleasant) instrumental of My Doorbell in so many car commercials, I was surprised to find Jack White giving one of the most annoying vocals of all time here.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 02 2026

The first domino in a series of events that trigger the rise of Michael Cera in the mid-2000's.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Feb 06 2026

This is what I thought grown-ups listened to when I was growing up. I enjoyed it a good bit.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 07 2026

I think I am the exact age to feel unbearably nostalgic to the point of melancholy over a lot of early 2010's music. Great listen, wish they let Regine sing more. Wish Win was a better guy.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 08 2026

Found myself frowning a lot. Kind of music that helps your dad process his divorce.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Feb 10 2026

This my 41st album and the first time I've been left genuinely wanting more. (Seriously, only 34 minutes.)

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 13 2026

Sonic highlights include 'Tom and Jerry running around' and 'skeleton playing his ribs like a xylophone.'

Diamond Life by Sade
Feb 14 2026

Kind of music that makes you want to have an affair in the 80's

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 18 2026

Some real high points, but also many other points where I came to and wondered, "How long have I been on hold?"

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Feb 20 2026

Honestly blew me away. Just kept getting better and better. Dreamy and evocative.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 22 2026
Feb 25 2026

Oh, this must be how other people feel when they listen to the stuff I like.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Mar 06 2026
Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Mar 09 2026

Not only are these guys getting cheated on, but they're also being really pathetic about it.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 13 2026
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 17 2026
Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 21 2026
Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 24 2026
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 04 2026
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 19 2026
Dummy by Portishead
May 09 2026
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 10 2026
Arular by M.I.A.
May 17 2026
Heroes by David Bowie
May 26 2026
Harvest by Neil Young
May 28 2026

Jun 03 2026
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 07 2026
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 11 2026
Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Jun 24 2026

I didn't really disagree with the things he was saying per se, but god, I would hate getting stuck talking to this guy at a party.

Play by Moby
Jun 25 2026
LP1 by FKA twigs
Jul 22 2026
The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Aug 10 2026

I didn't know tango could get scary, so that was a bit thrilling.

Dookie by Green Day
Aug 15 2026
Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Aug 20 2026

I'm going to be vulnerable and admit I had a knee jerk negative reaction to Liz Phair. And in fact, this album is very good.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 21 2026
Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

the mom in traveling man cannot be the same one who sewed that coat

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Sep 01 2026

Third Zeppelin album for me. I think I'm figuring out I don't like them.
