Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 26 2026

Insulin required

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 03 2026

The loudness wars took many casualties, but few met as gruesome a fate as this.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 04 2026

Subtle. Wonky. Purdy.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Mar 05 2026

Didn’t get to listen to much but solid; like Pixies but noisier and a bit sluggier.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Mar 06 2026

One of the best albums ever. Proof you can be a bad singer and still be an amazing… singer.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 08 2026

It’s fine, but why not just listen to Dylan at that point

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 09 2026

Solid punk but vocals give me a bit of fatigue.

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 10 2026

Imagine every time someone disses you they have to qualify it with “you admittedly ate with Illmatic though”

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 11 2026

What an awesome work that humanizes inmates and Johnny himself; and every song is perfectly raw. Best moments are when it’s interrupted by a joke or a sore throat or something. Best live album ever (besides maybe Alive 2007).

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 12 2026

White Light/White Heat if instead of heroin, all the band members were on sugary drinks.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 13 2026

This is good, but are we sure they didn’t mean to put Songs of Love and Hate instead?

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 14 2026

It’s the Bluesprint. Get it?

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 17 2026

Might be better than Sings the Blues. Hard to tell, it’s real subtle and simmery.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Mar 18 2026

Decent pop, but it does lose steam as it goes on. The closing track is mixed pretty poorly, not a good ending note.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 24 2026

Not bad, but clearly Kid A cutting room floor scraps. Not essential.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 25 2026

This is so much better produced than Californication, it’s hilarious. But it’s even LONGER. Who can stand that much RHCP straight?

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 28 2026

Paul’s Boutique clears but Beastie Boys beat ass.

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 07 2026

Front to back, pretty much a flawless template for modern indie rock.
