Live At Leeds by The Who
May 12 2026

I have a positive association with the Who, but haven’t listened to much of them - so I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, didn’t turn out to be what I hoped - the extended version felt interminable, the singing sounded like screeching at times, and none of the songs felt memorable.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 16 2026
White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
May 17 2026

This was truly awful. Most of this isn’t “music” - just noise, or talking (over noise). The most music-like tracks are fuzzy-sounding and have terrible song lyrics.

Music was surprisingly good - though lyrics were awful and juvenile. Not sure what to make of this.
