I liked a bit of this, there were some nice instrumental sections that were jams – celtic folk jams but jams nonetheless. It’s really just not my thing though, I guess. To learn more about the 1001 Albums Project, I first wrote about it here.
In between listens I always remember liking this album more than I actually do. It’s got some really good stuff but the misses are big, and Immigrant Song is quite possibly the worst thing they ever did, although I imagine The Crunge would maybe like…
What an amazing voice, so strong and forceful but with nuance and soul and a crackle. The band is great and she is great and the album is great. For me, her version of Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee” is the star here. I…
I have really only heard a few songs by Billy Bragg prior to listening to this album, other than the Mermaid Avenue stuff with Wilco. I liked this a lot, it’s full of protest songs and country songs and a phenomenal cover of “The Tracks…
Fee has moved on from her pillows to a new spot. Gina has been cutting up some cardboard boxes for a craft project and Fee has moved right in to one of them. She sleeps there all the time now. and often times she will…
I like R.E.M. a lot and have ever since I first heard “Radio Free Europe” on WXRT in 1983. I have mixed feelings about this album though. One one hand I dislike “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite” and “Man On The Moon” so much that I…
I struggle a bit with this David Bowie album and always have, ever since I first listened in the mid 80s. I can appreciate it in context of the time in his career and location of recording. It’s an unconventional record and it’s not always…
After yesterday’s album I was so thrilled to see this one pop up for today. I adore this album, it is one of my very favorites. It is impeccable and perfect. The only problem I had in relation to writing about this album was deciding…
I have heard of Missy Elliot but didn’t know much, if anything, about her. I am sure that this is probably good to those who appreciate this style of music. I am not that person.
It was 25 years ago today that me and Gina saw our first Gov’t Mule show (with our friend Jon) at the Vic Theatre. We’ve seen them dozens of time since then but this show was really quite memorable. Not only was it the only…
I am “I bought this on cassette when it was released” years old, but admittedly my 14 year old self wasn’t quite ready for it at the time. Now though, I am here for it and can appreciate how remarkable Nebraska is (the album, not…
I wanted to like this a lot more than I actually did. Just a little too much screaming vs singing and the repetition of the lyrics was a bit irritating. I thought some of the music was pretty good and Tom Morello for sure is…
Is it over yet? As I listened I really just wanted it to be over. Sweet Jesus please tell me it’s over! I hated every second of this one. No feature. I was actually looking forward to this based on the artist name – The…
Great band, funky as hell and James is on fire. It’s short at 31 minutes but I can only imagine what it was like to be there to witness this. Makes me want to dig deeper in to his live stuff that came a little…
Tigermilk – Belle and Sebastian This was yucky, I didn’t care for it at all. No featured song. To learn more about the 1001 Albums Project, I first wrote about it here.
