Unhalfbricking – Fairport Convention I know very little about Fairport Convention other than the names Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny, and a smattering of songs I have heard over the years. I liked this though, a mix of traditional folk songs and obscure Dylan covers.…
I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You – Aretha Franklin This album is the sort of treasure that I know I will enjoy when I listen to it but for some reason it just doesn’t seem to go in to regular rotation.…
When I sit to do my Cubii elliptical time, the chair is a little low so I put some old couch pillows down to raise myself up. One time when I was done I took them off and set them on the floor until I…
The Slim Shady LP – Eminem It had to happen I guess, not only is this the first album of the challenge that I wasn’t previously familiar with, it’s a genre that I don’t normally listen to. I told myself I would listen to the…
I am thinking of starting a series of posts about story songs. I have a list started but there are so many more to add. Do you have a favorite story song? Physical therapy was exhausting today and I am feeling the workout this evening.…
Electric Warrior – T. Rex I have always really enjoyed listening to this album as nothing else sounds quite like Marc Bolan and T. Rex. Sure everyone knows “Bang A Gong” but there is so much more here and elsewhere. “Mambo Sun” kicks off the…
I did a little housekeeping on the site this week. I added a search box and I finally got around to populating the About / Who, What, Why? Page. I had some help from the AI but it came out well. The neuropathy that I…
One of the main reasons I started this site was to have a place to share the sort of things that I used to post on Twitter. These were usually short little posts or links or a random thought or experience that would occur to…
The Beatles – The Beatles. I really didn’t need to listen to this one again yesterday as it is fully ingrained in to my brain at this point but that’s the exercise, so I did. Not a chore… I love this album for all of…
During the Presidential campaign, Donald Trump kept insisting he had no real familiarity of Project 2025 and that he was not at all affiliated with them. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone to find out that he’s a fucking liar (who lies) and…
Bayou Country – Creedence Clearwater Revival. What a great album in a string of great albums by these guys. I had a discussion on Twitter once about CCR maybe being the greatest American band and a compelling argument can sure be made. The Beach Boys…
Can’t Buy A Thrill – Steely Dan. My choice from their debut is “Change Of The Guard” which is a killer track that would fit right in on any of their later albums as well.
I admit to being a bit skeptical about JB Pritzker when he was first running for Illinois Governor. After the debacle that was Rauner, I wasn’t sure that another billionaire was the right choice here. I am glad to say that my fears were unfounded,…
Remain in Light – Talking Heads. I chose the song “The Great Curve” because it is funky and fun.
I stumbled across a site that touts the 1001 albums you must hear before you die. I am intrigued so I signed up for the challenge. Each day I am assigned an album to listen to and the following day I get prompted for a…
