Miriam Makeba – Miriam Makeba When this first started playing I immediately fell in love with her voice and that joy remained through the first couple of songs. I appreciated it a little less when she switched to singing in English, the other languages were…
The Modern Lovers – The Modern Lovers I kind of liked this one. The vocals are a bit unconventional in sound and style so I think it might take a few listens for it to settle in, but I enjoyed it. Or maybe I am…
Different Class – Pulp I listened to this when I woke up this morning and when I went to write the review tonight I really had no recollection of any particular song, or feeling about the album. I couldn’t remember the name of the band…
I, like a lot of others, am struggling today. Today is the day we normally join our friends in celebrating our Independence, and yet, many of us aren’t in a celebrating mood. Donald Trump’s disastrous bill passed the House yesterday and we are confronted with…
Ute Lemper is another artist that is completely new to me. I was intrigued by the listed songwriters (Elvis Costello, Philip Glass, Tom Waits, Nick Cave) so was cautiously optimistic going in. During the first song I thought that she had a good voice and…
I listen to at least the first minute of every song before I will skip it if I don’t like it. Listening to this album by Ministry was the longest fucking nine minutes of my life. I hated every second of it. To learn more…
Same Fee – Different Box As usual, this box now lives in our living room.
I hated the first few seconds of this, but then it wasn’t terrible for a bit, but then I started to hate it again. There’s just a lot of repetition in the songs so they seem to just not go anywhere for a really long…
I am beginning to worry that you all must think I live in a cave, but I have never heard an Adele song before. Seeing that “Hello” has 3.4B plays on YouTube Music, I think you are right. Know that at least Adele doesn’t live…
I have mixed feelings about this album by Suede but I think that’s because I can’t really figure out what it is. It’s considered alternative and I guess as a description of the music – alternative it is. It shifts from quiet to loud, mellow…
I hadn’t heard this in ages but I think a bit of maturity has set in that lets me hear Cat Stevens in a whole new light. I guess I always enjoyed the radio hits a bit but this really made perfect Saturday morning, quiet…
When I started to listen to this I was expecting it to sound like “Sex Is On Fire” but it didn’t so I searched and found out that apparently I was thinking about Kings of Leon and that I really had no idea who Arcade…
Gina and I took a trip to Mexico a number of years ago with my mom and some other family so we got our passports as needed for the international travel. She just got a letter about upcoming expiration and passport renewal so we were…
I believe I am being truthful when I say I am not sure if I have ever heard a Beyoncé song prior to listening to this album. Having now listened, I believe I am being truthful when I say I am not likely to ever…
I don’t even know how to write a review for Band On The Run – it’s an essential album full of tremendously interesting and enjoyable songs by the world’s greatest songwriter. I think that covers it pretty well actually. To learn more about the 1001…
