Lindisfarne: Fog On The Tyne

[Justice Roberts]

Flora Purim – Flora é M.P.M..

[Todd]

Ms Grant's latest.  A mammoth, sixteen track, nearly eighty-minute slow burn of an album.  She teams up with Jack Antanoff again to great effect, and she has multiple guest artists, including the fantastic Father John Misty, though he's all about support here.  This is not as good as the phenomenal Norman Fucking Rockwell!, but it may be her second best effort.  Or maybe her third; I do adore Paradise.

Pink Floyd - Summer '68.

Rice & Webber: Jesus Christ Superstar





One of the great things about the 1970s for me was the concept of the Rock Opera. This was one of the better ones.

It's definitely my favourite one.

U2 - Songs of Surrender


Been listening to the above set this weekend - Enjoying it a lot more than I expected to...

[Karl Henning]

I've always really dug Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." One of the greatest grooves in the world ... and then he goes on about a vegetable ... am I the only human to fail to understand this in the least?...

For years I thought one of the phrases in that song was "you disgusting meatball."

I am a fan of pop music from around 2011, but I haven't followed much pop music in the recent years. I decided to check what it has to offer these days. I listened to (Spotify) Ayra Starr's album "19 & Dangerous". Decent Afrobeat/R&B pop, but nothing mindblowing. The track "Rush" is pretty nice.

Homework.  First listen.  Last listen.  It's just crap.

Neil Young - Zuma (1975)



 

[foxandpeng]

Hanging Garden as a change of pace. Melodic death/doom from Finland.

Always excellent.

Kaunis Kuolematon - Syttyköön toinen aurinko ... more Finnish death/doom metal to cleanse the aural palate. Stunning sound world.
