After yesterday’s trip through my listening past, I came across this offering from Jack White, who also once took up a decent amount of my eartime. This is actually his second album release of 2022, three months and change after the release of Fear of the Dawn, with which I will be following up today’sContinue reading “#901 – Entering Heaven Alive by Jack White”

If there’s one thing that I have not been great at throughout this listening project, it’s with creating any kind of fanfare for the milestones that I have reached. Here we are at another big, round number and I am barely marking it at all. I did, however, listen to the newest album by aContinue reading “#900 – Return of the Dream Canteen by Red Hot Chili Peppers”

This artist was featured on a track on one of my favorite EDM albums: Jack Ü by Skrillex and Diplo. As with so many other things, I was quite late to the dubstep party, but by the time that album came out in 2015, I was pretty much on board.

I’m very excited to see Stromae later this week at LA’s Shrine Theater. That venue has been the site of two of my all-time favorite concerts that have both been in the past year, Björk and Sigur Ros. Now, I realize that Stromae is not Icelandic, but I still have high hopes for the completionContinue reading “#898 – Cheese by Stromae”

I haven’t set hard and fast rules about the timeline for repeatingContinue reading “#897 – The Efferusphere by Big Wild”

Last night I worked at an award show that featured a performance by Patti LaBelle, so naturally I started looking into her extensive catalog.

There’s a bit of a hubbub going on right now over the outrageous prices that Ticketmaster is charging for the upcoming Blink 182 tour. I’m not sure where all these complainers have been for the last 20 years, as this issue has gotten worse and worse over time. There was once a time when AmericaContinue reading “#895 – Neighborhoods by Blink 182”

I just got invited to work at some kind of lifestyle convention that’s being headlined by Nigo. He’s a very successful artist in multiple mediums – music and fashion – and is described as having quite the celebrity Rolodex, as is clearly on display with all of the high-profile artists featured on this album.

I don’t know what led me to this album, but I loved it. Enough so, in fact, that I almost bought a ticket to their show tomorrow night, then remembered that I have to work. Just getting older and lamer by the minute.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I love me some Beyoncé. My family’s Covid experience featured a regular healthy dose of Queen B dance party. At one point I had some of the Love On Top choreography down, but I haven’t kept up on it.
