I saw Björk a few weeks ago and it was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life. She is yet another artist that has been around for my entire adult life who I have only ever been peripherally aware of, and now it feels like I’ve been missing out. If you ever getContinue reading “#646 – Utopia by Björk”

From the look of this guy, I assumed he would be playing some trustafarian reggae. There definitely is a bit of that in his catalog, but this specific album has much more of a folky feel, which I really enjoyed.
