#75 – A Strangely Isolated Place by Ulrich Schnauss

I’ll be honest, I picked this album because I saw the artist’s name in a list and thought it was fun to say. It came up at the end of a Tycho album and any electronic artist would be honored to be put in the same sentence as him. I feel like the general public’sContinue reading “#75 – A Strangely Isolated Place by Ulrich Schnauss”

#74 – Big Brother & The Holding Company by Big Brother & The Holding Company

I saw a great video on Instagram of a BB & THC performance and realized that I didn’t know anything about their catalog besides the Cheap Thrills album. They always make me think of some friends of my parents who had a nude poster of Janis Joplin hanging over their television. It’s hard to focusContinue reading “#74 – Big Brother & The Holding Company by Big Brother & The Holding Company”

#73 – Closer by Joy Division

I never thought I’d pick two albums by the same band on consecutive days, but today laziness shall reign. I listened to Closer this morning, but never got around to choosing another album, so here we are. This has not been a great week for me putting effort into this blog, which must be disappointingContinue reading “#73 – Closer by Joy Division”

#72 – Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

I have always known of the cult status of Joy Division and the iconic art that adorns this album, but never really listened to them at all. Ironically, I have seen New Order, the band formed by the surviving members of Joy Division after the death of Ian Curtis. They played Coachella a couple ofContinue reading “#72 – Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division”

#71 – Anything But Words by Banks & Steelz

I think I’ve mentioned before how much I love supergroups. This is a really interesting one. Banks & Steelz features Interpol’s Paul Banks and the RZA of Wu Tang Clan. Apparently the RZA sought out Banks for this collaboration because he “just has an energy about him.” I saw them at Coachella a few yearsContinue reading “#71 – Anything But Words by Banks & Steelz”

#70 – Peter Gabriel 4: Security by Peter Gabriel

I never really explored the Genesis catalog until a few years ago. When I was young, my dad had all of the later albums, which I assumed was representative of the entire catalog. Obviously, now I know that in that era they are a completely different band than they were at the time of theContinue reading “#70 – Peter Gabriel 4: Security by Peter Gabriel”

#69 – Ty Segall by Ty Segall

Here we go again. The opportunities presented by the original quarantine to unite the country in our efforts to track and contain Covid-19 have been more than squandered, we’ve gone so far in the wrong direction that we are now global pariahs. The entire world would be laughing at us, but our failure poses aContinue reading “#69 – Ty Segall by Ty Segall”

#68 – The Waterfall II by My Morning Jacket

I don’t have anything that interesting to talk about today. There’s definitely no shortage of crazy things in the world to consider, but sometimes you just need to unplug from it all for a little while. This is a great album, though. I never really listened to My Morning Jacket until I saw Jim JamesContinue reading “#68 – The Waterfall II by My Morning Jacket”

#67 – Iteration by Com Truise

I was never really into much EDM until a few years ago, but now I seem to discover artists that I like on a pretty regular basis. This one was another Spotify suggestion, at the conclusion of Tycho’s Dive. I am constantly reminded of how the world of music is a microcosm of the varietyContinue reading “#67 – Iteration by Com Truise”

#66 – Big Grams by Big Grams

I wish I could take more enjoyment in watching the wheels come off the trump administration bus, but their problems are killing far too many people to feel OK about that. I don’t want to get my hopes up about any of these people feeling any consequences for their actions, but it is technically possibleContinue reading “#66 – Big Grams by Big Grams”
