#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”

#65 – Moving Waves by Focus

This is the second album that I have chosen because of the movie Trolls World Tour, with the first being by Anderson .Paak. This one, however, was because of a song in the movie, “Hocus Pocus.” The distinctive yodeling parts are a pretty serious earworm, as are most of the songs in that franchise. MyContinue reading “#65 – Moving Waves by Focus”

#64 – Paper Mâché Dream Balloon by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Anyone that knows me well has heard me talk about this band. They’re my favorite Australian act hands down and the rate at which they release new music is pretty astonishing. They’ve put out seventeen albums since 2011. In 2017 alone they released five full length albums. The depth of their catalog is matched byContinue reading “#64 – Paper Mâché Dream Balloon by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard”

#63 – Fate by Dr. Dog

Dr. Dog was the last band I saw live before the quarantine started, back on February 27th at The Novo in Los Angeles. It was a great show, as anyone who has ever seen them would expect. I was only introduced to them a few years ago, when some of my best friends, appalled thatContinue reading “#63 – Fate by Dr. Dog”

#62 – Ibn El Leil by Mashrou’ Leila

It takes a lot of courage to be an LGBTQ+ artist in a majority Muslim country. Besides being the first artists to display a pride flag on stage in Lebanon, Mashrou’ Leila has also been temporarily banned from performing in Jordan. In 2019, they were scheduled to perform at the Lebanese Byblos Festival when pressureContinue reading “#62 – Ibn El Leil by Mashrou’ Leila”

#61 – Queer Love Songs by be steadwell

Up until this point, I’ve been happy enough with the daily selection to post my first choice. No more. I’m not going to call out the album or artist that I’m passing on because I don’t think it was completely without merit, plus it feels mean. I honestly would have just gone with it ifContinue reading “#61 – Queer Love Songs by be steadwell”

#60 – Shine by Ryan Cassata

I’m generally not a fan of people putting covers on their albums. It’s a great thing for live shows, but unless you add something interesting to the original song I don’t think it’s a great idea. This album, however, has two covers that I liked. To be fair, I’m not familiar with the Counting Crows’Continue reading “#60 – Shine by Ryan Cassata”
