This artist was featured in the Spin magazine column Top 5 Albums I Can’t Live Without this week, which was penned by Radiohead drummer Philip Selway ahead of the release of his new solo album. Lisa was a contributer to his first solo album, Familial, and he wrote so effusively about her work as bothContinue reading “#1009 – Lullaby for Liquid Pig by Lisa Gerimano”

I first learned of this band through the 2004 documentary Dig, which chronicled their relationship with The Dandy Warhols. Basically, the gist of us was that people (including, it seems, The Dandy Warhols themselves) felt that these guys were more talented songwriters, but their career was severely handicapped by the on and off stage anticsContinue reading “#1008 – The Future is Your Past by Brian Jonestown Massacre”

This is the first of four, season-themed albums that Weezer put out last year. This one was released on April 20, 2022 to coincide with the spring equinox. The concept seems a little gimmicky, but I’m going to reserve judgement until I hear the other three installments.

It’s a silly reason to pick an album, but I was watching an episode of the Australian kids’ cartoon show Bluey that was titled fruit bat today. Despite that, this is a really solid album.

This is a fantastic album by one half of the LA based duo KNOWER along with Genevieve Artadi. I don’t know what else to say about it except that I loved it and you should give it a listen. It’s got a little something for everyone.

This Texas duo of Michael A Muller and Rob Lowe(not that one) founded Balmorhea in 2006, adding their own take on the post-rock instrumental genre. Whenever I’m having trouble picking an album, I look up Sigur Ros and see what comes up in the “fans also like” section. That method has yet to fail me.

Roxy Music emerged in the 70’s, combining the different musical sensibilities of Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry. Though the original lineup was only together for two albums, they laid the groundwork for and inspired quite the array of artists, from glam rock to new wave.

I’m a huge fan of Wes Anderson, most of whose films I’ve loved, not least because of the fantastic soundtracks and scores contributed by Mark Mothersbaugh. These eclectic collections are how I was introduced to all kinds of artists, like Scott Walker, whose song 30th Century Man was featured in The Life Aquatic.

We’re on a family vacation to Mexico this week, which adds a level of complication to listening to my album. Admittedly, after the amount of poolside cocktails that were consumed this afternoon, I forgot to pick an album until quite late in the day. Boy, would it be embarrassing do break the streak just oneContinue reading “#1001 – Extra Welt Hits by Extrawelt”

I can’t believe that I’ve been doing this long enough to get to 1000 albums. This project, which became a small, daily accomplishment and writing exercise during the Covid lockdown, has truly become a defining part of my daily routine. I know there’s not a ton of people out there going on this listening odysseyContinue reading “#1000 – The ConstruKction of Light by King Crimson”
