Babblin' Bangers

Babbled about the bridge between mid-Beatles and mad-Beatles.

Babbled about this seemingly by the numbers modern jazz record that has a lot of punch between the lines. It's blissful, it's catchy, it can be the jazz album that makes you like jazz.

Babbled about the soundtrack of being a baby angel alien.

Babbled about Paulinho da Viola's Nervos de Aço, translated as "Nerves of Steel" by Little Paul of the Guitar. He's known as the prince of samba and the sambista of sambistas amongst his peers, It’s a fine display of how elegant samba can be.

Babbled about this posthumous album produced by Leonard's son with the help of a cast of musicians that were profoundly shaped by the man's work. Most of his vocals were recorded with him in a convalescent condition, but it doesn't sound patched up or forced in any way; it's a beautiful love letter from a son to his dad through music. Thank you, Leonard, thank you.

Babbled about braids on a flannel jacket.

Babbled about this late 90s folk record that is responsible for the creation of Ed Sheeran, James Blunt and Damien Rice. It's him, he did it.

Babbled about how to let it all out.

Babbled about this lo-fi folk album that sustains itself purely by Sam Beam's delicate harmony building and evocative songwriting chops. I love how it uses the beautiful wonders of nature as a backdrop; and often metaphors, for romantic bewilderment and ideation. It's the perfect album to hear when you're on that hopeful phase about someone, when they sudden develop that glow about them. It's for that time when you still can remember how their eyes moved around when the first moment of true silence between you two first broke and you tried to breath in the feeling of having her looking at you like: the feeling of someone just being next to you, there, wondering about what you really made of and not worried about how that looks or sounds. And you do the same to them, but in your case it's an embittered feeling because you know something like this could never last. So you just take that moment, you just file that moment away and you think about it when you listen to this record. I don't know, maybe that's just me.

Babbled about the girl that left the Musk.
