We’re back on the albums again! Part Nine, 220-211.

This week features The Magnetic Fields, Grace Jones, Fugazi and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;)

I did ev thing I could, but there was so much in this week! Both to listen to (our longest album so far!) and to talk about. Alas I purposely let go of Poetry Time again, but I always choose one as a part of the structure of the show and I still want to share (it’s another untitled):

****I also said I’d mention more of the songs that were noteworthy to me from a particular one of the albums, which you’re already aware of if you’re here looking for this. I’m not going to give the title or the artist so as not to ruin the surprise for those who may read the description in advance of listening to the album. No extra spoilers!

Here’s a few additional tracks from that one to consider:

-Punk Love, really fun
-Parades Go By sounds like a 70s classic ballad
-Sweet-Lovin Man has one of my favorite instruments again, the flute!

Have fun with it ;)

Oh it’s a major endeavor, alright.

I’m going to try to listen to at least 10 albums a week for the rest of the year!

Yeah, I’m not joking.

Media, art, and entertainment publication Paste Magazine came out with a list of the 300 best albums and we’re going to go through them all! Well, I’m going to.

And then we’re going to talk about it! Great tracks, themes, history, info, related artists, cultural context, personal experiences- they’re all going to play a part in these reviews.

Totally stoked because I love music. (And a little intimidated! Because this is a lot to process)

-

If we keep up with an episode per week featuring 10 albums each, we’ll just about finish by the end of 2024.


We’re doing this! Yay!! Thrilled you’re along for the ride.

I’ll see you Monday,
