We’re back on the albums again! Part TWENTY SIX, 50-41.

-

That’s right, we’re heading into the top 50 albums (!)


-

This week features Johnny Cash, The Roots, Cocteau Twins, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;)

Not quite enough time for Poetry Time on Albums eps per usual. Here’s the written version for you:

***Today’s Poetry Time***

I Did Think, Let's Go About This Slowly



I did think, let's go about this slowly.
This is important. This should take
some really deep thought. We should take
small thoughtful steps.



But, bless us, we didn't.

To honor the top 100 albums (and my favorite poet), the poems for the rest of this series will all be coming from Mary Oliver :)

ONLY 40 ALBUMS TO GO!!! How is that possible.

(I’m *really* going to miss this project once we’re through.)

Onward and upward we continue.

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.

Take extra care of your mental health. Please stay safe on this long weekend!

I’ll see you back live on Monday,

C :)
