We’re back on the albums again! Part TWENTY SEVEN 40-31.


-

This week features Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Carole King, 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***

Poem of the One World



This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water

and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to

where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else

which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.



-by Mary Oliver

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 30 ALBUMS TO GO!!! Good gracious!

(I’m *really 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.

Get some rest.

I’ll see you back live on Monday,

C :)
