May 16 - UFO
Pixies - Bossanova
The track "The Happening" is all about UFO experiences... "They got a ranch they call Number 51..." Plus, the spacey cover fits the UFO vibe.
May 15 - Children of the Sun
Moon Duo - Stars are the Light
There's something child-like about the artwork, plus the title track and "The World and the Sun" have solar themes.
May 13 - My Favorite Things
St. Vincent - All Born Screaming
One of my favorite, though occasional, things is stopping by my local on the way home and picking up a new slab of wax, like I did with this album this morning.
May 10 - Where Pathways Meet
Baroness - Purple
With the closing track "Crossroads of Infinity," which at 17 seconds long is just a spoken quote from a Fantastic Four comic.
May 8 - Advice To Medics
Iron & Wine - Light Verse
Accidentally skipped this prompt, so here's one out of order. I'm making this one work by connecting the prompt to album closer "Angels Go Home," which is what a medic is trying to make the angel of death do- go home without this person...
It's really good in the dependable Four Tet way- like it won't blow your mind or anything, but he's just so good at what he does. Great music for reading on the couch, too.
I was at a game last night where the home team (Monterey Bay FC) lost the lead in the 89th min, then scored the equalizer in the 90th. Emotional whiplash.
