So I guess in 2023, if your full length album is over 35 minutes, then you were indulgent in the studio? I don’t need 77 minutes of music or double albums from everybody, but, some of these new releases go by awfully quick.
Do not sleep on Will Johnson’s new album, “No Ordinary Crown”. Figured that warning might help some folks avoid having to revise their end of year lists at the last minute. Songwriting is fantastic as usual, but the production on this record is so, so good.
My Deluxe “Tim” box arrived today. So I know what I’ll be listening to while working tomorrow. The booklet included made for some great reading this evening.
It would be cool if American Music Club’s pre-“Everclear” recordings were available on streaming services. Just saying. Thankfully still have my old CD copies for whenever I need a fix.
With the various overlapping tracks found on “Hitchhiiker”, “Homegrown”, and “Chrome Dreams” Neil Young’s shelved album masterpieces are starting to get rather confusing for me. They’re all great, but which were actually supposed to be released before being shelved?
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again…this world would be a noticeably better place if more folks listened to Pizzicato Five for an hour every day.
A peaceful trip to Waterloo Records was almost dashed when a dude with terrible BO decided to set up camp right next to me at the new arrivals used bin. It was so bad I had to walk away. Maybe that’s his strategy for vinyl shopping.
