George Carlin – Occupation: Foole



First spin! My friend won this at a comedy show pre-covid and doesn't have a player so he gave this to me a little over a year ago but I hadn't spun it yet because I generally favour music. But I do love me some Carlin, so this is nice.

Errr.... well some of it hasn't aged well at all, actually.

MGMT - Little Dark Age



One of the best sounding pop adjacent albums I have. 2xLP over ~44min probably has something to do with it. That being said, it could've been cut at 45RPM too...

Billie Eilish - Live at Third Man Records



A cute, intimate performance. She's gifted.

Alice Coltrane - Lord of Lords



To an unfamiliar listener, I can understand this being difficult to tolerate. But the orchestra is key to this album's power.

Julia Holter - Loud City Song (signed)



One of my top50 all-time, #3 to be specific.
This is the one that changed my musical tastes forever and for the better. Despite stumbling upon this in 2017, four years after it was released, I had never heard anything resembling it prior...the album's atmosphere unfolded like that of an introverted sanctuary, totally apart from the one that I reside in. It encompasses the vast majority of genres that I find comfort in now. Not one second of this record feels out of place. Loud City Song has its challenging moments ("Maxims II" and "Horns Surrounding Me"), and yet so very accessible with passages of serenity ("Hello Stranger" and "City Appearing" come to mind). I find her voice to be among the most whimsical, delightful, and yet arresting I've ever heard.
Her stop in Portland was the first concert I saw in '19 and also was the first time I ever got records signed, the best case of musical serendipity that I can think of. Speaking of that, I MISS YOUUUUUU

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless



Glad to see these are being kept in print by the band. Perhaps not one of my personal all time favorites, but to say it hasn't earned a rightful place in my library would be silly.
