Two of the three records are made by artists from Latin America.
Two of the three records were made either in New York City, or very close to it.
Extreme closeup, a deli, smoke cloud.
One ROTM comes from a guy with a name that starts with a W. Another comes from a guy who is also in a group that starts with a W. The final one comes from a guy who added an addendum to his name at a later date.

I personally hope it's Forca Bruta over Africa Brasil, but I rarely get what I want.
That would be awesome too!. Really hoping his album with Gilberto Gil gets a reissue sometime soon too.

For Phoenix, my side A sounds outstanding, but there is a lot of noise on side B, especially noticeable on the quiet sections on the track Rome. Anyone else experience this?
I'm gonna clean the record and give it another spin today, but if nothing changes, I'll contact them. It was sad, bc I was really excited with the dynamics and sound on Side A, and then I flipped it …

Yep - same here. Arrived yesterday. Though, I'd have to say it all looks good...no sleeve damage and flat records. Haven't listed to the Phoenix record yet though, just gave it a spin to check for warps.

So, today's email from VMP pretty much confirms Sleater-Kinney AOTM for August, no?

Was just about to point out the same thing. Hmmm???

Yep, looks like the cat is very much out of the bag for the August Essentials pick. And now I'm totally getting stoked for some new Sleater-Kinney jams. That's a very big get for VMP.

Dig Me Out.
Followed by The Woods.
Then The Hot Rock.
Then just go back and listen to them chronologically.

Let me just take the opportunity to share this. My SK playlist I made for anyone that is new to SK and wants to get into them.
Not that my experience is unique but I didn't appreciate Dig Me Out nearly as much until I listened to The Woods.
The Woods is phenomenal.

"Start Together" came on during my commute into work this morning and had me reconsidering whether or not I think "The Hot Rock" is their best album. And I think I do! It also made me think that I'm probably also selling "All Hands..." short because that album is soooo good too. I mean, Youth Decay! But it's still probably appropriately fourth or fifth on my list.
