What's Spinning

[avecigrec]

It's a vast improvement over Teatro, no?

Hugely.
Thankfully.

It's like you are building up to something!

Definitely seems like it! Hopefully this is all building up to something big

Mitski- Laurel Hell

I’ve also been doing a Mitski discography listen waiting for her new album to show up. Haven’t gotten to Be the Cowboy yet, but have enjoyed revisiting the other three. Puberty 2 is still my favorite, although Bury Me at Makeout Creek is a close second.

I have such a hard time ranking these three albums because she is just so consistent and I’m never happy with how I rank them. I think Puberty 2 has no low points but the highs aren’t as high as some of her other albums. Make Out Creek has her best 3 track run (townie -> late Spring -> Francis) and side A is literally perfect but it loses steam a bit on side B. Cowboy has some songs I wish she expanded on a bit but they are also perfect in their brevity

As of tonight my ranking is
1. Cowboy
2. Make Out Creek
3. Puberty 2

But that will absolutely change next time I listen to them lol

And then Laurel Hell is there also

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

This is such a good live record and this version of 'New Sensations' will totally get you arrested.

Fernando Saunders on that fretless electric bass is just sublime...



Lou Reed - Perfect Night Live In London

I *like* Be the Cowboy but for whatever reason it doesn’t stick with me like her first two.

Laurel Hell has a looseness and fragility that I appreciate, though in an objective sense it’s probably her weakest record. It effectively captures the feeling of emerging from the wilderness of writers block in a very vulnerable and human way, and I love her for making it.

Holey shit, y’all!

Neil Young- Freedom

This sounds absolutely amazing. Floored. This and Teatro are proof that giving music room to breathe on vinyl is important.

Also, this is low key his most underrated album.
