Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Checking out whether I need the new reissue, but I'm pretty happy with this. Sounds great even for a tightly-crammed single disc

Francis Cabrel - Les Chemins de Traverse
Sacre bleu! This is great stuff. Francis Cabrel is a sort of French Bob Dylan and I fell hard for him when I was an undergraduate in Paris but with his more recent releases. Thanks to the generosity of @ChristoBee who bought this just to PIF it, I've been enjoying this mix of beautiful lyrics and funkier music than I expected, all from the year of my birth (1979). Really nice pressing too.

Don't forget to watch the weird Netflix video/experience with it later! I personally didn't care for this album overall, but I do like the big shift and general new adventurous direction for Sturgill. I hope he irons out some of the kinks and his next album is a true career defining piece.This album is an interesting psychological test;

I have to say that I love it; sort of ZZ Top's Afterburner remade for 2019. What worries me is that I think I'd have bought anything with that album cover- the collected speeches of Bill Gates, The greatest Gregorian Chant album.... Ever!, an Ed Sheeran release, the possibilities are endless and horrifying. Just as well I've not admitted this in publi....
Shit.
