A friendly PSA for anyone thinking of checking out the new A7X album.... DON'T. Don't waste your time. It is hot garbage and surely one of the worst albums of 2023..
Damn, the new Foo Fighters album was a surprise. Best one from them in a minute. Obviously, Taylor's passing is the central focus. But Dave's songwriting on this one was excellent. The last two tracks are perfection.
I'm thinking of going against the norm and putting together a mid-year list sometime by May 31st. I've been in such a new music funk the past two months and June is packed and is looking to be a turning point in the year for me (hopefully). I feel like I need put the list out early as a good omen for the rest of the year, lol.
Just finished my first listen to the new album from Bell Witch, Future's Shadow Part 1: Clandestine Gate, which dropped this past Friday. The single-track, 83-minute album is a close brother of 2017's single-track, 83-minute album, Mirror Reaper, in shear scope, disparity, epicness, and emotionality.
Finally getting around to listening to the BCNRLive at Bush Hall record. Very much enjoyed it. But I'm not sure what to do with it...? I never put live albums on AOTY lists, etc. But this one is all new material.. Maybe I make an exception with this one..
Model/Actriz has a gig in Chicago on 4/6. I kinda/really wanna go, but I know my wife isn't in to them. It's about a 2 hour drive one way for me. And it's a late show (see, I'm trying to talk myself out of it already...). I just haven't been to a show since Feb 2020 right before Covid hit...
