“And he says “Call me Miscreation”

Took me a couple tries to get fully into it, however I can safely say it did manage to stick the landing in the end. A little bit of filler.

“You don’t have to look at me
You don’t have to smile at me
You just have to love me ‘til the sun shines”

My fondness of this album improving with each listen, The Kinks deliver a mellow and memorable piece of work, which I can tell is very sonically ahead of its time- so much so that this record has inspired me to make a chronological list of the RS500, just to put some of the releases into ... read more

#479 Rolling Stone’s “Greatest 500 Albums of All Time”

“Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” 😎

A very interesting delve into the Mexican tejano cumbia genre.
A massive shame that the world did not get to experience more of Selana and her music, likely having only just begun scratching the surface of her experimentation, creativity and influence.
Spoken words by the band at the end of the album was fascinating to listen to, and shed some light on some of the the creative ... read more

“In my pink sunglasses
Always makes the world look a little better”

Not much I have to say about this album apart from the fact that it’s a pretty nice sounding country album that is probably a bit lengthy, albeit many of the strong tracks appear on the second disc.

“If they follow you

Melancholic and introspective, Belle and Sebastian present an interesting and sonically pleasing album that provides the listener with enigmatic and bittersweet lyrics.

“She keeps on passin meeee byyyy”

“But in the cultural sense, I just speak in future tense

Going into this I was already aware this wouldn’t be my favourite Gaga album, however this fact didn’t take away at all from how positive the first listening experience was, positively subverting any prior expectations I may have had regarding the contents of this LP.

-RS500 UPDATE-
I found myself not enjoying the list at the forced pace I was going, and was finding myself being actively disappointed at the albums I would see next on the list, despite the point of this challenge for me being to explore new avenues and genres of music I hadn’t previously heard. So to provide myself I more optimistic approach I took a month hiatus and now will soak up each album as I get them ... read more
