The Microphones - The Glow, Pt. 2
NR
CLASSIC

On one of the most horrific days of American history was released a particularly profound and special album.

The Microphones beautifully articulate a person's state of mind in the wake of trauma on this larger than life record bolstered by its memorable melodies and lyrics. The out-of-body experience and overwhelming despair conflicting with the subtle wish to feel alive again all start to make sense...

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
NR
Decent.

FAVORITE TRACKS: DON'T STOP, ELIZABETH MY DEAR.

Kurt Vile - Back to Moon Beach
NR
This was my introduction to the ex-member of The War of Dugs, and I'm nothing but eager to explore his entire solo discography. I had a blast with this EP, that shouldn't be an EP.

FAVORITE TRACKS: ANOTHER GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES, BACK TO MOON BEACH, BLUES COME FOR SOME, TOM PETTY'S GONE (BUT TELL HIM I ASKED FOR HIM).

It's Immaterial - Life's Hard and Then You Die
NR
Interesting production choices are rare on 'Life's Hard and Then You Die'.

FAVORITE TRACKS: DRIVING AWAY FROM HOME (JIM'S TUNE), THE BETTER IDEA, ED'S FUNKY DINER, HANG ON SLEEPY TOWN.

Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou - Éthiopiques 21: Ethiopia Song (Piano Solo)
NR
After learning that Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou was Robin Pecknold's top artist on Spotify through his Instagram stories, I decided to give this highly rated compilation a spin, and now I wonder if Robin is in dire need of better quality sleep or if we should expect a more piano-oriented Fleet Foxes album soon?

FAVORITE TRACK: THE SONG OF THE SEA.

H Hunt - Playing Piano for Dad
NR
Soothing. Will I replay it? Probably not.

About

DJ F!re B!rd here with some new beats!

The ultimate SufSTAN Stevens.

I DON'T RATE, I REVIEW (as much as possible).

MY BIGGEST FLEX: I MET PHIL ELVERUM IN PERSON TWO TIMES AND TOOK FIVE PICTURES WITH HIM (probably the greatest accomplishment of my life).

Just a wannabe music nerd.

We might not always agree, but that's just the beauty of a democracy baby! ;-)

Doot doola doot doo...
