I jinxed it in my review by saying that my iPod was one of my most precious valuables. Dropped and broken as of yesterday. I have no idea if IT repair shops deal with bootleg iPod classics, 'bout to find out when they open. Very depressed right now.
I like how all five reviews dealt with the basic question of how much one is willing to engage vis-à-vis the non-English lyrics. Everyone is on the same page this week.
Idle thought: I wonder what the most recent "essential reggae album" is. L'Africain feels a lot more modern than, say, Bob Marley, but it's still almost 20 years old. I wonder if there are still innovations being made in the genre/scene, and I wonder how I would find out about such a thing.
Certified Good Album, will take some time to consider where it ranks in the Sunny selection Hall of Champions / how much it does or does not sound like Khruangbin.
Might not take too much time to consider, since Zach picked it. Regardless of whether that was a typo or not, I think we can all agree this was better than Khruangbin.
What Khruangbin album did RC listen to? They are a great band and I actually made a friend in a bar over the holidays because she was wearing a Khruangbin tour shirt, haha. It’s the only reason I approached her
A LA SALA. Don't worry, the "I think we can all agree" was facetious. Those who are bored by Khruangbin are definitely in the minority. (Also, I think Nate was making an oblique reference to the offense that he took when Zach compared Talking Heads to Khruangbin.)
I was kneecapped by this album not being on Apple Music! I now can fully empathize with oppression.
Music streaming services are a pox upon society.
It's amazing how much LORE poyb has collected over the months
This is an incredible tragedy, and I'm saying that without a trace of irony
@ Sunny re: iPod — Thanks for your sympathy, friend. Etsy dude that I bought it from originally got back to me and apparently I can send it to him for repairs too. I'll keep y'all updated in this space!!!!!!!!!!
Of all the albums I've picked, I think this is the first one that is a choice of the people as a truly "good album." I loved reading the reviews. Joe and Gloria went to unexpected places that made me want to read more and more and more.
You're probably right about this being the best-reviewed album that you've chosen, but this is only true because people severely underrated Magic Toaster and Viv & Riley. History will reveal in time how RC fucked up with those great albums.
