🎵 Nine Lives (2022) by Kendra Morris
Been a long time since Morris released an album and I’m excited!
🎵 Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, the Four Seasons (2014)
Vivaldi had never been my thing. Then I was going through old emails and was reminded that a friend had told me, “Yes, but this is different.” It’s so good.
🎵 Candid (2020) by Whitney
A lovely cover album for a Friday afternoon.
🎵 An Evening with Silk Sonic (2021) by Silk Sonic
Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, and Silk Sonic – seems like a perfect start to a Friday.
🎵 What Kinda Music (2020) by Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes
Was listening to this on repeat today.
🎵 I Don’t Live Here Anymore (2021) by The War on Drugs
🎵 The Dream (2022) by alt-J
It’s finally out. Let’s see how it sounds…
I’m starting to build up a list of my favorite albums as well as tracking those albums that I spend significant time with each year going forward. Thanks to Shawn for some styling help!
(Working with text boxes in blogging software does get a bit tedious and makes me revisit my decision to go with hosted versus self-generated.)
Genius.
🎵 Obviously by Lake Street Dive (2021)
I’ve listened to this 4 or 5 times in the past week. It makes your toes tap! I’d actually say the first 9 songs are near perfect – the last 2 songs kind of take out the steam for me. Maybe that’s intended!
🎵 Brothertiger Plays Tears For Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair (2017)
A friend turned me on to this one. As a Tears for Fears fan, I think Brothertiger does some nice work here.
It’™s been a long time
We shouldn’t have left you
Without a dope beat to step to
🎵
The girls’ band trip was wisely postponed this summer. Thankfully neither of them are seniors and have some school to go…hopefully next year’s trip goes off without a hitch.
Here’s a throwback to @jthess2 and my band trip to Pasadena in 1993. It was enjoyable. No, I don’t have any close up pictures of us or others. You wouldn’t want to see the hairstyles and complexions anyway.
Jesse’s taking me to a concert for which I bought tickets for a year ago for my birthday. She can almost pronounce his name and might know the band he once led. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN!!
`Tis the season.
