Canon Fodder #4: Seek Sound Shelter
Do you buy decades old physical releases on Bandcamp Friday? I do! Here's four I got last time, in general order of descending enthusiasm.
The Best Of The 90's That Pitchfork Forgot!
Almost one hundred of Pitchfork's Best Songs Of The 90s appear on Pitchfork's Best Albums Of The 90s. Here's 30 albums & 100 songs they could have given some shine to instead.
How I Like Hot Chip: The Playlist
Giving it up for Hot Chip, dance-pop's drollest daddies, still bringing that freakout/release in 2022.
Canon Fodder #3: Icing Sugar
Five alterna-albums I've recently (re)purchased. In descending order of preference, but they're all dandy.
I Finally Watched I'm Thinking Of Ending Things!
Just because a Charlie Kaufman Netflix movie is two years old doesn't mean I can't write about it!
I Almost Bought A Billy Joel Album!
I know I need some ironically appreciated anthems of romantic codependency and the outer boroughs. But two discs? Hmm...
The Darkness, One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back: Albums I Just Love So Much
Fondly recalling a 2005 classic about the frailty of man and the guitars that are, like, double guitars.
I Finally Watched Twin Peaks! All Of It!
A damn fine hot take more than twenty years in the making.
Canon Fodder #2: I'll Be Satisfied
Six recent CD purchases: budget compilations and bloated double CDs I was too good for fifteen years ago. In descending order of enthusiasm.
I Watched Half Of The Sandman!
Did it live up to a photo of David Thewlis eating ice cream? Read and find out!
