What Are You Listening To?

David Bowie- Scary Monsters




I think this album is a perfect blending of art-rock and pop

Tricky - Broken Homes 12” promo


Man I just  ❤️ Tricky…  Going to try to purchase his new one this week

All of Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy, Volume 2 that 77 track monster

so far nothing is jumping out at me as being really great, volume 1 seemed a better collection… but it was for a good cause and maybe if i listen to it in chunks I'll find some gems

Genesis - Abacab

Neworder

I've been told that I'm not allowed to play "The Hold Steady or any of your banjo bullshit" on our car ride tomorrow. "Only electronic music, music made by black people, or music made by women."

Fleet Foxes -Shore
Jon Krakauer- Audio book for "Into Thin Air."
Old 97's-Twelfth

you should check out Bette Smith -  The Good, The Bad and the Bette as it meets a couple of those criteria, plus you can sneak in a little Drive-By Truckers as it's produced by their bassist and Patterson makes an appearance.  nice rockin' soul on that album..

Thanks Kosmo. I've been meaning to check that one out, as it seems up my alley.

My daughter's taste is pretty much limited to gangster rap, and my wife wants to be the "cool mom" and listen to it with her. So I doubt rockin' soul will cut it with them…

both your wife and your daughter are OK with all the "bitches" and "hoes" being thrown around?  and the violence?

or has 2020 gangsta rap changed, and now it's about tai chi, putting on masks and protecting global climate?

Seems so. Soft racism of low expectations, I guess. But I'm the "racist" and "rube" because I object to it.

How have you never heard this before now? That album fucking slays.

It’s one of the albums I have heard the most!


I meant to add- I guess- that my family making noise made it hard to listen
