I haven't listened yet. I thought Cruel Country was pretty good, after about three duds in a row. Plus two or three dud solo records.

Seems to be on par with the last decade+…. Unlikely it will get much more airtime at Casa de Yada.

going on 20 years since a wilco album that I would consider getting a rotation a few months after it's release

The Empty Hearts

just flat out great rock records

Will definitely get plenty of listens.

Sky Blue Sky (2007) and the Whole Love (2011) are both excellent albums.

Joe Jackson - Jumpin' Jive

Haven't listened to this in far to long…

Finding these music challenge hashtags is providing to a full on distraction… was reminded of this one via #DeepCuts1980s  on the former bird site, seeing some really solid choices via it so far.

Playlist re-creating this recent compilation from Ace Records compiled by Bob Stanley

Latin Freestyle - New York/ Miami 1983 - 1992

probably too many dance chart toppers for hutch on this one

Elisapie - Inuktitut

Canadian Inuk musician whose new album is covers all sung in Inuit.

https://elisapie.bandcamp.com/album/inuktitut

While consisting of the well known classics, they are all done in a very refreshing new way.

But as an album, Grapetooth feels like pressing ‘Play’ on those same recordings the morning after and realizing that maybe it all wasn’t quite as fun as you thought last night.

LOL Pitchfork.

I only discovered this because a band that kind of disappeared post pandemic was Twin Peaks… this is one of their side projects and it's not bad at all.

Piazzolla- 57 Minutos Con La Realidad

I guess his last recordings from 1989 before the stroke incapacitated him and he died in 1992.

Really his last 16 minutes of studio recordings padded by a contemporaneous live recording. Not sure the raison d’etre for this record. Kip Hanrahan who put it together seems ambivalent about it.
