Chuck, I suspect we could spend a long day spinning records together quite easily!

3 really good records were also released last Friday

S.G. Goodman—Teeth Marks

Angel Olsen—Big Time

Fantastic Negrito—White Jesus, Black problems

All vying for playing time

And check out Sylvia Rose Novak

I've been digging the S.G. Goodman too.
She's basically local to me. She's from Hickman, Kentucky, which is a tiny little town in extreme western Kentucky just across the Tennessee line.

Certainly hyperbolic, but a very good power pop record/artist. Curious to hear your impressions.

You have it exactly right. Very good, a very enjoyable listen but not quite as advertised. I will continue to listen and I imagine this band will join my figurative "power pop rotation" which is, I guess, the bottom line.

Weekend recap

I love this album. Probably in my top five of the year.

Sounds like a heavy metal album, clams. The title, I mean, not the actual sound.

Sun Kil Moon - Benji. Always loved this album.

you take alicе b. toklas and gertrude stein
put 'em all together and what do you find?

First listen but still a bit too early to say much about it other than I agree with what others have said in that this one is going to take some time to sink in. Leading up to this first listen I’ve avoided digging too deep into the album beyond a few songs. Same for reading too much about it, though a lot of that is unavoidable to a degree. There’s no going back to it without a self-imposed social media blackout but I sort of miss the days when I knew next to nothing about an album prior to its release other than maybe hearing a single or reading a review. I say that only because I believe sometimes knowing too much about an album beforehand might alter my initial impression of it. On the other hand, sometimes it may be helpful. In this case, I’ve read some things about a few of these songs ahead of time that I doubt I would have known about otherwise or would have figured out on my own just from listening to them.

I'm not sure what would give you that impression. I was referring to before I went online.

I remember a while back I popped in to post a clip of Sierra Farrell. You welcomed me back with a warm greeting. However, since I've started posting more regularly again it appears you still have some sort of issue with me. What's up with that?

Parts of this are country tinged as expected but is pretty much on the mellow side throughout. I've only listened once so far so perhaps I'll warm up to it but at this stage I'm preferring My Woman which is the only other Angel album I own.
