SASAMI "squeeze" 2022
from one of the EOY lists...
from LaLa Land...
classically trained on the French Horn and performed in various Orchestras...
also plays guitar, keyboards and bass...
second album...
opens up with something that wouldnt sound out of place on a Marilyn Manson album..
quickly evolves into rock and a ballad, alternative and hits of pop/country and a classical instrumental piece...
a solid album every bit as good as the cover art IMO
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
one of the singles: "make it right" SASAMI - Make It Right (Official Video) - YouTube
simply gorgeous voice on this one:

NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING BIRDS "the best of: back the way we came vol.1" cd, 2021
2cd set of his post-Oasis singles up to that point (18 in total on here)...
i have the 3cd set with a bonus disc of remixes/demo's etc but not posting those ones...
an eclectic set of songs here, from Oasis sounding tunes through acoustic, vaudevillian, Kink-esque, dance/disco,
even a 'doof doof' almost 'industrial' type song...
nothing on here that could or would possibly attract new fans but certainly sits nicely alongside his Oasis catalogue as a bunch of cool singles.
impressive set overall...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
cd1:
1: everybody's on the run ***
2: the death of you and me ***
3: AKA...what i life ***
4: if i had a gun **
5: in the heat of the moment **
6: riverman **
7: lock all the doors ***
8: the dying of the light *
9: ballad of the mighty I **
10: we're on our way now **
cd2:
1: black star dancing **
2: holy mountain ***
3: a dream is all i need to get by **
4: this is the place **
5: its a beautiful world *

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS "dig!!! lazerus dig!!!" cd, 2008
a revisit
their fourteenth studio album
quite commercial sounding by their standards
some fantastic bass lines and guitar riffs throughout
sounds almost 'post-punk' in places...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
What we once thought we had we didn't, and what we have now will never be that way again
So we call upon the author to explain
Our myxomatoid kids spraddle the streets, we've shunned them from the greasy-grind
The poor little things, they look so sad and old as they mount us from behind
I ask them to desist and to refrain
And then we call upon the author to explain
Rosary clutched in his hand, he died with tubes up his nose
And a cabal of angels with finger cymbals chanted his name in code
We shook our fists at the punishing rain
And we call upon the author to explain
He said everything is messed up around here, everything is banal and jejune
There is a planetary conspiracy against the likes of you and me in this idiot constituency of the moon
Well, he knew exactly who to blame
And we call upon the author to explain
Prolix! Prolix! Nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!
Prolix! Prolix! Nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!
Well, I go guruing down the street, young people gather round my feet
Ask me things, but I don'r know where to start
They ignite the power-trail ssstraight to my father's heart
And once again I call upon the author to explain
We call upon the author to explain
Who is this great burdensome slavering dog-thing that mediocres my every thought?
I feel like a vacuum cleaner, a complete sucker, it's fucked up and he is a fucker
But what an enormous and encyclopaedic brain
I call upon the author to explain
Oh rampant discrimination, mass poverty, third world debt, infectious diseease
Global inequality and deepening socio-economic divisions
Well, it does in your brain
And we call upon the author to explain
Now hang on, my friend Doug is tapping on the window (Hey Doug, how you been?)
Brings me back a book on holocaust poetry complete with pictures
Then tells me to get ready for the rain
And we call upon the author to explain
I say prolix! Prolix! Something a pair of scissors can fix
Bukowski was a jerk! Berryman was best!
He wrote like wet papier mache, went the Heming-way weirdly on wings and with maximum pain
We call upon the author to explain
Down in my bolthole I see they've published another volume of unreconstructed rubbish
"The waves, the waves were soldiers moving". Well, thank you, thank you, thank you
And again I call upon the author to explain
Yeah, we call upon the author to explain
Prolix! Prolix! There's nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!

THE ORIELLES "tableau" 2022
Deezer listen:
a recommendation from an online YouTube friend...
he rates this as his "album of the year" for 2022...
UK band
fourth studio album
dream-pop, ambient electro-pop is what he calls it...
i think it sounds like Radiohead/Thom Yorke in more than a few places so i call it crap...
best thing about it is the cover art (which incidently, i love)...
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
the latest single

COLDPLAY "parachutes" cd, 2000.
a revisit...
their debut of nine...
i own five...
one of the best debut albums ever IMO...
no pretentiousness here just solid alt-rock, almost Britpop in places...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
one of the singles other than "yellow"

ALANIS MORISSETTE "jagged little pill" cd, 1995
a revisit...
her third of ten, first two were Canadian only releases...
one of three albums that reignited my interest in music after a near bleak decade for me (87-94)...
love the style, the attitude, the lyrics and vocals on here.
love every track also.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
the single that started it all:
RE: What Are You Listening To? - Ruby - 05-02-2023
AMANDA SHIRES - Take It Like A Man
![[Image: 220px-Amanda_Shires_Take_It_Like_A_Man_cover.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/29/Amanda_Shires_Take_It_Like_A_Man_cover.jpg/220px-Amanda_Shires_Take_It_Like_A_Man_cover.jpg)
Missed this when it was released in late July 2022. Can't call it country - or folk - or rock, so here it is. She's an interesting artist - like a ribald version of Dolly Parton - plays a mean fiddle, and has a Masters degree in poetry. Good voice too. Check out these lyrics ...
Like a common loon I started hearing birds
Birdsong everywhere a lark in the shower
From the night to the morning after
Warblers and wrens, hymn at my throat
Shook and quivering, I could have crowed
Oh I could have crowed
I was snared by your wrist
I know what the cost is
The octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I could take it like a man
I know I could take it like a man
Falls of fascinations the sky was leaking light
Like your eyes do that shipwrecked expression
I need more words for blue
Trilling in the tree the way I measure you
Fractured thirteenths that grin that you give
When you want me to quit
Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man
There are some tracks are that gentle, some not. She's saying what she wants to say - no holds barred - supported by very capable fellow musicians, arranged the strings herself and is responsible for all the writing either solely or in collaboration. Sometimes a little old timey and sometimes right up to the minute. Wonder if MH might be inclined to this album??
She's married to Jason Isbell and has appeared on several albums with him - he's on this one too along with several others. I have noticed and liked what appears to be intuitive playing of the violin on her part - live at least. I'm not sure I'd add this to my collection but there are a couple of numbers here that will stay with me, for sure.
The lead - "Hawk for the Dove" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmotVv9vjq0
The final track - "Everything has it's Time" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGEjct2bDDI
And the the title track ...
RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 05-02-2023
^^
three good tracks there Ruby.
kicking myself for missing this one last year but i guess we cannot discover everything can we?
