talking in small detail about a handful of releases I missed from Q1 (January - March)

shoutout to my good friend Stephen for suggesting I do this one; this has been a fun experience that’s helped me not feel like such an old man. (albums in picture are just chronological, not my order.)

had some audio issues halfway through but to quote our pal Rex, “who cares?” // Alex Cameron - Oxy Music // Rex Orange County - Who Cares? // Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez, See Your Future // KAINA - It Was a Home // Widowspeak - The Jacket

I had a lot of fun doing this. one of my new favorite bands. some of the most talented musicianship in the rock scene of the last 30 some years & that’s an understatement. (albums in photo are not my ranking, just chronological order.)

Black Country, New Road - Ants from Up There // Mitski - Laurel Hell // Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You // Caroline Loveglow - Strawberry // Animal Collective - Time Skiffs

this is a big one! one of my all time favorite bands. ranking the albums from least favorite to favorite. stay tuned if you wanna hear me progressively lose my mind.

The Weeknd - Dawn FM // Etta Marcus - View from the Bridge // Earl Sweatshirt - Sick! // The Kernal - Listen to the Blood // Dope Lemon - Rose Pink Cadillac

ranking from least favorite to favorite record // meant to do this a week ago and instead I got the ‘cove but now I’m back! thanks for being patient.
