March Music

Music I’ve bought in March.

Hey! After a couple of slow months, I finally bought a whole bunch of new albums.

I bought the Black & Blue box set:

It’s fun reading the reviews of this set, because they all add exactly the same sentence somewhere: “Of course, this is nobody’s favourite Stones album, but…”

It’s my favourite Stones album! So that feels very affirming — it means that I have better taste, right?

There’s a big book included, and it has a font size that’s very kind to the eyes of the intended demographics.

I feel they went a bit over-board here and there, but the concern is appreciated!

The Tomeika Reid album is indeed very bouncy.

Steven Brown’s new album is very nice.

Sly Dunbar died a few months ago, so I bought this stylish album:

It’s pretty good. But not as good as the cover.

The Chat Pile live album is a lot of fun.

There’s a new Notwist album. I’ve only had time to listen to it a couple times, but I think it’s their best in years? Probably?

Espen Reinertsen finally has a new album out. It feels like a decade since the last one, and that’s because it is — it’s been way too long!

This one, too, I’ve only had the chance to listen to a couple times yet, but I think it’s good stuff.

Ditto ditto with the Dagmar Zuniga album — I like the sound a lot, but I’ll have to listen to it more times…

And I’m continuing to buy everything Up Ya Archives releases. 1992 is back!
