Music I’ve bought in May.
Hey, I bought a lot of stuff this month. Let’s see…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVgbDP8yEz0I’ve seen lots of people dismiss the new Kim Gordon album like “well, the previous album was amusing and stuff, but now there’s a new one with the same thing?! WE”RE DISAPPOINT!!1!” But it’s so wrong. The new album is nothing like the previous album. The new album is pure genius. Almost every single track is a banger.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVXnLttNfp0The Prostitute album is really good. Which reminds me that I’ve also got an album by WHORES:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxXH4eVuRPgAnyway!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6lg8qOV4IIThe new Irreversible Entanglements album is… well, it’s disappointing. I mean, it’s fine, I like it — but previous albums were so exciting, and this is just… fine…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxekyGtqcNEThe Ninajirachi album is so much fun. Lots of crunchy hyperpopish things, but also:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVael41xx5gAwww. That such a sweet song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z1hbMzt2hQThe new Peaches album is the filthiest thing ever. But is it good? Hm…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxbHAE4EOBcThe Black Jazz sampler album from Soul Jazz records is insanely good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lt68RnZU5kOn the first of May, I watched some old concert footage of Veslefrikk, and I decided to buy all their albums. They’re great — their first album is obviously very Tom Robinson Band influenced, but with more strident lyrics. Typical sample:
But what they call freedom
Is their freedom
To subjugate uuuuuus
I love it.
I also got this…
Which is notable for the liner notes, which describe the instruments in detail…
And is very informative.
I’ve also been buying 70s “music oriented radio” music lately, like… Joan Armatrading? But I may have gone one step too far with this British compilation of music popular on BBC early morning radio.
It’s horrible! It’s like the worst “uplifting” music ever. I hate it!

OK, that’s it. It’s been a busy month.
