Music I’ve bought in May.
Hey, I bought a lot of stuff this month. Let’s see…
I’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.
The Prostitute album is really good. Which reminds me that I’ve also got an album by WHORES:
And Sex Worker:
Anyway!
The 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…
The Ninajirachi album is so much fun. Lots of crunchy hyperpopish things, but also:
Awww. That such a sweet song.
The new Peaches album is the filthiest thing ever. But is it good? Hm…
The Black Jazz sampler album from Soul Jazz records is insanely good.
On 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!
But OK — I can’t argue with this one. It’s pretty magical.
OK, that’s it. It’s been a busy month.
