Album of the Day 344
Greatest Albums of all Time 948/10000
Pretty impressive 53-point climb from what remind me of an Argentine U2. From polished New Wave to Big Music epicness, this 1997 concert covers an incredible range.

One of the best kept secrets in our technically oriented culture is that simply speaking truth heals.

Isn't the collapse of Grand Narratives itself a Grand Narrative?
This is 100% happening.

2. This is up from #997 on March 25, a solid 44-point uptick, garnering an additional 1246 ratings in under a month, suggesting there is a thirst for this kind of sprawling, epic, prog-adjacent post-rock at the moment.

The Newfound Interest in Connecticut - Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home
The Greatest Albums of all Time 953/5000
Bastard child of A Silver Mt. Zion & Slint, the Long Dark Path is twisty, shouty millennial post-rock.

I like her less and less every time i see her.
It really can be a struggle.
Still liking Big Mistakes okay, but I still somewhat feel that the unlikable/likable character ratio is a little out of whack, as is far too common in too much modern TV.
Oh cool, thanks! Checking that one out. Will add to the list!

Album of the Day 342
Ghost-Note - Swagism
Psychedelic jazz/funk from members of Snarky Puppy strikes a balance between deep-fried acid funk, afrobeats, and spiritual jazz. Hypnotic and deep.

A shot from Ring, showing Yoichi, a young boy, and Ryuji, a middle-aged man. They each hold an umbrella in the middle of the rain along a city street and stare at one another.
I also remember loving this shot so much.
And being creeped out by the pictures with the distorted faces.
Related but unrelated, I remember one of the earliest times being scared as a kid was people disappearing from pictures in back to the Future. That freaked me out so bad. #folkhorrorfriday
It's so good!
There's a ton of great stuff on there. And more being added every day.
Makes me want to listen to more old Rune Grammofon releases. There are a lot!

Album of the Day 341
Tomorrowland - Stereoscopic Soundwaves
Slow subtle ambient drones from Darla Records' Bliss Out series. Echoes of Windy & Carl, radioactive children of Spacemen 3. Music for floating.

We've had a Handmaid's Tale sequel for 7 years.
Got to love that now we have to add 'is this real?' to the endless list of things to fact-check, as if journalists and critics didn't have enough to do already.

Album of the Day 340
Brent Gutzeit - Drug Money
Four heavy drones on @krankyltd.bsky.social from the turn of the century.
Heavenly, hypnotic, narcotic, soporific, blissful. Get lost.

Album of the Day 339
Phonophani - Phonophani
Debut album from Norway's Phonophani hits the holy trinity of post-war experimentation - minimalism, ambient, and drone. A rainbow over the desert, the sound of wind and dust.

Album of the Day 338
The Impressions - The Young Mods' Forgotten Story
The first album from The Impressions, who were the first act signed on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records. Sweet, smooth, socially-conscious soul from Chicago.

Right-wing/conservative websites should really work harder at trying to at least APPEAR unbiased if they want their publications to seem believable.

Album of the Day 337
Material Issue - International Pop Overthrow
This is Psycho Pop
It's also highly addictive. Short, sharp pop songs with sad lyrics with the occasional thick grunge production is sweet as honey.
