Please feel free to comment as much as you want. I learn a lot from you! And it gets kind of lonely in here sometimes.

Bitches Brew doesn't?

This is what music can be: not giving a single fuck while it expresses the human soul, reminding you that you have feelings and that music can evoke from you the most visceral and beautiful reactions. This is First Utterance’s black cousin.

This is one of those albums that sticks with you forever.

I have no problem with this album. As a matter of fact, I love it. I never read reviews, either of new or old albums, so I never know the meta before going into an album. I just trust my ears. And so I’ll like something that’s panned or hate something that’s acclaimed. But the other day I ran across someone online talking about the critical re-evaluation of this album. Wait what? Critics thought this album was bad? What the hell! Is an artist not allowed to do new things, to stand on the corner and listen to the music of the street and then incorporate that music into his own? Now you know why I don’t read reviews. By the way, if you need further enticement, this has McLaughlin on guitar, Hancock on piano, and DeJohnette on drums.

I ADORE On the Corner. I truly don’t understand why it is so maligned.

Better Late Than Never
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz

I forgot I'd ordered this vinyl record for Christmas! At the time of purchasing, I knew it would take some weeks for the record, which was being imported by a third party, to get to me, but I was happy to wait. So yesterday when I got the notification that it would be arriving today, I was initially perplexed. Age of Adz? Oh yes! I ordered that mid-December!

Well, it was worth the wait. The gatefold sleeve and the inserts are just lovely. I love the quirky hand-drawn art, though I can't make much sense of it beyond the clear references to B movies.

BACK

GATEFOLD

ART 1

ART 2

I spun the double album immediately, and I was thrilled to see that Side D is just one long track. What a way to finish a perfect album!

I think what happened was that Miles kept talking **** about free jazz and people got caught up in the very prevalent idea that you had to pick sides between free jazz and fusion. It didn’t help that Miles had made ****ty comments about Ornette, Coltrane, and even Hendrix. It seems stupid af now but you have to remember how big a presence Miles was on the jazz scene. It’s obvious now that it only makes sense to enjoy Miles and Ornette and ignore the idiosyncrasies and jealousies that inflicted Miles’ personality but at the time he had the clout to push the narrative that one had to choose from a dichotomy. Something similar happened when 20th C composers decided to abandon Schoenberg’s school of thought. Young composers now consider imprisoning yourself in a single school a form of lunacy but things had to change to get there. Even today some hip hop fans act like you’re cheating on Nas if you like Lil Yachty. But I’m here to tell you it’s ok to love Blood on the Tracks and Freewheelin’. I’m ****ing the cheerleader and the quarterback. Let’s love it all.

Sexy mother****er.

It's a lot simpler than all of that.
Seventies jazz just started to open
up and got the response that Bebop
got a quarter century before, but
now it was coming from Blue Note
brown-nosers. "That's not jazz ... "

You would've thought these people
would've known that this movement
wasn't just gonna be a flash in the pan
after Bitches Brew - especially when
...Fillmore, Jack Johnson and Live-Evil
had already come out before ...Corner.

That doesn’t explain Eugene Chadbourne’s reaction.

0131 Juana Molina – Wed 21
(Argentina, 2013, folktronica / indietronica)

What I like about Molina is that across the three albums of hers I have, I don’t know what to expect. Not only song to song but within a song, she’ll take unexpected left turns that always keeps her compositions fresh.

0132 Tenhi – Maaäet
(Finland, 2006, dark folk)

You can cut the atmosphere on this one with a broad sword. All that is night and winter and magical is contained herein. This is my go-to album at night if they day has me wired and I need to calmly slide into a quiet evening. My favorite memory of this album is spinning this on vinyl at night while a storm raged outside.

I'm sold based on the album cover alone. The music helps, too.
