"The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife"

*laughter and raucous applause*

0137 Daniel Rossen – Silent Hour / Golden Mile
(USA, 2012, indie folk)

This is an excellent EP of indie folk. I know this guy's other work with Grizzly Bear, but that stuff is just all right for me. This EP, however, is much more engaging. A darling, warm little EP.

I found a link for each of the 7 tunes if you would prefer a favorite from the album.

Nah. That one's good! Thanks.

0138 Korekyojinn – Jackson
(Japan, 2006, math rock / experimental rock / brutal prog)

This is another one of Yoshida Tatsuya’s projects, and I really enjoy the moments of sweet melodic guitar phrasings over the brutal prog frame as well as the minimal interludes of the guitar and drums playing off each other.

0139 Genesis – Nursery Cryme
(UK, 1971, progressive rock / symphonic prog)

Phil Collins and Steve Hackett join Genesis on this the band’s third album, a smart album full of a lot of striking imagery, including conflation of themes of sex and violence.

0140 Jethro Tull – Stand Up
(UK, 1969, blues rock / progressive rock)

You can really hear the tension between blues rock and folk rock on this album, and it’s wonderful. I’ve noticed that a lot of great art is borne of conflict—I mean, that’s an aphorism, but it’s certainly apropos in this case. Ian Anderson takes artistic control on this the band’s second album.

0141 The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
(UK, 1967, psychedelic pop / pop rock)

When I first started listening to music seriously all those years ago, back in the mists of time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, one of the first serious, critical opinions I came across was that this is the best pop / rock album of all time. And for a while, I nodded and went along with that opinion. It didn’t take long for me to realize, however, that this is not the case. I’m not trying to take anything away from this album—I love it, I rate it a perfect 5—but the best ever? Not even close. Anyway, it’s a fun album with a lot of different things going on. I mean, “When I’m Sixty Four” follows “Within You Without You”, the two most dissimilar tracks on the album, the former being a silly song with an old dancehall feel, the latter a philosophical exploration with a sitar. And this is how you end an album!
