@bradsonemanband and I have made our picks for each other.

I am going to be listening to:
'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry
Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours

And I gave him:
Seahaven - Reverie Lagoon: Music For Escapism Only
The Sounds - Dying To Say This To You

 

@ImAMetaphor glad you dug Bad Bad Hats. I can't stop listening to it. I think it sounds a little like Alvvays but with a more pop punk attitude, so if you listen to them maybe that's why it sounds familiar. That's always what I've thought anyway. But yea you explained well why I love it. And I'm glad you at least have listened to Graceland now even if you're not completely in love. FWIW, I didn't fall in love with it first listen.

Listening to both Sufjan Stevens (Seven Swans) and St. Vincent (Strange Mercy) was interesting because they're both artists who I've heard later album(s) from, so it was cool hearing some of their earlier work.

On Sufjan: I like that it's more laid back. It reminds me more of Carrie & Lowell than Illinois or Age of Adz, which was nice. In he Devil's Territory was a highlight, and Sisters made me say holy shit. I'm glad I got a chance to listen to this one. He's such a gifted songwriter.

On St Vincent: there were some really great tracks on here. Cruel and Strange Mercy were highlights. I like how Strange Mercy changed the pace a little from the songs that preceded it. It's a very interesting record and I feel like there's a lot of layers going on. I'm excited to listen more, because I feel like there will be new things to hear every time. She's a very unique talent.

Sufjan grabbed me a little more immediately(probably because I'm already familiar with him), but I'll definitely be returning to both of these albums. Thanks for the recommendations!

 

Dude cheerleader is a jam! I-I-I-IIIIIII is such a sick part.

 

@bachna84
You will be pleased to hear I have begun listening to As Cities Burn- Come Now Sleep as my job search/application soundtrack.

 

I am not even remotely religious but oh my goodness, the "cause he is the looorrrrrrdddddddd" crescendo in "Seven Swans" is one of the most incredible moments in Sufjan's career and he has a LOT of amazing moments in his music.

 

That album/band is so good.(as cities burn that is)

 

well now I'm excited haha
also kudos to seahaven; that record has fallen off a bit for me but some excellent songs on there

 

I love listening to it as a whole. I was so impressed at how leveled the album was and well structured. It was nice that one of the bands from that scene were really trying to make an album, not a bunch of songs.

 

been traveling and just had to go straight to work. i’ll post them when i post them haha

 

@BTDandFeelingThis late to the party but I'm here for the next round of pairings - love this idea

 

Can we post our thoughts before the weekend? Like, if I listen to these new ones right now, can I post my thoughts right after? Or will that throw off the groove too much?

 

Thanks. Usually one I recommend a lot because a lot of people haven't heard it!

 

I'm paired with @duritzfan13 for session 2

I'll be listening to Recovering The Satellites by Counting Crows

And @duritzfan13 will be listening to A Toast to bad Taste by Far-Less.

 

maaaaan i haven't thought about Far-Less in a minute but as soon as i saw the name, the chorus to Gentlemen Go to Sleep got stuck in my head. Will be spinning that album again today.

 

@ImAMetaphor facilitating some TIGHT MFING JAMS DROOL is sick too buddy you killed it

 

I am sorry! just been busy!

 

Who is gonna be the brave soul who takes on my eventual recommendation of an epic Phish show from the fall '97 tour?

 

Dude I’ll send you my recs just reply with yours!

 

Racquet Club - Racquet Club

 

I sent you a pm!

 

You sure can! We Don’t have a partner for you though so you get me :) send me a dm

 

I just realized we're paired this week, are you super busy this week or are you down to do it?

 

I mean I picked a day...


But why not

 

Surely you'd listen to it more than once though?

 

So I’ll be listening to 4 albums this week haha. NICE!
