February is Music Writer Exercise Month #MWE • Page 31

It sounds like hard rock, granted, but “You Shook Me All Night Long” is one of the best pure pop songs ever made.

 

honestly kinda shocked Craig had never heard pink moon before

 

Realized I wrote Another Green World on my list when I meant Here Come the Warm Jets. Have to decide which to do now

 

both

can’t go wrong

 

The former, easily

edit:
Wait I liked Warm Jets, I wasn’t a fan of Tiger Mountain. But still, Another Green World is perfect

 

I'm afraid I really cannot fuck with ACDC

 

I was telling @cshadows2887 on Twitter that I have definitely heard pieces of it over the years (perhaps even all of it), but I never did a deep-dive, deliberate listen.

 

I think I need to do a Prince deep dive soon.

 

subsequent listens will bump your 7 up to a 10

 

On the decks today is Room on Fire by The Strokes, I may have actually heard this before, I think my dad had this album, but if I have heard it, it won’t have been for ~15 years so I’m still counting it as new music.

I like Is This It a decent amount when I’m in the specific mood for that kind of guitar-y indie rock / garage rock stuff, but it’s certainly not an album I listen to regularly.

This sounds like more of the same - I reckon you could easily put the two albums on shuffle and it’d be hard to tell which is from one or the other. Reptilla is the track I recognise most from hearing it in miscellaneous places over the years, and that’s a really great song.

Pretty solid stuff overall - nothing at all new from what I know of The Strokes from Is This It, but scratches the itch perfectly for this sort of music. Lovely and short too, can’t go wrong with a 33 minute album.

 

I feel exactly about the same about this album. Word for word, including the dad part.

 

love that album, prefer it to ITI

 

never really cared for The Strokes, I just can't get into the drunkenly slurry vocal style at all. Saw them live once and it was a total utter disaster of a show, so that didn't help either.

 

This feels like listening to sunshine. Super joyful sounding record and exactly what I needed today

 

The Elusive Chanteuse was well ahead of her time with this record. I'd only heard the big singles from this prior to giving it a full listen and this was joyful and uplifting.

 

Daydream is such a singles-and-filler album for me. But MAN what singles.

 

I mean, my boyfriend looked at me weird as I was just all out jamming to "Always Be My Baby" which still remains a BOP. I was very impressed by "I Am Free."

 

Going with The Postal Service - Give Up today.

 

This one was real good. Highly recommended!

 

One Sweet Day is undeniable.

 

That song is the whole reason Daydream was one of the first 2-3 albums I ever bought with my own money.

I think I got it at Strawberries so it probably cost me like 19 bucks.

 

haha something I noted upon listening

 

Onto Talking Heads Remain In Light today
