Brain Salad Surgery- Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The 1973 album Brain Salad Surgery is a fantastic prog rock album that focuses ~2/3 of the runtime to a multi part song named Karn Evil 9. Because 30 minute multi part songs are not radio friendly the part of Karn Evil 9 you'll likely hear on radio is 1st Impression Pt 2, but the full song is cool and in the 2nd Impression section it appears that Keith Emerson quotes the Sonny Rollins song St. Thomas. My favorite song is Toccata.

ALBUM SPOTLIGHT:

Supervision - La Roux (2020)

Such a stellar and deeply underrated album front to back - it’s been out for 3 years and I still listen to it on repeat. It’s Elly’s signature synthpop sound that pays homage to the 80s with added groove that incorporates funk and disco elements and even some reggae influence, and it goes so damn hard. Smooth, addictive, retro-flavoured beats will have your feet tapping and head nodding over and over. Since the days of her iconic songs ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘In For The Kill’ in 2009, her sound has truly been honed and refined, and her personal growth, strength and self-assurance as a person and artist is fully reflected in Supervision. Elly said in 2019 that the last song on the album ‘Gullible Fool’ is the most meaningful, important track on the list and one she feels she’s needed to write her whole life.

Album Rec - The Forever Story, J.I.D.

i know most of y'all that follow me on here aren't huge rap or hip-hop heads, but hear me out on this one. if you like clever lyricism, rhythmic variety, uniquely crafted sounds, and music that carries a story and a message, i have to recommend this album.

JID is easily one of the best rappers in the game right now. he's signed to dreamville with j. cole, and he's contemporaries with names like denzel curry, redveil, and smino, and this album is a beautiful encapsulation of why that's the case.

his ability to take command of any beat he's given meshes incredibly well with his complex and contemplative lyrics, resulting in an album that gives you more to think about the more you listen to it. and through the course of the album, he tells a story. he tells you about his family, his background, his history. he shows you where he is now, and then he weaves the tapestry of his life around your ears so you can follow every thread that put him where he is now.

my personal favorite tracks:

Dance Now (feat. Kenny Mason): JID shows off his skills with weaving different flows into the same beat on this track, along with his control of his own voice, varying its texture and cadence to create a layered listening experience.

Kody Blu 31: an ode to pain, an ode to life, and an ode to the power of struggle in a world that seeks to crush you into the dirt. the track opens with an interpolation of his father singing at his grandmother's funeral, and he works from that start into the stories of the strong people in his life, and leaving the listener with a reminder to keep fighting.

Just in Time (feat. Lil Wayne and Kenny Mason): absolute BANGER. just a masterclass in layered entendres and clever wordplay from both JID and Wayne on this track. features probably my favorite single bar of all of 2022: "cowards talk excessive, pistol-rine is what i rinse they mouth with"

if any of you give this a listen, hit me up here or on discord! i'm always happy to talk about it.

EP rec!!

flat earth romcom by June Henry!

A 2023 release, this 4 song lofi "freak folk" EP follows the story of a flat earther and a non flat earther falling in and out of love. I adore this EP. It's perfectly short, with each song lasting just long enough to grab you by the throat and choak you gently. The guitar parts are punchy and layered, the vocals are are split audio making this EP perfect to listen to with headphones on!

Favourite song: symmetry

Perfect for: late nights staring at the ceiling, dissociated grocery runs, drawing on your hands with sharpies, making friendship bracelets for people you don't talk to anymore

Penthouse and Pavement - Heaven 17

Made up of former Human League members and named after a fictional band from A Clockwork Orange, Heaven 17 is an interesting band. Their first album was Penthouse and Pavement and it is a fantastic synth pop album that has this sort of tongue in cheek aspect about business. There is a BBC Four documentary named "Synth Brittania" mostly about synth pop of the late 70s and into the 80s and in it are both the members of the Human League as well as the Heaven 17 and in it there is an interesting section where Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 talks about his disdain for yuppies and how they apparently unironically enjoyed Let's All Make a Bomb. My favorite song is (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang.

This is ridiculous.

Eddie has important stuff To Do. He's a busy rockstar with a never ending list of stuff his manager and agent keep reminding him that he needs to get done while he's not on tour.

But. His house is being remodeled. And one of the carpenters or handymen or journey...men? journey people? whatever. One of the dudes in a tool belt. Well - he's hot as all hell and Eddie can't seem to find a single fuck to mark off that To Do list.

Every day this man shows up in jeans that hug his ass, a tool belt slung low to one side and this pristine white polo shirt with a logo over his left pec. The other people - people not men because there are actually three women in the mix, all with arms that could crush Eddie, and if he was into chicks, he'd be looking respectfully - are all in various dark colored shirts with a similar logo on the back or in the same spot on the chest.

But White Polo is the only white polo. White Polo must be in charge. He does seem to give a lot of orders. He's got big sexy hair and a strong voice. The first time Eddie was close enough to hear him talk, he had some feelings about that strong voice giving orders. The kind of feelings he explored later that night in his own bed. Alone.

It's not a mean voice though, not aggressive. Rather, it's the kind of voice that steadies you in a storm, that you can rely on. The kind of voice that probably sounds gravelly and sleep mussed on a Saturday morning. The kind you want to wake up to. The voice that Eddie wants to wake up to.

And it's not just the voice and the looks. It's the competency, too. Earlier this morning, White Polo was helping the crew put some kind of wood frame up. He hammered something in and then twirled the hammer and stuffed it in the tool belt all without looking. That was going directly to Eddie's spank bank. Maybe he could find other things for them to remodel so White Polo never has to leave.

"Mr. Munson?"

Eddie startles, almost dropping his Garfield coffee mug. There's a lot of noise in the house and he was sort of doing one of the things on his list. Writing a song in his head. It was definitely not about a man in a tool belt. Nor was it about anyone getting nailed.

Jesus Christ.

Clearing his throat, Eddie turns to White Polo, "It's just Eddie."

"Well, Just Eddie, I'm Steve." His voice is soft, strong though, with that little bit of gravel. It's not Eddie's fault at all that he's imagining him whispering in Eddie's ear when they're both sleep warm and too comfortable to get out of bed. "Looks like we'll be done here in another two days."

"Oh." He says dejectedly, not meaning to have such an honest reaction but he can't help himself. He's wasted three days just glancing at White Polo - Steve - from afar. Now Eddie's on a time limit. Two days isn't nearly enough time. Would it be inappropriate to invite him to dinner? Or to stay? Ask him for --"Coffee?"

Steve smiles and it's kind of small, like it's a secret smile, just for Eddie. Brushing his hair back over his ear, Steve says, "I shouldn't but...your coffee smells kinda great so...sure."

Grinning, Eddie tells him that he gets the beans from this little mom and pop shop that brews their own beans. The band discovered them on tour years ago and he still gets his beans shipped from them every few months. He's babbling but he can't seem to stop himself, telling Steve about different roasts and his fancy machine that cost more than his first van back when he was sixteen and living in a trailer park.

Leaning against the counter, Steve listens patiently, watching Eddie with hazel eyes and that little smile. He's got these cute moles that Eddie wants to kiss. Broad shoulders he wants to feel pressed up against the backs of his knees.

Shit. He almost spills the coffee when his face suddenly heats up at that.

"Everything okay?" There's concern in Steve's voice and he reaches out to steady Eddie's arm. His callused fingers brush Eddie's arm just over his bat tattoo and...oh.

It's like nothing he's ever imagined. So much more than all the stories. It's the biggest, brightest, most intense thing Eddie's ever felt. Just a brush of fingertips and the spots light up with gold. Three brushes across the bats' wings and a fourth smaller one off to the side. Eddie can feel the tingling on the underside of his forearm where Steve's thumb must have brushed as well.

Surging forward, Eddie cups Steve's cheek, leaving a bright gold palm print on his jaw, a thumb smear up by the cheek bone, bits of gold in the shapes of fingers curling along the side of his throat, and one little dab on the lobe of Steve's ear. Their lips are pressed together before Steve's fully reacted to the soul bond but that's okay. They don't have two days, they've got forever.

A few years later, when Corroded Coffin wins album of the year at the Grammys, Gareth takes the mic away from Eddie as he's doing all the polite thank yous to managers and agents etc - and he thanks Steve, telling the world, "If Steve had never been a hot guy in a tool belt, Eddie would never have written Golden Bats, Hammer of Love or, Eddie's favorite," Gareth says, grinning and leaning really close to the mic like it's a secret, 'cause it kind of is, "Ride the White Polo."
