By the time we finish today, WE WILL HAVE DISCUSSED 250 ALBUMS!!!!!


-

This week features Wu-Tang Clan, Novos Baianos, Hole, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;)

When do we EVER have time for Poetry Time on Albums eps anymore? I won’t even try lol. Here’s the written version for you:

***Today’s Poetry Time***

____________________________________________________



The World I Live In


I have refused to live
locked in the orderly house of
reasons and proofs.
The world I live in and believe in
is wider than that. And anyway,
what's wrong with Maybe?


You wouldn't believe what once or
twice I have seen. I'll just
tell you this:
only if there are angels in your head will you
ever, possibly, see one.

To honor the top 100 albums (and my favorite poet), the poems for the rest of this series will all be coming from Mary Oliver :)

ONLY 50 ALBUMS TO GO!!! Holy crap.

(I’m *really* going to miss this project once we’re through.)

Onward and upward we continue.

Oh it’s a major endeavor, alright.

I’m going to try to listen to at least 10 albums a week for the rest of the year!

Yeah, I’m not joking.

Media, art, and entertainment publication Paste Magazine came out with a list of the 300 best albums and we’re going to go through them all! Well, I’m going to.

And then we’re going to talk about it! Great tracks, themes, history, info, related artists, cultural context, personal experiences- they’re all going to play a part in these reviews.

Totally stoked because I love music. (And a little intimidated! Because this is a lot to process)

-

If we keep up with an episode per week featuring 10 albums each, we’ll just about finish by the end of 2024.

Keep taking care of your mental health and your people. Please stay safe and have a restful weekend!

I’ll see you back live on Monday,

C :)
