You are the 2nd person I’ve seen mention this in as many days. I plan on giving it a listen later today. I totally missed out on a physical copy of this, the minidisc box would have been addition to my ever growing collection. Desert Sand Feels Warm At Night - 夜道 ![]() |

Some locals (venues, musicians, organizations) have organized a new project called The Isolation Sessions on youtube. Listening to one of these sessions now and it's funny. Check it out,
the Cairo Liberation Front!!

Well, no it doesn’t matter in terms of the music itself, but I suppose it’s somewhat significant, considering just how rare perfect scores for new music have been. Like, I imagine the editorial board sat and talked that one out for a bit after listening to an early release of the record, and made the decision carefully. In terms of the album itself, it’s kind of astounding how appropriate the vibe and sound are for the self-isolation era. Additionally, the lyrical content is quite good, and its personalized approach to addressing concerns of women amid another powerful cultural “moment” (#MeToo, though it’s never mentioned on the album) makes for a compelling and thought provoking listen. She’s a hell of a writer, and even a dumb dude like me can listen to these lyrics and relate, in a way. And the music is sparse, fearless, clattering, confrontational, while also being warm and intimate. I’m glad I don’t review music for a living — means I get to sit and digest things before spewing out scores for clicks — but my first impressions of Fetch The Bolt Cutters were pretty goddamn positive. There are some similarities musically to works by Tom Waits, maybe some Jeff Buckley or PJ Harvey, but it really does kind of manage to sound like its own claustrophobic beast. I recommend it, I guess. Interested in people’s thoughts. ![]() |

I stopped after the third track, which happens to be the title track. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t feeling it. Not necessarily the album per se, but the environs in which I was listening......too much other stuff going on. It was a bit more whimsical than I had anticipated, and I kept wondering, who’s Shameka? Speaking of, Shameka reminds me of the Laurie Anderson song, Monkeys Paw. Last night I encountered an add on the social media touting it as the best album of the decade......this album has serious buzz! I’ll approach it again, from the beginning, when I’m better prepared for it!!! |

There’s a social media account that proclaims every album to be the best album of all time, so I wouldn’t take it too seriously. Also the decade is like 4 months old, so there’s that too. But yeah, it’s a good album. |

Good point actually. Wonder how many albums from 2010 are considered best of the decade.

For $6 you can add a mix of 206 ten second tracks, all by 206 different artist, to your BandCamp. It’s recommended you listen to this on shuffle and all proceeds donated to Cool Earth.

WLIR interviewer: I was glancing through a rock publication called Zoo World the other day and came across a review of your new album called Radio City, and the guy started off the review by saying, "Here it is, only January [1974], and we already have the album of the year". You're getting an awful lot of critical acclaim for your new album, it's really good. Alex Chilton: Yeah, that's, uh, nice. I hope it sells. __________________ On the Fiona Apple album: I don't have any of her previous records, but I'm familiar with her music. This is certainly a departure - it sounds like... spoken-word Ani DiFranco on crack over tUnE-yArDs shenanigans circa W H O K I L L. That's all I'm sayin' right now. Back to you in the studio.

![]() Idaho - You were a Dick Bought this when it was released possibly because of the title ;-) but never played it more than once, because I didn't like his voice so much. Hearing it after nearly 10 years, it's like a good bottle of wine that needed a long rest.
