tagged by @marley-manson - 6 albums I’ve been listening to a lot lately! plus one track from each that I’m especially fond of:

1) “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” - Jim Croce

Just picking the one Croce album bc this one’s probably come up the most but I’ve been really enjoying him recently! Funny enough, I had him on while driving my parents & nephews home from the park today and my parents said they both listened to him back in the 70s, and it seems to happen frequently that I tend to enjoy musicians that both of my parents were into as well. I guess it’s in my DNA or something.

2) “Selling England By The Pound” - Genesis

I had an ex who was really into prog rock and got me into a few albums back in the day, and recently I revisited some of those albums & this one is just really solid. Peter Gabriel Genesis > Phil Collins Genesis to me.

3) “Has A Good Home” - Owen Pallett

I first heard Owen Pallett when I saw them perform during a Vinyl Cafe concert in the 2000s and the way they used live recording tech to make musical loops and build melodies on stage was utterly fascinating. I’d totally forgotten about them until a song of theirs came up on shuffle recently & have been revisiting some of my faves, and this record is terrific.

4) “Feed The Animals” - Girl Talk

Another artist that I forgot about until it came up on shuffle recently - there are few mashups that are as well done as Girl Talk’s imo.

5) “SOS” - SZA

This is just one of the albums I’ve been returning to over and over since it came out and because “Saturn” isn’t from any album but has remained stubbornly on my recently played since I first heard it, I’m including this one. It’s just so endlessly relistenable. Is that a word? Idk well it is now. SZA has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard and I’m a bit in love with her. I would follow her to the ends of the earth.

6) “Bronco” - Orville Peck

Another recent album that I keep revisiting; every single song is fantastic. Apparently Orville is coming to Toronto again this summer but he’s playing at Budweiser Stage which is nowhere near as good a venue as Massey Hall, so idk if I’ll go. But god, he puts on a great show.
