Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is To Bring You My Love from P.J. Harvey. Her music is considered alternative rock and sometimes singer songwriter. She is on the noisier end of alternative rock so that works for me.

I’ve always liked PJ Harvey. So no surprise I like this. I added the playlists to me playlist list and this will get more rotation!

Rating: 9.7

Favorite Track(s): “Meet ze mostra” is good. “Working for the ma” I really liked. I liked “Telco”. And “Long Snake Moan” storms right in! “Down By The Water” is excellent and my wife commented on it as well.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is a Daytrotter Session from Sunset Rubdown. This is indie rock or slacker rock.

Honestly with that name for some reason I thought this would suck but it doesn’t. It’s pretty good. I really liked this. Do I want more of their music? Maybe..

Rating: 9.4

Favorite Track(s): “Winged / Wicked Things” is a good song! I really liked “Shut Up, I’m Dreaming of Places…”! The solo in this is grand! “They took a Vote and Said No” also quite good. Great little EP.

Keep or Trash: Keep. At minimum…

You can listen to this session at this link.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Happy Valentine’s Day from Milk Dick. They are listed as Punk Rock which fits but somewhere between punk and indie rock I’d say overall.

I really, really like this. Their raw Indie Rock / Punk sound is great. I want more!

Rating: 9.6

Favorite Track(s): “Coffee and Drugs” hits right off and I love it! “Waking up from Creepy Dreams” is a great title and this is a great raw indie rock song! “Spookytown, USA” needs to go on my spooky list obviously and it’s fun! “Half Queer” is a good song. I can’t make out the lyrics but I assume queer friendly…

Keep or Trash: Keep. Buy more!!

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is the Winter Will Never Come / Bruise 7″ from Kitteh Fur. They are a Dream Pop or Indie Pop outfit.

This is very pretty. I enjoyed this single. Apparently this was their only release other than a couple of covers which is disappointing. But in any case pretty solid.

Rating: 9.2

Favorite Track(s): “Winter Will Never Cone” is a lovely song. “Bruise” really sticks out. It’s pretty and lovely in an almost haunting way. Very Dream Pop.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is seeyalater stratocaster from ippo.tsk. Ippo.tsk is an Indonesian artist. Listed genres include Alternative Rock, Shimokita-kei, Indie Rock, and Post-Grung. Anyhow I enjoy them!

This mixes an Indie Rock sound with electronic sounds and an almost shoe gaze thing. Post-grunge is an interesting genre classification and I guess I see that.

Rating: 9.5

Favorite Track(s): “rose-tinted bitter grudge” is a great song title. But I also like the song. It’s very solidly good. I really like “John frustrante”. “Taste the rain” is also very good. It was’t in my top 50 rain songs but I think that was because I found this after I did that. It probably would have made it! “Fall semester song” also good. “oyasumination” also good to repeat myself. “Thou I fear, I still walk” is a great album ender!

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is It’s Always Sunny in Tillamook from Meg & Dia. This is straight up pop music, perhaps folky pop music. And it may surprise you if you follow the blog to know that I love it! Yes, I like noise rock but I do like some pop and I have a soft spot for Meg & Dia due largely to Dia’s roles in some lesbian movies that I watch.

Intellectually this is not in my wheelhouse but I enjoy it anyhow. With that said, this isn’t my favorite album of theirs. It feels slightly less rosy. I like their rosy positive sound. When they do it they do it well! Anyhow I like this.

Rating: 8.5

Favorite Track(s): “My Ugly Mouth” is good. “Dreams like Oceans” is wonderful. Makes me feel so warm. “Don’t Be Careful” also makes my insides tingle. And then I zoned out as I tend to do sometimes…

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is the Daytrotter Session from Edison. They are basically somewhere between folk and folk rock.

Overall this album is nice. It’s solid folk or folk rock I suppose. I don’t love it thought. It’s just okay to me.

Rating: 7.0

Favorite Track(s): “Open Road” is nice. “Water in the Well” is probably the best song.

Keep or Trash: Trash.

You can listen here.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Grown Up Wrong from Native America. It is Garage Rock, Neo-Psychedelia, and/or Slacker Rock.

I wasn’t expecting much for some reason but this is a good album! It does sound like something out of the 1960s at times, but it works and it always carries a bit of a modern sound along with it which is nice. Overall very good album!

Rating: 9.2

Favorite Track(s): “Rabo” is a good song. “Dance with Me” is great! “Old friends” works well and feels appropriately nostalgic. I particularly liked “All About You”. “What’s On Your Mind?” also got my attention. Reminded me of some more 1990s indie rock. I think the guitar part stood out to me.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is a demo from Tensor. Tensor is a queer hardcore punk band from Portland, Oregon. I mean you had me at queer punk…

This band is quite solid. They are certainly raw, but in a good way to me. I imagine them as being a fun live band. Definitely not the best recording which is normal for a demo. Overall good stuff with an experimental feel to much of it,

Rating: 9.2

Favorite Track(s): “Barriers” is my favorite on this demo. “Not Having It” is solid. “Crash” is fun. And “Queer as in FUCK YOU” hahaha is good.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Keep it Simple from Keb’ Mo’. This is simple blues music and its good.

This is oddly clean and bright for blues. I’m used to songs about how miserable their lives are. These songs are so lovely and uplifting. Which is nice but it does miss that rawness that makes blues so good much of the time. I don’t listen to a lot of blues so maybe that’s just the blues I tend to listen to.

Lyrically I love this album. It is so uplifting. Musically I find it good but I do kind of want more. I think more rawness maybe. But it is good, just perhaps not entirely in my wheelhouse. But it is so uplifting and that’s a plus!

Rating: 8.8

Favorite Track(s): “France” is a nice song. “Let your Light Shine” has a lovely rhythm to it and is uplifting which is nice. Love the lyrics to “Shave Yo” Legs”. “Prosperity Blues” is the most bluesy song yet which is a plus. “Keep it Simple” is good. “I’m Amazing” is so sweet and uplifting!

Keep or Trash: Keep. It’s so uplifting I may just save this for days when I feel low…
