…to tell modern stories, they’re blending eras & showing us that time—& music—is a flat circle. Haunting,heartfelt, humorous & in its own way, sinister—that’s the winning recipe here.Jeff Tweedy gave his stamp of approval by supplying equipment, playing guitar & singing backup on several songs.(2/2)

The Handsome Family:Through the Trees (1998) The 1st, but not last, great Handsome Family album came after Brett Sparks’ stay in a mental hospital.This colored the songs, which cover dark topics such as drugs, suicide, mental illness & institutionalization.By using traditional American sounds…(1/2)

Read this wrong and thought for a second that there was a MEMENTO show incoming, and now I’m heartbroken that there isn’t. 😞

…are serviceable…but that’s it. This has its fans but I find it dull & overlong. I never actively disliked anything, but there was little that I actively liked, either. Halfway thru, I was ready for it to be over so I could move onto the next. No video to share, you’ll have to search yourself.(2/2)

Mike “Sport” Murphy: Willoughby (1999) New to me. Something of an outlier in the KRS catalogue, mellow blends of country, folk & lounge tunes by the oddball Murphy, who’s determined to highlight everything but rock on this eclectic album.The melodies are nice, storytelling is good & the songs…(1/2)

Did we need to see where Leatherface got his chainsaw or where Hoyt got his uniform? Of course not but the creators of the remake hamstrung themselves w/ what they did to these characters at the end of the film & a direct sequel wasn’t feasible, so instead we get a decent but unremarkable prequel.

Nope, I think that’s the next one!

Hey, wanna see the birth of Leatherface?

Is it heresy to remake such a beloved movie? Nah, I’m not that precious. Besides, just think of it as another sequel and it goes down easier. Glossier than the original but still bleak and brutal in the best ways. Weird to say but there’s some beautiful shots here, and Ermey is great. I love this.

…For the most part, these may as well be instrumentals because the lyrics are available primarily through vibes—but the rest of the package is solid enough that even that can be forgiven. I imagine there’s some crossover appeal here between rockers, metal heads and goth kids. Very cool stuff. (2/2)

Monkey on my back, by Fuzz Club

from the album Sonic Jesus EP

100

Sonic Jesus: Sonic Jesus EP (2012) Quite good greasy, grungy droning rock from Italy’s Sonic Jesus that never disappoints, at least musically, over the course of 4 tracks. The only real qualm is that the gothy vocals are so mangled and distorted that you can scarcely make any of them out.…(1/2)

Certainly not their best work, as the band makes a conscious decision to steer away from the “alternative” label that the press was pinning on them. It’s not easy to go home again, and they struggle a bit to have one foot in the mainstream and the other in the underground.

…troubadour singing, but the songwriting is so great that you probably won’t mind. Sometimes humorous, sometimes emotional, but always artful and poetic. It would be equally at home in the coffee shop as it would be at the Lilith Fair. Good stuff. (2/2)

Still in Love with You, by Danielle Howle

from the album Catalog

Danielle Howle: Catalog (1999) New to me. South Carolinian singer-songwriter Danielle Howle’s first album for Kill Rock Stars is twelve tracks of simple acoustic guitar and raw, intimate vocals. There’s nothing flashy about the performances here, just straightforward…(1/2)

Updated review. BlueSky, as always, you are my rough drafts. Goodnight.

Julianna Barwick gives us 40+ minutes of slow, ambient songs layered over hypnotic soundscapes. It is, admittedly, both lovely and lulling, and like Gregorian chants, you can feel the inherent spirituality of it all; but in all honesty, I wouldn't never choose to listen to it unless I needed help from a higher power to fall asleep at night. That being said, I frequently do need help falling asleep at night, and between my first and second listen over the course of a year and a half, my opinion changed from "This album will put me to sleep" (pejorative) to "This album will put me to sleep" (laudatory).

I’ll tell you that my thoughts went from “This album will put me to sleep” (pejorative) to “This album will put me to sleep” (laudatory). I’m so very tired.

Ok, one more revisit before bed.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Nope, still not for me. 🤷‍♂️

Revisiting this one to see if my opinion of it has changed in the past two years
