Swamp Dogg - Best of 25 Years... Or F*** the Bomb, Stop the Drugs: 7.5 (high B+)

Had this when it came out and eventually sold it off. #r&b/oldies/bestof

Todd Snider - High, Lonesome and Then Some: 7 (B+)

Upped a notch and collected in memoriam, despite being #folk.

Body Type - Expired Candy: 7.5 (high B+)

Very close to 8 (A-), but #import even if so. #indiepop

Go-Betweens - Metal and Shells: notation

Seven songs from Spring Hill Fair and five from Before Hollywood. Never issued on CD. Listened once for flow. See separate posts re: each of the constituent albums.

Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet: 7.5 (high B+)

Normally this should be #dance, but I ended up with a copy and will keep it for now. It's right on the border of 8 (A-) anyway, which is what I provisionally rated it when it was on the final listen shelf.

Macka B - Natural Suntan: 8 (A-)

Macka B - Looks Are Deceiving: 8 (A-)

Sabrina Carpenter - Man’s Best Friend: 7 (B+)

Dingonek Street Band - Primal Economics: 7 (B+)

#neworleans

S.G. Goodman - Planting by the Signs: 7 (B+)

#folk/country/roots

Pablo Moses - A Song: 9.5 (high A)

Love this album cover.

The Delines - Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom: 7 (B+)

#americana/folk

Mission of Burma - Mission of Burma [Rykodisc, 1988]: notation

Interesting artifact. Contains Signals, Calls and Marches and Vs. in their entirety, both of which I obviously have, "Academy Fight Song" (which I have elsewhere), three Vs.-era unreleased tracks that appear on my version of that album, and two cuts from Horrible Truth, which I will post about separately. What a terrible way to hear this band anyway - smaller doses are better. But it was 1988, and a different world.

I also looked into Accomplished, and it's only got tracks from Signals, Vs., and Horrible, although six from the latter this time, which is a plurality here!

Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunter: 7 (B+)

#country

Rancid - batch review

Have had these for decades and will post separately if I ever play them again. Never been a huge fan, but I respect their work:

    ...And Out Come the Wolves

    Life Won't Wait

    Indestructible

Rhett Miller - A Lifetime of Riding by Night: disliked

Four plays

The Undertones - The Undertones: 7.5 (high B+)

I have the Rykodisc version on CD, with seven bonus tracks that last less than 13 minutes total, lol. For some reason I'm not inspired to look into, it was also issued with this cover:

A cooler cover if you ask me.

Suicide - The Second Album + The First Rehearsal Tapes: 8.5 (high A-)

Grade is for the actual second album (I won't grade the tapes). I also have the same album, usually titled as Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev, on vinyl with this cover:

Suicide - Suicide: 9 (A)

Classic album cover. I have the two-disc version with Live at CBGB's 1977 on disc two with the classic "23 Minutes Over Brussels."

Various - Wanna Buy a Bridge?: 8.5 (high A-)

Various - No New York: 8.5 (high A-)

Margo Price - Hard Headed Woman: 7.5 (high B+)

#country

Meat Puppets - Up on the Sun: 8.5 (high A-)

Meat Puppets - Out My Way [EP]: 8 (A-)

The Undertones - Hypnotised: 8 (A-)

I happen to have the remastered CD on castle with three worthy bonus tracks.
