Beastie Boys - Some Old Bullshit - notation

Contains Polly Wog Stew EP, Cookie Puss single, and two demos. See separate posts on first two, and I played the demos three times for good measure.

The Kasambwe Brothers - The Kasambwe Brothers: 8 (A-)

Vinyl-only

Jeff Evans Porkestra - When Pigs Dance: 7.5 (high B+)

No physicals, and #roots anyway.

Water From Your Eyes - It's a Beautiful Place: liked

:-)

Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow: 7 (B+)

I'll probably end up getting this one day, even though it's #folk/country, given all the smart people I know who seem to like it at the 8 (A-) level or higher.

New York Dolls - Live at Academy of Music [ie, the Palladium in NYC] 02-15-1974: liked

Bootleg - terrible sound quality (aka "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre"). Happens to be one of my local music venues growing up in Manhattan in the 1970s. Just a few block from where my high school was (at the time - it's since moved locations). But I was a couple years too young for this show.

Lambrini Girls - Who Let the Dogs Out: 7.5 (high B+)

#import

Margaret Glaspy - The Golden Heart Protector: 7 (B+)

No physicals

Waco Brothers & Paul Burch - Great Chicago Fire: liked

:-)

The Cars - Candy-O: 8.5 (high A-)

The Cars - The Cars: 8 (A-)

The Cars - Complete Greatest Hits: 9 (A)

Same tracks as The Definitive, released in the same year [2002], just with a different running order. Contains all tracks from Greatest Hits [1985], except "Heartbeat City."

Iggy Pop - The Idiot: 8 (A-)

Iggy Pop - Lust for Life: 8.5 (high A-)

Ijahman - Are We a Warrior: 8 (A-)

Iggy Pop - New Values: 7 (B+)

Iggy Pop - Soldier: 7 (B+)

With Glen Matlock and Ivan Kral

The Upsetters [Lee "Scratch" Perry] - Super Ape: 7 (B+)

Perhaps upped a notch for general regard. Not sure why people think this is so great.

Ustad Massano Tazi - Maroc: Musique Classique Andalouse de Fes [Ocora, 1988]: notation

Can't find this to stream anywhere. I would buy this sound unheard because it intrigues me, but the price isn't right for that. I did listen to some of this artist's other work on YouTube that I could find, which supported this decision. I hope it becomes streamable one day.

Grace Jones - The Best of Grace Jones: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: 7.5 (high B+)

Goes on for too long. #bestof

Katie Alice Greer - Perfect Woman Sound Machine, Vol. 1: 8 (A-)

Vinyl-only. I would probably make an exception for her, but not at $30 shipped for eight songs at 26 minutes.

Montrose - Montrose: liked

Might be a 7 (B+), but none of the songs are sticking after four plays.

Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters - Cloak & Dagger: neutral

:-|

Iggy Pop - Instinct: liked

Not as bad as many people say it is. Also doesn’t seem like #69 “heavy metal” album of all time (as per Kerrang), not that I'm an expert in the genre.

Lee "Scratch" Perry and Bullwackie - Satan's Dub: liked

Dub version of Perry’s Satan Kicked the Bucket.
