Dawn Oberg - Rye: 7.5 (high B+)

# [cabaret/lounge?] CD Baby-only item, which I never buy.

Loudon Wainwright III - Unrequited: 3.5 stars

I've never been much of a folkie, fan of Loudon, or tolerator of the live/studio mishmash, but this is pretty good. Docked a notch for some of the foregoing. This is not joining the collection. This one, Album III, and Attempted Mustache are available on a double CD set, but I don’t like that 3 album on 2 CD format, these discs are dated, I’m not a folk collector, and I am a middling LWIII fan.

Tribu Baharú - Pa'l más exigente bailador: 4 stars

Definitely a very good champeta album. Diblo plays on track 2. No physical, but I would buy one if there were.

The Paranoid Style - Rock and Roll Just Can’t Recall: 7 (B+)

Digital-only [Also listened to the +3 version -- no change in grade for that. Also no change in lack of physical formats.]

The Paranoid Style - The Purposes of Music in General: 7 (B+)

I'd buy physical if they'd deign to release it on CD and not just cassette. And forget trying to hear their first "EP" - The Power of our Proven System. It's a big secret!

Kanye West - The Life of Pablo

😐

MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday: 7 (B+)
