Good Old BoysRandy Newman

8/10

Woof. I like Randy Newman and I know he writes songs with satire and from the perspective of people he doesn’t necessarily agree with.

I’m not sure how to feel about this. I certainly wouldn’t try to question someone for being offended. I don’t know if I am, but I’m also not someone who is typically victimized by the usage of some of the words in here. Pretty complex stuff. Wait a minute. Did art just make me think and feel?

4/10

Still no on this type of music. Some of the songs were OK and beats cool, but this is waaaaaay to edm coded and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for me.

The Hissing of Summer LawnsJoni Mitchell

8/10

I’m a big fan of Joni, especially her pre-1980s work. Hot take, I know.

I think this album is great. It’s a 4 among a bunch of 5s. If I were making this list and was being selfish, I’d include this too. If I were being objective, I’d probably include 3 or 4 Joni albums, and this wouldn’t make the cut.

Nick of TimeBonnie Raitt

6/10

I used to kind of dislike Bonnie Raitt.

I may have softened in her over the years. This was pleasant enough, but I’m still not going to go out looking for her music.

SkylarkingXTC

8/10

I enjoyed this, and need to thank this project for forcing me to give XTC a chance. In my youth, I always wrote them off as just a generic pop group, but I’m realizing I had serious misconceptions.
