Next month: [[2021-02]] # January 12th - [[Max Richter]], [[Max Richter -- Beethoven -- Opus 2020]] - Meh - [[Lianne La Havas]], [[Live at the Roundhouse]] - This is really good, even though her full self-titled album didn't click for me at all. Is she just only good live/solo? - [[The Avalanches]], [[We Will Always Love You]] - Maybe too feelingsy for me, or maybe too _faux_-feelingsly / emotionally manipulative # January 13th - [[Rico Nasty]], [[Nightmare Vacation]] # January 14th - [[Brandee Younger]], [[Dezron Douglas]], [[Force Majeure]] # January 15th - [[Fana Hues]], [[Hues]] - [[Sally Sossa]], [[Life of Sossa]] # January 17th - [[Emma Ruth Rundle]], [[Thou]], [[May Our Chambers be Full]] - A little grimdark for me maybe # January 18th - [[Lukah]], [[When the Black Hand Touches You]] - Okay this is good shit - [[Meagan Thee Stallion]], [[Good News]] - This is also good, I seem to like it much better than Suga for whatever reason. - [[Matilda Mann]], [[Because I Wanted You to Know]] - Also good - [[Dirty Projecters]], [[5EPs]] - Seems like something I should like, but...no. # January 20th - [[Aesop Rock]], [[Spirit World Field Guide]] - Kinda runs together - [[Aya Nakamura]], [[Aya]] - Meh - [[Marika Hackman]], [[Covers]] - Good as heck - [[Moses Boyd]], [[Displaced Diaspora]] and [[Dark Matter]] - Absolutely my shit. # January 21st - [[Jacaszek]], [[Gardenia]] - Meh - [[Mourn]], [[Self Worth]] - Pretty good - [[Outkast]], [[Stankonia]] - it's good # January 22nd - [[Palberta]], [[Palberta 5000]] - Meh - [[Widowspeak]], [[Honeychurch]] - Pretty good - [[James Yorkston]], The Second Hand Orchestra, [[The Wide, Wide River]] - Okay # January 24th - [[Keith Jarrett]], [[Budapest Concert]] - Good - [[Sun Ra Arkestra]], [[Swirling]] - Good # January 26th - [[Rita Indiana]], [[Mandinga Times]] - Not quite as much of a bop as [[El Juidero]] - [[Shugo Tokumaru]], [[Night Piece]] and [[LST]] - Great - [[Missy Mazzoli]], [[Songs from the Uproar]] - Good, but not at the same level as [[Vespers for a New Dark Age]] - [[Jace Clayton|DJ Rupture]], [[Minesweeper]] - Good - [[Keeley Forsyth]], [[Debris]] - Really good, especially "Look to Yourself" - [[Heems]], [[Eat Pray Thug]], [[Wild Water Kingdom]], [[Nehru Jackets]] - Very good. Wny did I need to listen to all of this? It's because of the Jason Bourne song being referenced on Friends at the Table, lol. - [[Jeff Mills]], [[Blue Potential - Live with Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra]] - Pretty good # January 29th (Release Friday) - [[Katie Dey]], [[Mydata]] - Tidal actually recommended the remix follow up, [[Urdata]], to me, but I decided to check out this for context. Both seem to not be for me at all. Not sure why, as weird experimental pop is certainly something I have often enjoyed. There's some interesting...tempo fuckery? I don't know how music works though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - [[Clarice Jensen]], [[Ainu Mosir]] - Good ambient-ish vibes - [[Mica Levi]], [[Blue Alibi]] - Kind of a mixed bag. Om Om Om Om is pretty good. #list #listeningnotes
