Albums of the Week (Issue #3)

November 23rd, 2025 - November 29th, 2025

1) Nico - Chelsea Girl

    Chamber Folk - 1967

    Very different from the historic 'Velvet Underground & Nico' record but still containing some of its edge. Much more reserved in style, but still a fantastic folk album nonetheless.

2) Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left

    Singer-Songwriter - 1969

    Some absolutely gorgeous tunes in here, especially "River Man." Nick Drake's debut album is a testament to his genius and musical beauty.

3) Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music

    Third Stream - 1972

    A grand, jaw-dropping epic spanning several genres and emotions! Arguably a better work than 'The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.'

4) De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate

    Jazz Rap - 1993

    You haven't lived life until you've played "Breakadawn" as you watch the sunrise. 

5) Broadcast - Tender Buttons

    Indietronica - 2005

    An album that feels lost in the annals of time and space with its unusual synth sounds and the hypnotic, enigmatic lyrics and vocal delivery by lead singer Trish Keenan. 

Bonus: The Band - The Last Waltz

    Folk Rock - 1978

    A classic to put on for Thanksgiving with your friends and folks.

Leave comments on any of these albums you've listened to or any album recommendations for others wanting to dive more into the artists from this week. Until then, keep exploring good music!

  Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Albums of the Week (Issue #11) January 18th, 2026 - January 24th, 2026 1) Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin'      Hard Bop - 1958      Sonny Clark's 1958 record is proof of Clark's genius and his short-lived career cut short by a sudden death. With a deeper focus in the grooves and improvisational aspect of bop, Sonny Clark and his band comes to life in this brilliant cult classic. 2) Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different      Funk - 1974      With her controversial performance style and sexually charged lyricism, Betty Davis delivers an uncompromising collection of funk music . Davis's album features an amazing rhythm section with a dirty bass sound and Davis's vocals barge through speakers with attitude and pure funk rawness. 3) The Gun Club - Fire of Love      Punk Blues - 1981     An interesting mashup of punk rock with blues influence, The Gun Club shook the alternative music scene with startling firepowe...
