0108 They Might Be Giants - They Might Be Giants
(USA, 1986, indie pop / alternative rock)


A brilliant debut with fun, catchy songs the whole family can sing along to, this album is an excellent blueprint upon which the band will build with their next three perfect albums. If you think TMBG is all fun and games, though, you’re sadly mistaken. They have deep, sarcastic, and sometimes dark lyrics. They deserve a close listen.

0109 Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')
(USA, 1974, jazz-rock / art rock / experimental rock)


This is the soundtrack to clubbing a baby seal with a lead snowshoe before going to a pancake restaurant and stealing the margarine. As always, the music is genius, and the lyrics are retarded, puerile, and childish—but I guess that’s Zappa’s goal across his discography.

0110 Hampshire & Foat - Nightshade
(UK, 2018, modal jazz / chamber jazz / library music)


From saxophones in smoky lounges to flutes on lonely mountaintops to mini piano concertos, this album runs the gamut of easy listening.

TBF they're essentially the same journal with different albums.

I've been thinking this lately. See what I mean? OH is my doppelganger. Or worse, I'm his. FML either way.

You give more of your in-depth personal flavor opinions about albums though so your journal is still more interesting to read. He's kind of lazy.

I was on the fence, but now my answer is definitely "yes"!

Not sure what else it should be, since this is a music forum, and I'm not a musician.

Should I write about how I shave my balls once a week?
