RELISTEN1: Childish Gambino (up)

230: lovelytheband (A)

lovelytheband in tier list I like it all a lot. It’s nothing crazy, but it does what it does really well and I consistently looked forward to the next day’s album. I liked pretty much every album, all the singles, and each one more than the last. To the point that I’m not sure whatContinue reading “230: lovelytheband (A)”

229: Mark Ambor (B)

Mark Ambor in tier list I’m not counting Hello World as an album. That’s arbitrary, but so it is. I like him, all around. He’s super consistent, there’s not really a bad song.

I quickly realized my mistake, so this’ll go in as its own artist, and I’ll be starting Estefan’s solo stuff in earnestContinue reading “227: Miami Sound Machine (B-)”

Back, More English!

I’ve been thinking about how I want to write this post, how I want to convert the thoughts and conversations I’ve already had about it into something coherent, and I’ve ultimately decided that less is more. Those thoughts and conversations were coherent enough for me when I had them, and they can be coherent enoughContinue reading “Back, More English!”
