Uh, I don't listen to much that's new. But funny you should mention it -- I listened to the Zach Bryan album. I kind of dig it, but I'm not getting what all the fuss is about. I mean, his crowds seem a bit too into it for the talent level, which is certainly there but not like some people have had. I have not scoped Olivia Rodrigo's new one and don't expect to. PiL came out with a new album, but the first song was a slog, so I quit, which I really shouldn't do.
What did I listen to recently? I'm trying to remember. Michael by Killer Mike, which is good. I've also taken that opportunity (while I'm RTJ'ing) to really sit and listen to their first one, which I never really had or forgot how good it was. I missed an utter bomb of a track off of that album. I also rediscovered El-P's I'll Sleep When You're Dead, which is nice. I was doing that all in prep for our MAD II, which I sort of withdrew from but reserve the right to enter again if not too late.
I think between M.A.D. 1 and other things, I just haven't really listened.
Oh, I got a Trojan Records deluxe vinyl of Desmond Dekker, which I've certainly enjoyed on sunny days. It's pretty awesome.
And that's about it. How about you?
