Album of the week

Awesome, I went ahead and dropped both links right into the first post 👍

Does it have to be strictly older albums, or can we throw some new ones into the mix?

I’m still feeling really strongly about Folklore 😁

I'm still totally feeling Folklore 😁

Of course! No rules here at all... 🙂 Mind if I jot this down for the next poll? 😁

Thinking about maybe doing this next week 😁 :

Don't write anything down yet—I haven't totally made up my mind.

Dead Kennedys & Jello Biafra

Can I nominate this to start a thread? I mean, everyone knows who Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra are, but does everyone actually know about this incredible collaboration?!

Just you wait until Friday arrives...

Can I nominate this to start a new thread? I mean, sure, everyone knows Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra... but does everyone know about this absolutely stunning collaboration?!

I definitely do! I'll make a note for Friday...😁

Open floor for suggestions! So far we've officially passed on Finn and Dead Kennedys & Jello Biafra.

Vancha mentioned earlier that she might want to nominate Harvey Pitt, but I'll let her weigh in on that first.

As for me, here's my pick: Kyuss - ...And the Circus Leaves Town

What about you guys? What are you thinking?

My suggestion: The Idiots - We're Only Here for the Money (1990)
Lyrics


1. I won't work for dollars
2. We're only here for the money
3. ...the day I was left all alone
4. Goodbye, Mary
5. People from the underground
6. Miniature
7. How can this be
8. Death
9. I loved you madly
10. Crazy from...
11. Bandier Ross

I’m throwing out Angel Dust by a Faith No More fan. Let's just sing along and enjoy the vibe. Music is pure joy.

I’ve got a massive soft spot for Kyuss and those absolute idiots in Queens of the Stone Age, but honestly, how am I supposed to go out there and vote for my own proposal now?! 😁

Alright, I’m throwing out a suggestion: let's go with a young, fresh PJ Harvey. Specifically, let's do 'Get Rid of Me' from 1993.

Maybe put it right after 'Spiderland' (that's also a second album, and the vibe is pretty similar),
and it might be cool to see a week where we compare PJ to Fiona Apple and her latest record.

+
Bonus: the studio atmosphere during the recording sessions shown in that 'Reeling' documentary,
featuring Rob Ellis, those vocal effects he used, PJ, Albini & His Flaming Feet. 🎉

Earl Sweatshirt - some rap Songs

Here’s my pick:

Caetano Veloso - Transa (1972)

Angel Dust 😍 😍
I already love that one, so I think I’m gonna cast my vote for PJ.

Honestly, though—I feel like offering more than four or maybe five albums is kind of counterproductive since it just thins out the votes too much... but hey, it's up to you guys.

Solid titles, for sure, but what are we actually listening to? 🙂 We're voting in the poll right now.

And hey, way more suggestions this time compared to last week! I'm really hoping that momentum carries over into even more activity for the next one... 😉

I’m sticking to my guns with option B:

Jakarta - mask for two (1984)

Hopefully, I haven't missed the boat on this one.

Added 😉

We’re getting so close to the end of the survey! If you haven't jumped in yet, please do it now before the deadline hits 😉

Also, honestly? Having this many suggestions might actually be a bit much... so I'm thinking we should cap it at five max. And hey, it might be easier if we don't submit them ahead of time—let's just see how things look on Thursday and decide right then and there.

Maybe sticking to 5 max is a smart move. 🙂

Honestly, I feel kind of awkward voting for PJ right now. If I do, what happens to those top 3 albums of the week?
And all these albums sitting there with two votes ahead of everything else... I don't even know who they are...

I don't think we're actually going to open three different threads for Album of the Week... two was already pushing it, honestly! 🙂Go ahead and cast your vote for your favorite, though. Who knows? Maybe yours will end up taking the crown!
