Weekly Wrap-Up (09.03.2023 to 09.09.2023)

This week will be a bit music-heavy, not so much about anything specific, but about what I have been doing in general. It honestly could almost be its own, separate post and topic, instead of a weekly wrap post.Anyway. Roughly, 4 months or so ago, Target Circle had a 3 months free offer for Apple Music and Apple TV. I have no interest in Apple TV's content, sorry Ted Lasso. I did take the offer, so I could watch Tetris, then immediately set it to cancel. The Apple Music I did want to try out. I don't make it any…

Nirvana – Unplugged in New York

Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" album, recorded for MTV's Unplugged show, holds a special place as a fan favorite. Released after Kurt Cobain's passing, the album stands out for its intimate and unconventional "Unplugged" set, featuring electric effects and covers of lesser-known songs. Notable tracks include their rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World," "Lake of Fire" by Meat Puppets (with their participation), and the haunting folk song "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." This album allows Nirvana to showcase a different facet of their music, blending their signature grunge style with a more polished yet raw sound, making it a cherished classic for fans and music enthusiasts alike.

Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…

Alanis Morissette @ IL State Fair Grandstand feat Tenille Townes

Alanis Morrissette, singing Ironic, the first song she has actually heavily encouraged audience participation in, and her mic goes out. The audience had already been doing like 50-75% of the song without her so the band just continued and no one noticed until it came back a few seconds later. It's it Ironic? Don't cha think? Last night, I went and saw Alanis Morrissette perform at the Illinois State Fair. In traditional fashion, I'm going to ramble on a bit about the whole night's experience. For the sake of simplicity, you can get a bit more highlights about my love…

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

Here's another album for the "This is already so popular" list of albums, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Per Wikipedia, it's the 13th biggest-selling album, ever, and the 3rd biggest put out by a woman. There is a good chance that you've at least heard a song from this album, somewhere. It's an album that really sort of embodied a lot of the 90s feel at the time. It's an album that I listened to a lot in High School and beyond, and it's a strong strong contender for "Most listened to album". I like to track music as much…
