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…

Weekly Wrap Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023)

Who knows how long this one will last, but I've decided to try something different for Saturdays. Basically, just a sort of, rambly, weekly wrap up of... life. No structured requirements, maybe nothing happened and it ends up being short. Basically just sort of, straight regular journaling. What I've been doing, what I've gotten new, any major events, that sort of thing. I won't discuss work really, except in vague terms, for a variety of reasons. Something little I've been wanting to do, I added some outside speakers to my music set up, so I can listen to music outside…

Aurora – A Different Kind of Human

I figure I should just continue on from Infections of a Different Kind with the follow-up album, A Different Kind of Human. These are, in theory, two parts to a greater whole, though it's not clear if there will every actually be anymore of that whole, I personally hope so. Aurora's fourth album, The Gods We Can Touch, has grown on me since it was first released, but I still don't enjoy it as much as her previous albums and it definitely has a slightly different feel to it overall. Of the pair, I think overall I prefer A Different…
