A week ago I didn't have a job, I was super-stressed and I didn't really listen to a whole lot of music. As of yesterday I finally have another job at an art gallery, the stress went away and I'm down to listen to any recs you guys have to offer.
Also listened to the new Andy Shauf album yesterday and I don't think "Jaywalker" is anywhere close to leaving my head.
I vaguely remember hearing about this project a few years back and just assumed it died in development hell. Cool to hear it's getting off the ground, really liked Love & Mercy.
I like Harry Styles enough, and I feel like this is the one corner of the internet where I won't be hassled by saying I don't really like Marvel, so mixed feelings all around.
You'd think someone who "played a central role in sculpting the sound of mainstream pop today" would sound less like a sub-James Blunt wannabe by himself.
I can't imagine being a millennial listening to this in 2011 and feeling so amped up and thinking "Man we have Obama in office, Occupy Wall Street is gonna make the fatcats pay, and we have banger music on top of it? Being a millennial is the greatest and coolest thing in the world!" And then cut to 10 years later and you're routinely dunked on by zoomers and you won't stop talking about how great the 80s/90s were while living in the aftermath of the Trump years.
Anyways great album.
