I just so happened to have the self titled Wilco album out from the library

Great, under appreciated album in their catalog

Such favorites as Bull Black Nova, You Never Know, I'll Fight

But the standout is You and I, which I was introduced to as the closing song to the Netflix TV show Love.

We'll have to see where they go from there

I also happen to be reading guitarist Joe Trohman's memoir 'None of this Rocks'

OTD 2023

@falloutboy.bsky.social 's return to form album So Much (for) Stardust

I think the predecessor Mania got a bad wrap, the album was tight and you could hear their voice at it's core.

SM(f)S is a familiar sound that they clearly thrive at, but it's not a complete reversal.

OTD 2016: Pinegrove Cardinal

This album was huge for me, it was on constant repeat thru 2016 and it really opened my eyes to folk music.

A coworker introduced me to the band after they snuck into their show in Boston and, to quote their review "they killed it"

A fantastic combo of folk and emo

Released OTD in 2017, Andrew McMahon's 2nd 'solo' album

Honestly, I like the s/t debut prior to this

That's the great thing about owning physical media, spend more time with it and it grows on you. I admire it for going out of the box compared to anything else he'd put out yet

Fav track: So Close

I got to see Dino Jr just over a year ago at the Strand in Prov, RI

They played a tight set to a low key crowd (it was a Thursday night)

They were just finished with a run celebrating 30 years of Where You Been

They treated us to a diverse set, including 4 songs from their debut album

Released OTD in 1993

Dinosaur jr's 'Where You Been'

Probably their most popular album, if not 2nd to 94s 'Without a Sound'

This period of the band saw J Mascis have total creative control of the band as he wrote, recorded, and produced nearly everything on the record

Fav track: What Else is New

Man, this song goes way harder than it needed to

Released OTD in 2009, and later on this Special Edition

ADTR's Homesick was a standout of the genre/scene at the time

The album still kicks, but the band seems to have lost steam over the years - never topping this as their best release (IMO)

Fav track: I'm Made of Wax Larry

Released OTD in 1970, the 5th and final album from Simon & Garfunkel

An early addition to a year that turned out some of my favorite studio albums

Just another addition to the discography of the Wrecking Crew of studio musicians

Favorite Track: The Only Living Boy in New York
