#199: “Slanted & Enchanted” by Pavement
I was excited for this, but it was more hit-and-miss than I expected. It’s a cool sound with the ultra distorted guitar, but maybe a bit too grating for my (normie) tastes.
Best: Summer Babe, Zurich is Stained
Skip: Jackals, False Grails
Rating: 6.5/10

#200: “Diamond Life” by Sade
An incredibly smooth, jazzy, easy-to-listen-to album. I’m not sure that this would be an everyday album for me, but I certainly understand how this became as influential as it did.

Best: Your Love is King, Smooth Operator

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
