"We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death."

It's not often that I'm in the mood for this one, but here we are. On Valentine's Day, nonetheless.

Bought this on a whim today. I'm amazed at how good it is. I remember listening to their debut and not getting too excited about it. I had no idea their subsequent records were so excellent. Will be revisiting.

I've owned this album for an incredibly long time, but I have yet to listen to it the whole way through. Doing that this morning.

Last one for the evening... I think this is a terribly underrated R.E.M. album.

R.E.M. - Up (1998)

I can't believe this was released 24 years ago (almost to the day). It falls at #20 on my pretentious list of personal favorite albums. I love this thing more than any of the Bright Eyes albums. Still hits home today.

Desaparecidos - Read Music/Speak Spanish (2002)

I was a few years late to discovering TAGABOW. Their most recent album, LOTTO, is probably my favorite... followed closely by the debut:

They Are Gutting a Body of Water - Gestures Been (2018)

I've been listening to a lot of Quarterstick/Touch and Go bands lately. This offering is one of my favorites. Their forthcoming live album is sold out on Bandcamp-- anyone know if it will be available elsewhere?

June of 44 - Engine Takes to the Water (1995)

Just testing this out. I'm not familiar with Bluesky functionality.
