I bought three new albums on amazon this week. First, the new Roots album. It is quite good. It's a concept album that is a man's life story played in reverse, which makes you listen a bit closer to the lyrics. The beats, music, and production show why ?uestlove is one of the best in the business. These guys care about their music. I've been a fan of the Roots since their second album and this one does not disappoint.
Second, the greatest hits of Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was five bucks this month and has "Cities in Dust" on it as well as a killer cover of "Dear Prudence." Connor really likes it too, which adds another layer to his musical knowledge.
Third, Hail Mary Mallon's debut. I posted a video for "Grubstake" a little while ago and as I couldn't get it out of the ol noggin, I bought the album. I haven't had much time to listen to it, but what I've heard is good. You have to dig deep anymore to find rap that isn't pure pop/crossover shit.
Fourth, I bought the vinyl of the lost Hank Williams covers since Third Man put it out and remembered why I'm not a country fan. Not all country is bad to these ears, but this just didn't do it for me so it will probably sit on the shelf as a collection rounder outer.
