My list of the best lyrics (not in a particular order) from The 1975’s Being Funny in a Foreign Language:
1. I know some "Vaccinista tote bag chic baristas"
Sitting east on their communista keisters
2."Don't fuck it, you muppet"
3. woman you are 64 years old!
4. And I'll miss you on a train
I'll miss you in the morning
5.I'm sorry about my twenties, I was learnin' the ropes
I had a tendency of thinking 'bout it after I spoke

HONORABLE MENTION
Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE
I know it’s coming... *hands on hips* “Honorable mention?!?”
I just can't listen to Renaissance straight through. I’ve tried and tried and tried. When it comes to my listening experience, I approach music sonically first, following the story and arrangement of the music instruments, and how the timbre of one's singing or rapping meets and interweaves between those elements. Give me an audio painting with a tapestry of enthralling colors and textures that I can feel. Then I'll invite in the lyrics.
It's like cinema. The average person most likely follows the eyes of the camera as it relates to the dialogue for the cinematic story. The way my brain is wired 🤖 I have to separate a number of other elements into parts as the story moves along — from the color grading and lighting to the sound design and mise-en-scène — to fully understand the director's vision and grasp the actual tale.
The thing about Renaissance as a whole is that it doesn't breathe enough for me. It feels chaotic like a tide than a flow if I let it run straight through. Give me spatial, darling! But that's the intentional, heavy-handed part about Renaissance, especially on the heels of a post-pandemic world: "Get tf up, dance and feel good." I don't wanna dance; I just wanna listen 😩 lol
Side note:
We all have a specific musical palette as to why we fully gravitate to some songs/albums and not to others. I posted my review of Susan Roger’s book, This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You, a few months ago. (She was Prince's sound engineer from 1983 to 1988.) If you’re curious about why you like the music you like, I recommend for you to read it.

Sobs - Air Guitar
(Power Pop, Indie Rock, Jangle Pop)
A vision of indie rock where cosmopolitan power pop is steeped in the sound of 2000s electronica, skater punk and 90s twee pop, Sobs' first album in four years is the trio's every ambition realized. Pulling entirely away from the interior dream pop of their debut, Air Guitar's fizzy pop tunes give Celine Autumn's fantasies of love and heartbreak a timeless effervescence.
☆☆☆☆☆
From burnout often comes the most necessary artistic turnarounds, and that has never been truer for Sobs. Dropping into the 2010's indie pop scene with 2017's wonderfully pensive Catflap EP and their full-length debut Telltale Signs the year after, Sobs' relaxed bedroom pop sound made their hooks and chewy melodies land immediately and the trio's charm readily apparent, but it limited them to the point they needed to start exploring new ideas before stepping up to the plate again. Vocalist/guitarist Celine Autumn found herself embracing the brash and bold colors of hyperpop on her 2021 Cayenne EP, co-produced with Sobs bandmate Jared Lim, and the sugarcoated sound of those four glossy electropop tunes infects Sobs' jangly indie rock by way of 90s power pop and electronica, their sophomore album Air Guitar four years in the making with all the sharpness and perfection you'd expect from that timeframe as Autumn sings of cold romances and the anxiety of a sparkly new relationship with Lim's production and engineering evoking everything from skater punk to 90s twee pop to 80s new wave as he brightens up all the corners and leaves no area without a splash of neon paint. It's a constant rush of energy coming at you, but Sobs refuses to let a second of Air Guitar go to waste, their post-internet stew of modern production and classic indie rock formulas full of life and spotless no matter where you look.
Lighter and lovelier than most of their fast-paced indie rock contemporaries, Sobs take advantage of power pop's huge choruses and crisp melodies in a myriad of genres, their inspirations ranging from Advantage Lucy's playful indie pop to C86 jangle pop to Weezer-indebted pop rock as Air Guitar scales up and down the trio's ambitious tree of ideas. Lucked Out stuffs a verse, two choruses and a bridge into less than two minutes, Autumn challenging herself to write the catchiest melody possible while Lim and Raphael Ong riff on noisy guitars and Shaun Khiu's killer drum work - his contributions to the album a constant delight whether it's the plain backbeat groove on Dealbreaker or LOML's four-on-the-floor kick & snare along with flashy drum fills when the moment calls. These are just some damn good pop songs, whether it comes in the form of Friday Night's drum 'n' bass-infused electropop, the grungy power pop highlight Burn Book, or a lighthearted Gwen Stefani in the case of Cool, Sobs' embrace of bigger instrumentation and hefty hooks holding onto the warmth and enclosure of their previous releases while making songs big enough to fill an entire stadium. Air Guitar is plain and simple indie pop through and through, but Sobs provide such a thrilling spin on things that they end up in a league entirely of their own.
What balances all this bubblegum pop magic out is Autumn's songwriting and the band's thoughtful detours, Air Guitar's lamentations on unavailable love and the ache of new romance not just a layer of melancholy draped on top of raucous indie pop tunes but a core part of how the music unfolds. On the title track, sparkly synths and distortion-coated guitars play of the dissonance of an unnurturing partner she can't quite seem to drop ("I was searching for peace / But you swept through like nature / Changed the trajectory"), too nervous to officially end things but desperately searching for escape in the song's glimmering guitar work and tense percussion, and the post-punk kick of World Implode on the album's back half constructs a shoegaze noise wall around Autumn's most tender feelings of of imposter syndrome and held-back desire ("Is it weird, though I try to, I could never forget? / Does it make it any easier for us to pretend?"). Indie rock has existed at the intersection of introspection and escape for as long as easily accessible recording equipment has been around, but Sobs truly take advantage of it as technicolor swirls of noise pop (LOML) and synth-soaked jangle pop (Dealbreaker) juxtapose sensitive and heartfelt writing that draws from the history of confessional rock music without bending to its will, Sobs' own wavelength guiding them everywhere they go.
Air Guitar is lovingly crafted pop songs with a dimension of depth and diversity to them few other bands can match, Sobs able to cram a discography's worth of ideas into 30 minutes and distill only the best elements of their music into these ten tracks regardless. It never feels overstuffed or hodgepodge because Sobs knows exactly how much they can fit into a good pop song before it completely bursts, always pushing the boundaries with Friday Night's surprise ending or the 90s grunge-pop kick of Burn Book but never losing tipping the scales too far one way. After four years of absence, they've absolutely nothing to lose and use the opportunity to try anything and everything with Air Guitar, their sublime hooks and fun instrumentation unsurprising for a trio so well-versed in indie pop but absolutely stunning in how they're contorted to execute some of the coolest ideas rock music has ran into this year. Air Guitar risks it all going for a home run time and time again, but they land every swing so solid that it's impossible to imagine how these songs could have turned out any other way.

Album Review: Janis Joplin & Jorma Kaukonen - The Legendary Typewriter Tape: 6/25/64 Jorma’s House
Tappity, tappity, tap.
Though she is not credited, Margareta Kaukonen is a titular presence on the Legendary Typewriter Tape, busily writing in the background as Janis Joplin and Jorma Kaukonen work out their coffee-house blues set on a summer afternoon in 1964.
Joplin sings. Kaukonen plays guitar. And his boots provide rhythmic accompaniment to the typing in process.
Clackety, clackety, clack.
Then unknown and trying to change that, Joplin and Kaukonen run through six tracks including “Trouble in Mind,” “Hesitation Blues” and the Joplin original “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.” They flesh out a proper ending to “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” and talk of opening gigs with Joplin, in chiffon dress, emerging from behind a gold lamé curtain.
Tap. Tappity, tap tap.
The recording has long circulated among fans and Kaukonen sometimes mentions it when he plays intimate gigs at his Fur Peace Ranch in Ohio. Now restored and officially released with the unwieldy but accurate name, The Legendary Typewriter Tape: 6/25/64 Jorma’s House, it's more than an aural glimpse of two pre-fame legends - though it certainly is that.
More importantly for listeners in 2022, it’s quality music - the kind of thing people would want to hear even if Janis Joplin hadn’t become one of the greatest blues singers to emerge from the 1960s and Jorma Kaukonen hadn’t become a co-founder of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, a band with which he still plays some of these songs to this day.
Clack, clack. Tap, tap. Clack.

QUIETLY URGENT
Decked out in silver platform boots and a feather boa, Brian Eno first rose to prominence as a member of art rockers Roxy Music, appearing on their first two albums. Yet he is probably best known as a producer and for his solo work, particularly in the ambient genre. In fact, Eno is often credited with coining the term “ambient music” with the release of Ambient 1: Music for Airports in 1978.…

Viva Las Vengeance
Not gonna lie, I dreaded this album coming out.
I gave the singles a cursory listen once or twice each, and was quickly underwhelmed.
Fortunately, after a listen-through on better headphones and without distractions, I can happily admit that I was wrong.
This album is somewhat of a departure from prior ones, and certainly different from its predecessor, Pray for the Wicked. While not scientific by any means, I've noticed that newer, younger fans tended to prefer the sound of Pray for the Wicked; its more polished production and pop-friendly sound walked a line between being a niche alt totem and something blandly radio-friendly. Viva las Vengeance took the same spirit of playing with the elements of a genre and applied it in a new direction, taking 70's and 80's rock and associated genres' identifying elements and weaving them into something contemporary.
Numerous professional reviews go into detail picking out the specific artists and bands influencing each of the songs on the track list; however, the underpinnings of the album are 70's and 80's rock, new-wave, with some punk elements. Adding in Brendon's theatrical vocals and talents, the album is something that any Zoomer or Millenial could conceivably listen to while sharing an earbud with a Gen X or Boomer relative and both parties would have a great time.
My major criticism is that the production (the album was recorded on tape) is a bit more finicky, and listening on lower fidelity devices or mediums greatly diminishes the experience. On a phone speaker or stock car radio, Brendon's dominant vocals drown out the instrumentals to the point that the nuance of the backing track is lost. However, on better headphones or speakers these elements are much easier to pick up on and the songs sound more polished and complete. I think this addresses a big fanbase complaint about the production quality; whether any given listener continues to dislike the song itself after making that correction is a question of taste and preference rather than the production itself.
Some criticisms I've picked up from other listeners are gripes about key changes and Brendon's penchant for 'belting' on this album. Several of the songs do feature jarring key changes; on multiple listens with better audio, they are much less abrupt but may not translate well to radio speakers. As to the 'belting', there is a lot of it. The vocals are much more theatrical than prior efforts, and lend a lot of emotion to songs that might have otherwise sounded trite.
Overall, I would give this album a 4/5. Brendon Urie takes the sound of P!ATD in a direction that is both a departure and natural evolution of the sound that we've come to expect from him, namely a sound that evolves with each album and takes some of the core pieces that make Panic!, Panic! on adventures through genre. From their first album, Panic! has been difficult to pigeonhole into just one genre, and Viva Las Vengeance cements this trend as Urie takes his sound and finds fresh ways to interpret classic genres in a way that is more wide ranging than other similar concept albums such as Weezer's Van Weezer. It may disappoint younger listeners who are less interested in the sound of previous decades, however for older listeners or a listener who enjoys going on a bit of a time travel adventure, this album takes Urie's best qualities and repackages them into something familiar yet completely new.
