2022 week 1 | valentine by snail mail (AKA I'M BACK BB!)

there it is again, that funny feeling/blog that hopefully no one reads probably. since I only made it to week 6 last year (2021 was a shitshow blur following the shitshow tornado of 2020), now here we are in 2022. and i’m at it again, hopefully for the long haul this time. I need it. my brain needs it, my heart needs it, my whole being needs it.

and I’m kicking off with a classic, one of the very earliest OG albums of the week (2018’s Lush by Snail Mail) back at it with the 2021 album, Valentine, which I dabbled with in the interim, but hadn’t gone deep. and once more, I’m not really here to full-on review, but I am here to listen and be delighted and feel things and rock out and enjoy. which, thus far, I have :)

week 2 | Lush by Snail Mail

This week, I decided to use Stereogum’s "Best Albums of 2018” list to pick a new album. Eventually I will get into their #1 pick, Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour, but I decided this week to go with their #2 pick, Lush by Snail Mail. This choice was a little bit arbitrary but something about it felt like a better transition after spending a week with Bjork.

Anyway, it’s cool and chill and rad and I’m into it and…

The bop of the week is…”Golden Dream” !"
