비록 이 블로그는 더 이상 사용하지 않지만, 네이버 쪽으로 복사할 글을 미리 닦는 용도로 쓸 수는 있겠다. -> 다음 달부터는 네이버 임시저장 기능을 사용할 것.

====================

이 달에 접한 음악

1. Neil Young - Comes a Time [1978, Reprise] *essential

너무 늦었지만 지금이라도 바로잡는다 . . . A

2. Arca - Kick IIIII [2021, XL]

Choice Cut: "Crown"

3. The Who - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Who [1999, MCA]

Choice Cut: "Who Are You"

4. B.B. King - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of B.B. King [1999, MCA]

Listen to him absolutely nailing "Sweet Sixteen" for the umpteenth time. Listen to him shouting the devil out of "Into the Night". Listen to him seizing his righteous initiative in "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss". A-

5. Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield [1966, Atco] *essential

너무 늦었지만 지금이라도 바로잡는다 . . . A

6. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home [1965, Columbia]

I always hated these lyrics except for the ones on "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "She Belongs to Me"(they're quite brilliant) and some scattered lines here and there that are quite brilliant. And he's very lucky the Byrds made the not-so-brilliant "Mr. Tambourine Man" a hit.

Choice Cut: "Subterranean Homesick Blues", "She Belongs to Me"

7. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited [1965, Columbia]

This music is a lot better than the overrated Bringing It All Back Home, but still these lyrics are constant turn-offs. Technically, I should be excited over rowdy songs like "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" or "From a Buick 6". But I don't, because I can't. Therein lies the difference between me and other very smart people who love this record, and I do respect them; the band really is a good one after all.

Choice Cut: "Like a Rolling Stone"



Marginal Records:

1. Thelonious Monk - Piano Solo [1954, Swing]

2. Arca - Kick IIII [2021, XL]

3. Arca - Kick III [2021, XL]

4. Arca - Kick II [2021, XL]

5. [VA] - Motown Instrumentals [1977, Natural Resources]

6. Cream - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Cream [Polydor, 2000]

a real disappointment, this one

7. The Master Musicians of Joujouka - Live in Paris [2021, Unlistenable]

not to be confused with the Master Musicians of Jajouka (led by Bachir Attar)

8. Stro Elliot - Black & Loud: James Brown Reimagined by Stro Elliot [2022, Republic]

Stro Elliot (from the Roots) came up with a JB remix album you don't need

9. Aerosmith - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Aerosmith [2007, Geffen]

not the career retrospective album I hoped; "represents only their most popular recordings made for Geffen Records between 1987 and 1994." Yikes.

10. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Hooked on Classics [1981, K-Tel]

이 앨범을 B+로 분류해야 되나 Marginal로 분류해야 되나 고민이다. 일단 블로그에 내 감상문을 적을 가치는 있는 물건인데 . . .
