2024 Album #7- Benefit (Jethro Tull)

1970 Album; kind of tiresome after a while.

2024 Album #6- I Left My Heart in Ladera (Terrace Martin/Alex Isley)

2023

Not too much notable here; couple of good songs. I mixed up Terrace and Terrance Martin.

Playing With Words #1

Abundance seems like a steady supply

Almost like it was lucked into

Overflow creeps into accidental crisis territory

We have an abundance of trees here

It's a good place to relocate

We have an overflow of migrants

They are being bused and flown elsewhere

Let me be abundantly clear

We're doing this out of an abundance of caution

No one's allowed into the office

The CEO is overflowing with praise since everyone met their goals

2024 Album #5- Is It? Ben Howard

2023

Yeah, dullsville pretty much. Ben Howard, other than one album, is just "out there" doing his own thing. I don't think I need to hear more.

On the Horizon

Albums to listen to:

Is It?- Ben Howard

I Left My Heart in Ladera- Terrance Martin and Alex Isley

2024 Album #5- Star-Crossed (Kacey Musgraves)

2021

Impressions:

Kind of monotonous and the vocals just seem flat. Maybe I just listened to the wrong KM album. Of course, the album might be universally beloved and it's just not my thing. One song that I particularly liked, the others didn't really trip my fancy.
