Music Club
So for my CBversary a few people said they wanted to do this. I am working on a Little Lost Library revival but that will probably take a while. In the meantime, here's the music club!
This is for anyone who loves music and wants to discover new artists. To join, just comment saying you want to join. Next Friday, we'll start rotating, starting with me and then in order of who commented. Anyone can join the rotation at any time! If you comment saying you want to join, you'll be added to the end of the rotation.
The way it will work is each week, the next person in the rotation picks an album to reccomend, and everyone listens to it. Once you've listened to the album, say a little about what you thought of it! Doesn't have to be too much, just something like, "I enjoyed it" or "It wasn't really for me" and maybe something like "___ was my favorite song" or whatever.
I think that's it! We'll start on the 26th :D

I'm listening to it as I type this! "Alewife," to be exact :)
Okay, I'll be honest - I have a hard time making out the words, but I like the music! It's very quiet and peaceful somehow, and Clairo has a pretty voice. I feel like it would be a good song to listen to when you just need to space out. I like those soaring undertones in the music and the overall wistfulness.
And I just skipped ahead to "Sofia" to see what it's like. It's actually kind of like I had imagined it to be. It feels like a mix between rock and pop with its own vibe thrown in. If I had to assign a color to it, it would be turqoise blue. Hmm, I would actually kind of like to see this song incorporated into a movie as background music. (Don't mind me, I'm always thinking about how to incorporate music in movies :) )
Anyway, overall it's a little too pop-sounding for me personally, and (again, just for me personally) it doesn't have as much energy as I would like, but those are just my thoughts! I might give "Sofia" a listen again at some point, I think it was my favorite song on the album :)

will give it a listen and post my thoughts!
(January 25, 2024 - 10:22 pm)
Will listen to it when I can! But also yes I know I say this a lot too but I ~loveeeeeeee~ Sofia tysm (yes, again, for like the millionth time) for recommending!! It's really big in my life right now, and so-
but yes! Excited to listen to all the other songs!! :D
Feiya says WIYZN. Wise and? Why's and? Or will listen? :) Hopefully that's a good sign I'll be able to find some time this week! :)

I just listened to the album Immunity, and I thought it was pretty good. I wrote poems to each song for fun lol
My favorite song is probably Impossible.
(January 25, 2024 - 11:33 pm)
i love Immunity! i think you were the one who first introduced me to Clairo years ago, Peri, and i'm always grateful for an excuse to listen to her some more lol! i love how earnest and emotional the lyrics are, and all the songs feel so soft and pretty. i love the variety of sounds and subject matter, and it's all just so masterfully done. this album honestly makes me so nostalgic because i listened to it so much in late 2021, and yeah, like you said, Peri, it was such a pivotal album in the development of my music taste :]
special shout out to my mother who pronounces clairo like "claire-ee-oh" no matter how many times i correct her lol
some of my favorite songs are "Sinking," "North," "I Wouldn't Ask You," and "Bags," though, honestly, i love all of them!
never seen a face like yours / i got it together but my breath feels short / i don't wanna close the door / maybe i should just go up north~

Just started to listen to it. Pretty good so far!
(January 26, 2024 - 1:47 pm)
I finished it! :D
My favourite songs were Bags, Sofia, and I Wouldn't Ask You. Becuase Sofia and Bags are the ones that are a little more upbeat, I guess? And I Wouldn't Ask You because... it literally gave me goosebumps. What a beautiful song. And I liked how it changed. (that's one of my 'things' with music haha I get kinda bored when it doesn't have a big change).
Overall, I'd give this album a 9/10. It's really, really good!! Tysm for recommending this!!!
Oh and this is totally unrelated but he first few bars of 'cardigan' by Taylor Swift also gives me goosebumps, cause I've heard it so many times.
(January 26, 2024 - 7:41 pm)
I listened to it! She has a gorgeous voice, but I don't think it's really my type of music. But it was good, I'd give it 6/10. Sofia and Softly was probably my favorite :)
(January 26, 2024 - 8:50 pm)
i actually really liked immunity! i have mixed feelings about the whole "bedroom pop genre, it's cool, but not entirely for me, i guess? but i've never listened to clairo, and let me just say, her voice is absolutely gorgeous! the whole album built on one cohesive ambiance, which was really cool, it was so soft and restrained and subtle... not usually stuff i seek out in music, i'm much more into... harsh, over-the-top, emotional overload stuff, but it's cool to listen to things outside of the norm of what you generally listen to! my favorite song was Bags, and i'd overall give the album a 7.5, probably!
(January 26, 2024 - 10:53 pm)
Listening to it right now :) I like some of the songs more than the others - in general, they're not quite my style, but I like the album more than I do a lot of pop music. Her voice is nice, and the basic melody is also good, but the instrumental isn't quite what I generally like. "North" reminds me somehow of pangolin (which is interesting since you do like it, @pangolin), and "Sofia" is nice (listening to it in particular at the moment). It's probably a bit livelier than the others. Not my favorite music ever, but interesting to give it a try :)

Posting a quick song-by-song comment without read-through sorry, these are my opinions while listening-
alewife - lovelovelove, the beats and voice and start on "and" and everything
impossible - also like wow love sm, love that chorus or whatever sm ("and I know...")
(January 29, 2024 - 9:10 pm)
Ok sorry that was a lie, there wasn't limited time...
(January 29, 2024 - 9:33 pm)
Ok...So. I liked some of the songs for sure, but I guess it just wasn't exaclty my genre? She has a gorge voice, and the lyrics are awesome, I just prefer more upbeat things i suppose? Although I did add a couple of the songs to my 'sad' playlist lol.
But overall, it was good, just not exactly the genre I prefer. I actually really like the song 'flaming hot cheetos' by clairo, but that isn't from the album.

Hi! So tomorrow (and the next day) I'll be traveling (moving) so I'm not really sure if I'll be able to come on here, so I'm posting the album today, if that's fine. WHELP, I'm assuming it is...
Don't worry! I'm not going to shove a K-Pop album on y'all- save the best for later :P SO! I'm suggesting *drumroll*
My head is an animal by Of Monsters And Men. They are an Icelandic indie folk/ rock band, and I really love this album. My favorite song is probably... all of them? Heh, I suppose I have to choose... mm, probably a tie between Slow and Steady, or King and Lionheart. Or Dirty Paws. Or Mountain Sound. Or... You get the idea. Well, hope y'all enjoy it!
