We’re back on the albums again! Part Fifteen, 160-151.
WE’VE MADE IT TO THE HALFWAY POINT!!!!!!!!!!! 150 albums!!! Can you believe it? I’m so honored to be experiencing this
This week features Sly and the Family Stone, Waylon Jennings, Lana Del Rey and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;)
Production Note: Because of the sheer amount of material we had to discuss today, I made a last minute command decision to do this episode recorded instead of live, to buy back a minute or two of intro time that is often taken by the mechanics of me posting live links during the show. Thanks so much for your patience if this the way you tend to join and listen.
Of course I also purposely let go of Poetry Time, but I always choose one as a part of the structure of the show and I still want to share. To mark this momentous occasion, I chose one from my favorite poet, Mary Oliver.

Moments
There are moments that cry out to be fulfilled.
Like, telling someone you love them.
Or giving your money away, all of it.
Your heart is beating, isn’t it?
You’re not in chains, are you?
There is nothing more pathetic than caution
when headlong might save a life,
even, possibly, your own.

Other Lyrics Title options! These are all so good, but didn’t make the final choice.
This is the most we’ve ever had! And rightly so:
-Thank you for letting me be myself again
-I want to shake my Savior’s hand
-Never mind working hard it’s who I’m working for
-Don’t need to talk about love
-I see a glow that fills this room
-I’m a songwriter I’m a poet
-The brave and strong survive
-You caught me smilin’ again
-I’ve grown tired of traveling alone
-The right thing’s always the hardest to do
-It matters where you are
-I love you when you smile
-Why wait for the best when I could have you?
-If you hold me without hurting me you’ll be the first to ever did
-He was cool as heck :)
-Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past

Oh it’s a major endeavor, alright.
I’m going to try to listen to at least 10 albums a week for the rest of the year!
Yeah, I’m not joking.
Media, art, and entertainment publication Paste Magazine came out with a list of the 300 best albums and we’re going to go through them all! Well, I’m going to.
And then we’re going to talk about it! Great tracks, themes, history, info, related artists, cultural context, personal experiences- they’re all going to play a part in these reviews.
Totally stoked because I love music. (And a little intimidated! Because this is a lot to process)

If we keep up with an episode per week featuring 10 albums each, we’ll just about finish by the end of 2024.
We’re doing this! Yay!! Thrilled you’re along for the ride.
Happy 150 albums day! I’ll see you Monday,
C
