Canshaker Pi albums in a fight to the death...







So a new format, if you like ... well, I like it ... so maybe I will call this blog  RE-EVALUATE THE SONG going forward.... 

Basically, having a readership so close to zero to need a telescope to distinguish it, i want to get something out of my time ... so I am motivated to rate albums... especially in examples where I have bought a lot of albums from one artist in a short timeframe (capturing up after discovering them) . I am rating an artists work against that same artists other work ... I'm not going to try to decide if I prefer Dinosaur Jr to Frank Black, but I am going to decide which of their albums I prefer ... I probably won't include albums less than a year old, because I think that might sway the results ....

I started with Canshaker Pi, because I love them, there's only 4 albums, and I wanted to test the format. So , results, and then the scores for individual songs. Feel free to argue in the comments ....

  ALBUM OF THE YEAR - SHORT-LIST .... ALBUM #13 - The 'wildcard' of  2020 I knew what I was getting into here. There were so many great albums coming out in the first six months of 2020, that the idea of 'an album a month' for the whole of 2020 seemed feasible. It worked out a bit harder to choose one every month (see August) than I thought, but it was also harder to pick only one some months. Especially March. March was mad...  The winner, if you recall, was Lewsberg. No regrets. However, for Slow Readers Club, Morrissey, and Baxter Dury, they all released great albums in March, and were unlucky not to get picked. That leads us to Mr Malkmus. His third album (all very different) in 3 years is the winner of my bonus slot on the albums of the year list.  Just to repeat, its his third album in three year, all very different musically, but his voice and lyrics bring them together. That alone is worthy of recognition, but its a lovely album in its own right. The title re...

 ALBUM OF THE YEAR - SHORT-LIST .... ALBUM #5 - May 2020 This might be a short entry ...  I don't have a whole lot to write about this band ... I've never seen them live , although I have heard them faintly... they played the 'bar' stage at the annual Wedding Present Brighton August festival (ATEOTS) in 2018 ... its a nice bar but not really ideal for live music and I decided to stay at the front of the main stage after Salad so I could say hello to Young Romance. I have no regrets, but if this album had been released then, I think I would have pushed into the crowds and braved the squeeze to see Jetstream Pony. So I have some regrets, I guess... This photo is taken just a couple of hours after hearing them ... Me in my Pip Blom t-shirt, well before their first album was out (told you I was hip, didn't I?) I got this album, pre-ordered as a digital download from Bandcamp on a Bandcamp friday, and actually released to me to download a week before the announced releas...
