*A Better Place To Live*

We’re back on the albums again! Part Four, 270-261. This week features Fiona Apple, The Meters, Alvvays, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) BUT ACK WE WERE CUT OFF AGAIN Still working on the time management haha. Today’s poem wasn’t recorded in its entirety unfortunately, but it belongs to Fiona Apple (one of the featured artists) and is the full title of the album we discussed. It reads as follows: When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right - 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! I’ll see you tomorrow, C
