It's
the February 12th episode of this here thing, but we're not gonna
do Valentine's Day. Bleh.
Speaking of "bleh," why are people listing Morgan
Wallen as a musical influence after this past week? You don't
realize what that says about you? Or maybe you do...
Also,
Bella is a cuddle pirate.
Album
of the
Week:
The
Barlow
-- The
Horseshoe
Lounge
This
album is perfect. I know that's not an exciting thing for a music
writer to say but, really, I wouldn't change a note on here. The
Barlow have pitch-perfect lyrics: stories of ordinary people that
are so carefully told, and with so much empathy, that you will Feel
Things. But the band also kicks in with just the perfect mix of
distortion and steel guitars to make it feel like a party, or that
you're hanging out at the eponymous Horseshoe Lounge. Goodness
knows, we all need things to help us feel like we're having a night
out with our favorite local band, and The Horseshoe Lounge takes me
there.
