Com Lag (2plus2isfive) - Radiohead
There’s been a strange amount of serendipitous timing throughout this project, although that’s more likely me simply inventing connections between a given album and my circumstances than any cosmic coincidence. Regardless, I found Com Lag (2plus2isfive)
Coda - Led Zeppelin
Hmm, “Led Zeppelin.” I think I’ve heard of these guys - something about a groupie and shark meat?
Well, I’ll just come out and say that I “like” Led Zeppelin, but don’t love them. Whether it’s due to blind contrarianism, bad taste, or pure stupidity, I’m lukewarm on many of the monolithic “classic” rock bands

Carbotrolly - Ultrafink
Ok, so Carbotrolly is next in line, a nice little pop-punk album from St. Louis band, Ultrafink. You’ll just have to take my word for Ultrafink’s quality, since they came and went in the late 90s, and

By The Way/Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Really? These guys again? Did you know that they’re from California? Did you know that? Did you realize that California isn’t as glamorous as you might think,
