Rocktober

November 03, 2026

Back at the beginning of October, I decided that I would try to listen to a new album every day. It could be something where I know the radio hits, but not something where I knew it as a complete work. I didn't even nearly cover one a day, although if you count the ones I put on and then fell asleep to, the list is considerably longer. At any rate, here are my thoughts on 9 albums that I hadn't heard at this time last month.

On the Corner

Miles Davis

Released 1972

Listened October 4, 2026

Yeah, you don’t like Jazz. But this is almost pure funk.

Music From the Big Pink

The Band

Released 1968

Listened October 4, 2026

There’s a reason that the only song you know on this album is The Weight, which is great. The rest is not so much.

Revolution Girl Style Now

Bikini Kill

Released 2015

Listened October 6, 2026

Fun, rocking, bad ass tunes.

To Whom This May Concern

Jill Scott

Released 2026

Listened October 9, 2026

I really liked about half of the tracks. The one with feat. Trombone Shorty goes into the rotation.

Beach Bongo Bloodbath

Bob Bert

Released 2026

Listened October 15, 2026

The only thing about this album that entertained me was its title.

Me Joe I Am - EP

Joe DeVito

Released 2025

Listened October 16, 2026

It’s Folksy Friday. I liked this one a lot.

Heirloom

Nathan Evans Fox

Released 2026

Listened October 16, 2026

What if you let Zach Bryan know about instruments that plug in?

Songs of a Lost World

The Cure

Released 2024

Listened October 16, 2026

I put off listening to this one thinking that it probably wasn’t good, but it’s fine. I don’t think I disliked a single track.

Enter the Wu-Tang

Wu-Tang Clan

Released 1993

Listened October 29, 2026

I know. It’s 30 years old, and people have talked about how great it is that whole time. Even old white people. I finally listened to the whole thing, and they have been right.
