This month is pretty rough. Weather's still bitter cold, the rest of the news isn't great either. Listening to music and working on an upcoming project are some of the import things keeping me going. You'll see a post on the project soon, but for now, more music worth listening to:

Lucinda Williams: World's Gone Wrong

While not the most cheerful title, this album comes from the famous Lucinda Williams who suffered a stroke in 2020 and was still able to make this album. I'm glad she recovered and I'm glad she could make this album.

The songs are largely about the state of things in my home country right now and I mostly agree with what she says. Like I said it's not very cheerful, but sometimes it's nice to know that you're not the only one that thinks there are problems.

Fiona Apple: Fetch The Bolt Cutters

I grew up being aware of and sometimes listening to Fiona Apple. Natually I was interested when I heard in 2020 she made a new album. I almost forgot to buy this one since there was so much other good music to grab this year, but I'm glad I didn't forget.

This album also is largely about the state of my home country (which in 2020 was also pretty rocky). Like with Lucinda, sometimes it can be helpful to hear music from people who agree things are not right. Fiona's album is quite a different style than Lucinda's, but they do share similar sentiments.
