New week in progress ... Last week could've been deemed "Michelangelo week". I spent most of the time I allow for art revisiting the greatest work of art in history (and recently upgraded to a full 10/10) -- his Ceiling and Last Judgement for The Sistine Chapel (which I generally eval pretty in depth here and there throughout any given year). Very little was updated -- I was pretty much just immersed in this -- along with some amazing musical accompaniment. Though, at the beginning of the week I did take bit of a dive into the existential/spiritual allegory and elaborate, profound tantric symbology of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights -- which bore fruit (is under stronger consideration for an upgrade than it has been for a while).

Ill see if I can get back to Cinema this week...

Just re-listened to Songs Of Pain by Daniel Johnston today and I’m curious about your thoughts on it.

Thanks for the rec! I've never heard it. I will see if I can find the time sometime after delving into Metal (and polishing up some other new genre lists after that). 1990 is quite extraordinary though. Not sure if his first album (or any of his albums) can match its uncomfortable and mentally unstable emotional honesty.

Thoughts on these two: There's Nothing Wrong with Love by Built to Spill and The Argument by Fugazi?

There's nothing quite like either of them, to say the least.

Been a long time for both so I'd have to revisit first to say anything of value. I'm not a big fan of Built to Spill's more song-based, Indie/Pop oriented works though (as opposed to the extraordinary epic guitar crescendos and vocal/instrumental contemplations of Perfect From Now On). The Argument was the first Fugazi album I heard back in 2001 and I really dug it, but its been lost among their masterpieces since (Red Medicine, Repeater, Steady Diet of Nothing) and I dont think Ive listened to it since 2001/2002. Good stuff though.

Both of them could use a revisit if even just to check how they seem now, though I very much doubt they'd crack my 7.3+ All Time list.

Just posted my final "Top 50 Works of Art of the Year" for 2018. First post, first page.

Also, this log is now "continuous" from year to year, instead of separating them on different "diaries". So I went back and added 2017 to the bottom of it and soon will simply continue on with 2019. The year in the title will be updated from 2018 to 2019 when I start the new log, but will still contain 2017 and 2018 if one scrolls down from there.

Two quick comments
- Would have thought Big Star's Third would fare better for you, at the very least due to similarities with Forever Changes and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
- In case you overlooked it, I think the CCR record of note is Cosmo's Factory

They still might. Until today it had been a pretty long time since I revisited Big Star so maybe another listen will move those up more firmly in the 7s or upper-7s.

I agree on Cosmo's Factory. I revisited it for the first time in forever last week (which I might've forgot to log?), and will probably get back around to it again within the next few days and decide upon a rating (which will likely be above Green River).

New week underway...

My main focus at the moment is revisiting and discovering new entries for my "Folk/Singer Songwriter" and "Blues/Country" genre lists -- getting them closer to the present plus adding some new ones along the way.

I tried Shania Twain's Come On Over in the midst of all this (which I hadnt heard since its MTV heyday) and I could barely make it through a single song. Despite her charisma and charm and umm, other stuff, I was surprised just how godawful it sounds right after listening to albums that really brought the genre into its own and did so with so much soul and conviction (instead of turning it into really banal pop music). Sorry Shania, nothing personal.

Although I am very curious to know if maybe there is some sort of Country/Pop mini masterpiece out there? (at least 7/10)
