Day 5 is "Baby" (2025) by Dijon

Fav Tracks: Yamaha, Rewind, Automatic, Kindalove

Really fun album! I do not think I loved it as much as I have seen others love it, but I will sit with it a bit more. The only previous thing I have heard from Dijon is "Talk Down", which I love.

Day 4 is “Fever to Tell” (2003) by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Fav Tracks: Maps, Date With The Night, Cold Light, Y Control

I think “Maps” made me not expect a lot of the anger and energy on this. I really liked it! I will definitely listen to more of their music.

All the excerpts I have read seem horrid. I was reading the author's Wikipedia article (much better prose) and was shook at the Mark Sanford connection.
