Sade- Best Of...(1994)- ****
St. Vincent- Todos Nacen Gritando (2024)- ****
David Bowie- Pinups (1973)- ****
(It's "Trash Records Sal Loves Day" over at Power Pop. might have to listen to them all this snowy weekend. Coming up. Van Halen, ELO, & Led Zeppelin.)
The Beatles- Help! (U.K. Stereo)- ****
Sabrina Carpenter- Man's Best Friend (2025)- ***1/2
(I finally gave this a fair and focused spin and there is more to like than I originally thought. It wasn't horrible. It's pop music, sure, but some of it was really good pop music. Might even listen a second time,)
The Cure- Disintegration: Dr. Wu's Reluctant Edit (1989/2025)- ***
(I, for one, would have cut "The Same Deep Water As You." I lost patience at four minutes, with six minutes more to go.)
The Cramps- A Date With Elvis (1986)-***1/2
The Rolling Stones- More Hot Rocks: Sides 1-3 (1972)- ****
The Wildhearts- Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts (2025)- ***1/2

Glad you didn’t have to defend Journey in response to Trash Records Sal Loves
Haha. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Had no idea about the passing of The Cure’s guitarist Perry Bamonte. While coincidentally listening to the 2022 remaster of Wish yesterday, I remembered how forward the guitars are on the album. Great stuff. RIP

Yay, Sade! We're about due for her to reappear out of the mists and deliver some new music.
See -- I told you about Man's Best Friend. It's a head above most of the current swath of pop records out there. :-)
