Editing to add the Neil Young “Ohio” that has the accounting of what happened included in the video.
Second video is from the 50th commemoration.

Shared the album version on Froot Loops before. Just in love with this song and this version. And this lady.
I find it hard. Hard to be soft.

Beach Fossils - Clash the Truth, 2013.
I was really into this album for a while when I first heard it (2015? Wild guess), then sorta forgot about it/the band. Last listened to this record on Halloween 2018. I know the precise day on this one, ha. No particular reason…I just do.
Upon revisiting, it holds up. Consistent throughout, and while not terribly diverse it refrains from overstaying its welcome. Reminds me of late 80s indie shit. I had actually never looked up a video of them live, I quite like this one.
Also, if you are not familiar: that pink strip is called an obi and is not part of the actual album art. It’s just a paper strip/loop that goes around the jacket. They can be kind of annoying, actually. As far as I know (not much), they’re more frequently seen on Japanese records (this is not a Japanese record).

This one is in my workout playlist (along with like 3 other Black Album songs and 2 dozen Metallica songs altogether, lol)
But I never skip this one. When the guitars drop out right after the guitar solo, and it’s just Jason and Lars for like 20 seconds – it’s so damn good. Great bassline outright. Jason doesn’t get enough credit.

There he is!
Glad to see you pop up, man.

Although I hold the Black Album as #5 in their 5 best albums, I do feel it is the best Metallica album for working out.
Like…when I’m out for a run at 5am, it’s dark and cold, it’s just me and whatever creatures of the night I run into that I hopefully see before they see me…
and then Of Wolf and Man comes on the workout shuffle. You look up to see the pre-dawn silhouette of the mountains, rhythmic puffs of your breath obscure the view for a few nanoseconds here and there.
That gives you some hype juice.

One of those ones I put off buying for years because copies were plentiful and easy to come by.
'Til they weren’t.
Then after many years, it was finally repressed last month. Feels good to add this one, now I have the three WS albums I want in my collection. This one was huge for me and my good-natured but delinquent buddies in high school. It came out right around the time we all started smoking weed and lifting cigarettes/liquor from our parents.
Conclusion? Jack White made me into a bad egg!
The White Stripes - Elephant, 2003.

Fleetwood Mac - Mirage, 1982.
You know, there was several years where Tusk was without a doubt my favorite Mac album, and it was regularly in the discussion for my all-time favorite album - period. I had heard Mirage previously, and it was far too "Dad-Rock"ish for me at the time (that whole assumption/misconception/foolishness is also why I didn’t even bother with FM at all until my mid 20s, at which point I realized I was an idiot and that the songwriting is exceptional).
Then I went back to Mirage years later (I wanna say mid-2018) and it clicked. Every single song has such great pop sensibility, and in diverse ways. Amazing writing, amazing melodies, and that killer FM harmonizing.
Like any FM work from this lineup, Stevie and Christine produce some classics…but as is the case with Tusk, in my opinion, the Buckingham tracks are the tops.
A rare occasion where I simply cannot pick one tune.
FYI (might go without saying) but in the performance of “Eyes Of The World”, I’d wager that Mick Fleetwood is on enough cocaine to keep an entire cartel afloat for a few weeks. Granted, they all were - Mick just looks it!
