CD Odyssey Disc 1961: India Ramey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This next album is going to be a contender for my Top 10 albums of the year list. I won’t decide that until all the listens are in, but it’ll definitely be in the conversation.Disc 1961 is…Villain Era<img alt="" class="sizing
CD Odyssey Disc 1960: Bleached (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we explore the bittersweet experience of what is likely a band’s last album. Technically this band is still active, but it has been seven years since their last full LP so hope is getting slim. Nevertheless, let’s live in the moment, where that moment is 2019.Disc 1960 is…Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hj_z!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%
CD Odyssey Disc 1959: Einherjer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It seems like every time I roll a record by this next band fate has me taking a long drive. Last time it was “Norron” reviewed back in June when I went to Sidney to go shopping and this time once again out to Sidney, but this time to the airport.

CD Odyssey Disc 1958: Katy Kirby (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Blue Raspberry is one of my favourite “drink” flavours but I always feel that raspberry gets short-changed on the use of red, which is reserved for strawberry (light red) and cherry (dark red). This record has very little to do with drink flavours, but I just had to get that off my chest.Disc 1958 is…Blue Raspberry<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uHS3!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.
CD Odyssey Disc 1957: The Hives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you’re a kid you might say “let’s pretend” to get your playmates to buy in to some imagined world. As a teenager it morphs to “let’s say” and as adults we try to pull off the sophistry of “I think we can all agree” without anyone noticing.Here on the CD Odyssey we don’t do any of that. It’s just one person’s musical observations (mine) and you can agree as much or as little as you like.Disc 1957 is…The Hives Forever Forever the Hives<a cla
