I Love You Jennifer B (LP)
Jockstrap
- One of the funnest albums I’ve listened to in a while. Taylor Skye’s Chaotic but heavenly electronic production mixed in with Georgia Ellery’s sweet vocals makes for one very interesting pop record.

Hasta La Raíz (LP)
Natalia Lafourcade
- An Incredibly beautiful set of songs from Mexican singer songwriter Natalia Lafourcade. A great friend of mine recommended her music to me and I’ve been slowly falling in love with her music. This album has become one of my favorites of hers as of late. It just makes my day a whole lot brighter every listen :)

Great playing, surprisingly intriguing writing. Guiliana plainly has a lot of musical ideas he wants to flesh out.

Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan (Book)
Alex Pappademas/Joan LeMay
There are books that can tell you what Steely Dan did; this is the first book to tell you what Steely Dan means. It talks about the Giant Girlfriend and "The Second Arrangement" and the crucial role Walter Becker played as Donald Fagen's songwriting partner. Joan LeMay's paintings shed a light on what a squonk's tears could look like, and Alex Pappademas leaves no stone unturned as he explores their working methods and unique worldview. It's all conjecture and supposition, given that Becker and Fagen were loathe to explain themselves, but most of the analysis seems spot on to me. If you've ever caught yourself humming a Steely Dan tune and wondered what the hell you were singing about, wonder no more.
