Music

Had a convo with some friends this weekend and it got me thinking...

What are your all-time no-skips albums?

The ones you throw on and just let ride because every track hits.

Here are 5 that came to mind for me, from all corners of the music landscape... 

Mac Demarco - "2"

I remember listening to that album from Brand New and was floored. 

Def a 10/10 pick

(Yussef Dayes is also incredible. His jawn with Tom Misch is 👌)

father, meditator and programmer. working on @anky. jpfraneto.substack.com

Luca is my jam 

“WHERE YA BEEEEENNNNNN?!!”

Not even a hot take. That is a very true statement. New gen jazz is something special man. 

You also got Kamasi Washington, Samora Pinderhughes, Yussuf Kamaal, etc

Lots of incredible lore about Devil & God — worth a dive down the rabbit hole. 

Hot Take: Yussef is probably one of the most talented musicians alive today
