…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

Burton’s Disney Dumbo

I will try to write the spoilers a bit later, but there will be spoilers. I have never seen Disney’s Dumbo. The truth is I have never seen many of Disney’s animated films. I cannot say why. It just is a fact. I went into this film without any prior knowledge of the past. The […]

#151 Dusty Springfield – Dusty in Memphis

Dusty in Memphis is Dusty Springfield‘s album she had hoped would revitalise her career. Unfortunately, it did not. The recording of the album start in Memphis, but Springfield finished her vocals in New York. There were temper tantrums and doubts and ashtrays being thrown during the Memphis recording. Springfield had doubts and wanted the album […]

#150 Nick Drake – Five Leaves Left

I am more excited to listen to Nick Drake‘s Five Leaves Left than I have been to listen to any other album so far. I was introduced to his music a season ago and I loved it, but I never moved myself to search out the album. I had a couple songs that I knew, […]

#149 The Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones’s Let It Bleed has one song that I know very well. This album will be exciting to listen to since it will all be new to me. I read that it is in line with their more bluesy sound. I believe that has to do with Brian Jones being kicked out during […]

#148 Pentangle – Basket of Light

Pentangle‘s Basket of Light is one album and group I have never heard of at all. I must admit that I have not missed anything by not listening to this album. I am not going to spend time writing about it since I hated it. It is almost like Joan Baez. I hate the lead […]

#147 Bee Gees – Odessa

I was surprised to find the Bee Gees on this list. Not for the reason you may think. I think they are great. I really like the Bee Gees. This is not the disco playing Bee Gees of the mid-to-late 70s. This is the baroque pop band which has more than the three Gibb brothers. First […]

#146 Miles Davis – In a Silent Way

And you thought jazz was over. Miles Davis‘ In a Silent Way was released in 1969. This album caused a division among critics. The rock critics loved it because they thought Davis was moving in that direction, but the jazz critics were not happy with that direction. Jazz critics are saying it is not jazz […]

#145 The Who – Tommy

The Who is not a band I am looking forward to listening to again. Before I listen to the album Tommy I will say that Pete Townshend is the talented member of the band. He wrote almost the whole rock opera that tells the story about a “deaf, dumb and blind” boy. Like The Beatles, The […]

#144 The Beatles – Abbey Road

The Beatles are back again. This time with the last album that they recorded together as a band. They would break up the following year. The album cover for Abbey Road is famous because it spawned a theory that Paul McCartney had died and the guy in the photo is an imposter. The first song […]

#143 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival released three albums in one year. Green River is the second one. I cannot believe another album made it on the list of 1001 Albums… I told a couple people about this band being from California and writing songs about the south, but not being from there. We decided it was problematic […]
