🎶 ALBUM VAULT #237 🎶 Back to the concert journey… Average White Band – AWB — 5/10 My wife and I saw AWB while we were still dating, at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. It was an all-star three-act show, and AWB opened the night. I wasn’t a huge Average…

🎶 ALBUM VAULT #235 🎶 Back to the concert list… Pearl Jam – Vitalogy — 10/10💿 Black Vinyl I actually started this one on the Plex server during the LONG drive home. Then I got home and thought… nope. This album needs vinyl. So I started the whole damn thing…
🎶 ALBUM VAULT #234 🎶 Back to the concert list… R.E.M. – Monster I saw R.E.M. at the Rosemont Horizon with a girl I met thanks to Q101. I was going through a pretty bad breakup at the time, and she was basically a concert fling. I actually saw this…

🎶 ALBUM VAULT #231 🎶 Staying with Duncan… Duncan Sheik – White Limousine — 7/10 This one came out in 2006, and it is definitely a different Duncan Sheik album. A little darker. A little more layered. Lots of atmosphere, strings and those strange little musical turns that Duncan was…
🎶 ALBUM VAULT #230 🎶 Staying with Duncan. Duncan Sheik – Humming — 8/10💿 Plex Server FLAC This one came out in 1998, and it feels a little darker and more atmospheric than his debut. More strings, more mood, and a lot of that quiet Duncan Sheik thing that I…
🎶 ALBUM VAULT #229 🎶 Staying with Duncan today. Duncan Sheik – Covers 80s — 10/10💿 Plex Server FLAC What an amazing collection. This could have been a simple “here are some ’80s songs I like” covers album. It is NOT that. Duncan takes these songs and completely makes them…
🎶 ALBUM VAULT #228 🎶 Cloudy Chicago Friday… and honestly, this one hits a little differently today. Duncan Sheik – Daylight — 8/10💿 Plex Server FLAC I love Duncan Sheik. I could listen to this guy sing forever. There is just something about that voice. Calm, warm, a little melancholy……
