Steve. And Eddie. Both of them. Although Eddie only does when he’s specifically eating *Steve’s* pussy, so…

And with that, this phase of the album project has come to a close. Ordinarily the next one would be in December, but I’ve got too much going on right now. Going to take a long break. I think I’ll listen to some new albums for myself for a bit, without worrying about what to say on here, lol.

Today’s Albums (5/5): Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus Verdict: First time, technically. Pretty good! Definitely a more unique vocal style than your typical female pop stars. Kinda wish it went a little bit harder, lol. Favorite cuts: WTF Do I Know, Midnight Sky, Hate Me

Today’s Albums (4/5): Outlandos D’Amour by the Police Verdict: Very fun. I love the instrumentation, especially the percussion. Has that undeniable beat you can’t help tapping along with. Favorite cuts: Roxanne, Hole in My Life, Can’t Stand Losing You

Today’s Albums (3/5): Ummagumma by Pink Floyd Verdict: Not great. Just a lot of noise, with seemingly no real purpose or payoff. Also way too long for what it is. Favorite cuts: Careful with That Axe Eugene, Grandchester Meadows, The Narrow Way pt. 3

Today’s Albums (2/5): Chaos Angel by Maya Hawke Verdict: First time. Pretty good. Very indie, which is fine by me. Definitely need to hear more. Favorite cuts: Black Ice, Wrong Again, Big Idea

Today’s Albums (1/5): Baduizm by Erykah Badu Verdict: First time. Very easy to listen and get into. Kinda faded into background noise at certain points though. Which, sometimes that’s what the mood calls for. Favorite cuts: Other Side of the Game, Certainly, 4 Leaf Clover

To each their own and all headcanons are valid and all that jazz, but It does surprise me sometimes that there are people who believe that Steve “don’t bully me, I’ll cum” Harrington is a Dom, lol. (he’s also a bottom but I feel like that one is slightly more negotiable to me)

Today’s Albums (5/5): Psychopomp by Japanese Breakfast Verdict: First time. Definitely one of the more unique things I’ve listened to over the course of this project. Very interesting, if not a bit too short overall. Favorite cuts: In Heaven, Psychopomp, Triple 7

Today’s Albums (4/5): Frogstomp by Silverchair Verdict: Decent 90s grunge knockoff. Some really good instrumentation, but you can definitely tell how young they were when they made it. Favorite cuts: Tomorrow, Shade, Leave Me Out

Today’s Albums (3/5): Southeastern by Jason Isbell Verdict: First time. Really good! Sorry it took me this long to get to him. Maybe not 100% my typical style, but I’m definitely eager to hear more. Favorite cuts: Traveling Alone, Live Oak, New South Wales

Today’s Albums (2/5): The All-American Rejects by the All-American Rejects Verdict: Pretty decent. It’s not very timeless though - I mean, this thing is 2000s alt rock to its core. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind. Favorite cuts: My Paper Heart, Time Stands Still, Too Far Gone

Today’s Albums (1/5): Beyond Beyond Beyond by the Crane Wives Verdict: First time. Very good! Definitely one I’m disappointed I haven’t gotten to until now. Need to hear more ASAP. Favorite cuts: Higher Ground, Arcturus Beaming, Red Clay

Today’s Albums (5/5): Collective Soul (‘95) by Collective Soul Verdict: First time. Nice 90s alt rock. And if y’all know me, you know how much I love 90s alt rock, lol. Some songs do drag a bit, unfortunately. Favorite cuts: Simple, December, She Gathers Rain

Today’s Albums (4/5): The Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen Verdict: Very good. More quiet and simplistic than other Springsteen I’ve heard. A bit dark, but also strangely comforting. Favorite cuts: title track, Dry Lightning, My Best Was Never Good Enough

Today’s Albums (3/5): Stick Season by Noah Kahan Verdict: First time. Pretty good. I like the folksiness of it. Probably could have trimmed it down by a few songs, though. Favorite cuts: All My Love, Growing Sideways, Still

Today’s Albums (2/5): The Game by Queen Verdict: Really great. The best tracks are the ones you already know, but there’s more than that. Favorite cuts: Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Sail Away Sweet Sister

Today’s Albums (1/5): Physical Thrills by Silversun Pickups Verdict: First time. Decent enough. Some really strong tracks on here, but a few weak spots. I like the two singers for the most part. Favorite cuts: Stillness, Alone on a Hill, Empty Nest

Today’s Albums (5/5): Against The Grain by Bad Religion Verdict: Liked this one. I always like when fast-paced songs feel like they’re actually saying something, rather than just driving relentlessly to the end of the song, you know? Favorite cuts: Turn On the Light, Anesthesia, title track

Today’s Albums (4/5): Lemonade by Beyoncé Verdict: Very good. The theme is especially strong, which I always love to see. Emotional honesty is painful, but when the artist makes you feel it? That’s the good stuff. Favorite cuts: Don’t Hurt Yourself, Sandcastles, Freedom

Today’s Albums (3/5): Breach by the Wallflowers Verdict: Really good. Definitely a bit of a sleeper fan of these guys. I’ve loved Sleepwalker for years, but I’m glad the rest of the album still holds up too. Favorite cuts: Letters from the Wasteland, Sleepwalker, Murder 101

Today’s Albums (2/5): Indigo Girls by Indigo Girls Verdict: First time. Pretty good. I like the simple, indie vibes. Some songs probably could have been trimmed down a bit. Favorite cuts: Secure Yourself, Prince of Darkness, Love’s Recovery

Today’s Albums (1/5): Kicking Against the Pricks by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Verdict: Very idiosyncratic, as you’d expect, but oddly accessible too. Good covers on here. Favorite cuts: I’m Gonna Kill That Woman, The Singer, All Tomorrow’s Parties

Today’s Albums (5/5): Pork Soda by Primus Verdict: Pretty silly, but in a fun way. Good instrumentation, especially on bass. I can definitely understand them being a more acquired taste. Favorite cuts: My Name is Mud, DMV, Pork Soda

Today’s Albums (4/5): Plans by Death Cab for Cutie Verdict: Pretty good. Slightly overlong, perhaps, but still engaging throughout. Song titles get too long, lol. Favorite cuts: Different Names for the Same Thing, I Will Follow You Into the Dark, What Sarah Said

Today’s Albums (3/5): Lita by Lita Ford Verdict: Really good! Obviously the guitar work is the main draw, since she’s an amazing guitarist, but overall it’s great. Favorite cuts: Can’t Catch Me, Kiss Me Deadly, Broken Dreams

Today’s Albums (2/5): Montero by Lil Nas X Verdict: Pretty good! Also moves quick, despite the number of tracks, which I always appreciate. Favorite cuts: Montero, Lost in the Citadel, Void

Today’s Albums (1/5): The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We by Mitski Verdict: First time. Not bad! A bit more country/pop-esque than I might have expected, but very interesting nonetheless. Favorite cuts: I Don’t Like My Mind, The Frost, Star

Today’s Albums (5/5): Luck of the Draw by Bonnie Raitt Verdict: First time. Very good. Brings me back to the early 90s, when all we listened to in my house was country, lol. Favorite cuts: Something to Talk About, I Can’t Make You Love Me, One Part Be My Lover

Today’s Albums (4/5): Bewitched by Laufey Verdict: First time. They really nailed the musical aesthetic of a 50s/60s chanteuse. But with a more modern sensibility and production values. Favorite cuts: Dreamer, While You Were Sleeping, Lovesick

Today’s Albums (3/5): The Bends by Radiohead Verdict: Hadn’t listened to this one in a very long time. Definitely one of my favorites by this band, though I think OKC will always have my heart. Favorite cuts: High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, My Iron Lung

Today’s Albums (2/5): Midnight Memories by One Direction Verdict: First time. Very typical boy band pop stuff. Nothing too remarkable (at least to my ancient ears), but not terrible. Perfectly serviceable. Favorite cuts: Best Song Ever, Diana, title track

Today’s Albums (1/5): No Angel by Dido Verdict: Pretty good, but I don’t know if Dido’s sickly sweet vocals make or break it for me. Sometimes they’re a little too much, lol. Favorite cuts: Hunter, Thank You, I’m No Angel

Today’s Albums (5/5): Cracked Rear View by Hootie and the Blowfish Verdict: Still a very strong, musically tight album even so many years on. Also very 90s, which is just fine by me, lol. Favorite cuts: Hannah Jane, Hold My Hand, I’m Goin’ Home

Today’s Albums (4/5): Return of Saturn by No Doubt Verdict: Pretty good! Sometimes I like going back to some simple early 2000s rock. It’s nostalgic for me. Probably could have cut out a few songs though. Favorite cuts: Simple Kind of Life, Bathwater, New

Today’s Albums (3/5): Ruin by the Amazing Devil Verdict: Actually liked this one quite a bit. Maybe a bit overlong, especially for 8 tracks, but it didn’t drag too much. Favorite cuts: Secret Worlds, Blossoms, Inkpot Gods

Today’s Albums (2/5): De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem Verdict: First time. Interesting enough. Definitely liked the rhythm section the most, but the repetitive riffs nearly put me to sleep, lol. Might not be my genre. Favorite cuts: Freezing Moon, Life Eternal, Buried By Time and Dust

Today’s Albums (1/5): Hangin’ Tough by New Kids on the Block Verdict: Classic boy band stuff. Every generation has one. Also very classic 80s nonsense, lol. The harder songs are better than the ballads IMO. Favorite cuts: You Got It, title track, What’Cha Gonna Do

Oh wow, hello new people! Guess y’all liked that little Steddie thread huh? lol. I’m glad 💖 Just FYI, even though I love Steddie and have a lot of Ideas™️ about them, I don’t post story threads very often. Right now I’m finishing up my album reviews If you stick around (or not), I appreciate you 💕

Short Steddie 🧵🪡 Transfeminine Stevie Harrington, who would like nothing more than to be picked up and carried like the princess she is, but knows that she’s not the most ‘dainty’ of girls. She has broad shoulders. Big muscles. And she’s tall.

Today’s Albums (5/5): Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival Verdict: Very good. Some highs, some lows, but I feel like the highs are high enough to carry the album through just about anything. Favorite cuts: Born on the Bayou, Graveyard Train, Proud Mary

Today’s Albums (4/5): Ride the Lightning by Metallica Verdict: I’ve heard this one before, but many years ago. Always good to get a refresher, lol. It’s good, of course. Plus it’s got my favorite Metallica song* on it. Favorite cuts: For Whom the Bell Tolls, *Fade to Black, Creeping Death

Today’s Albums (3/5): Duran Duran (‘93) by Duran Duran Verdict: Decent enough. A mix of 80s and early 90s aesthetic, but maybe a bit too 90s for me, at least where this band is concerned. Overlong. Favorite cuts: Ordinary World, Love Voodoo, Shelter

Today’s Albums (2/5): Teaser and the Firecat by Cat Stevens Verdict: Good stuff. I find his voice to be extremely soothing, especially on the softer songs. I love the simplicity. Favorite cuts: Morning Has Broken, Moonshadow, Peace Train

Today’s Albums (1/5): Mellow Gold by Beck Verdict: Very interesting, but also very strange. Makes me wonder if more of his albums are similar. Might not quite be for me, lol. Favorite cuts: Loser, Whiskeyclone Hotel City 1997, Blackhole

Today’s Albums (5/5): Play by Moby Verdict: Kinda meh overall. There are a couple tracks that are super strong and interesting, but just as much that are less so. Favorite cuts: South Side, Natural Blues, Run On

Today’s Albums (4/5): Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks Verdict: Pretty good! Definitely that classic 70s Stevie Nicks sound (though it came out in ‘81). Love the instrumentation. Favorite cuts: Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Edge of Seventeen, How Still My Love

Today’s Albums (3/5): Everyday by Dave Matthews Band Verdict: Not bad! Doesn’t feel like it’s tied down to a particular era too much, but it’s very nostalgic to the early 2000s for me though, lol. Favorite cuts: I Did It, The Space Between, Everyday

Today’s Albums (2/5): Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez Verdict: Very good. A nice slice of 60s/70s singer-songwriter rock. JB has a good and interesting vibrato to her voice. Favorite cuts: title track, Never Dreamed You’d Leave In Summer, Jesse

Today’s Albums (1/5): Tongues and Tails by Sophie B. Hawkins Verdict: First time. It’s fine. Nothing really grabbed me about it though, you know? A bit too long, too. Favorite cuts: Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover, Mysteries We Understand, I Want You
