[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 25th Anniversary to Guster’s third studio album Lost And Gone Forever, originally released September 28, 1999. Most media coverage of Guster alludes to, or uses as its central premise, how very far the band has come since banging bongos and playing acoustic guitars at Tufts in the nineties. Despite my frustrations with the trope, this piece isn’t that different.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 10th Anniversary to Hozier’s eponymous debut album Hozier, originally released September 19, 2014. I’ll never forget the first time I heard “Take Me to Church.” In the early months of 2014, I was a college student doing a semester in the UK. I’d joined up with the school radio station, Livewire1350, and got myself a show on Friday evenings playing folk music.

Recently, I was over at a friend’s place, and she (foolishly) let me pick the music. I was curious if I could sneak some Phish past the group, so I threw on “Tube”, and nobody seemed to object to its slinky groove. At least, not until the lyric “There’s a mummy in the cabinet!” caught a friend’s attention, and they said, “I’m sorry, what is this?” This is a recurring pattern.
