One of my favorite writers on one of my favorite albums.
For this week's Sunday Review, I went long on one of my favorite albums of all time: Giant Steps by the Boo Radleys.

First up this morning is one I’ve looking for. Pretty good early US pressing. It’s the last Wailers album with Marley, Tosh and Bunny. Glad to have it in #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

I’ve heard that the Koran says the whole universe has no corners at all
Certainly that is better than anything in the Old or New Testament or the Book of Mormon
I’ve heard that Hinduism predicted the age of the earth as 4.32 billion years
which was about 95% right & has been for about 6 millennia

You should *definitely* give them a follow, they're a vital US org dedicated to de-radicalization of far-right extremists-- fighting the good fight and giving those people a pathway out.

Not many young people know this but it is generally pretty unusual for the president to outright call for the mass executions of elected members of the opposition party

🎶 I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomingdale’s
And, babe, I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Iovine 🎶

There may be better records than the Replacements' Let It Be, but this was the perfect album for the time of my life when it came out (the week of my 22nd birthday), so it holds an indelible place in my heart. I just got the deluxe 4-LP reissue.
