[0028] a feeling that I belonged
Oh my god, it's Monday already, where did my week go??? Must wring every last possible drop of satisfaction out of these last two days before December hits me like a truck.
I feel like I had so much to say, but it's just all gone SHOOP.
Really wanted to get budget stuff done tonight, but maybe I will just sleep some more instead? Hmmm.
Wikipedia Sez: Tracy Chapman is the self-titled debut album by singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released on April 5, 1988, by Elektra Records. The album was recorded at the Powertrax studio in Hollywood, California. In 1987, Chapman was discovered by fellow Tufts University student Brian Koppelman. He offered to show her work to his father, who owned a successful publishing company; however, she did not consider the offer to be serious. After multiple performances, however, Koppelman found a demo tape of her singing her single "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", which he promoted to radio stations, and she was eventually signed to Elektra Records. In early attempts to produce the first album, many producers turned down Chapman as they did not favor her musical direction. David Kershenbaum, however, decided to produce it as he wanted to record an acoustic music album. It was recorded in Hollywood, California in eight weeks. Most of the writing is based on political and social causes.
Prior Familiarity: I know Fast Car? I know Fast Car. That's... that's it. I know Fast Car.
What I Did While Listening: Made perogies, hell yeah. Bub was very needy.
Verdict: Oh shit this is fantastic! Some of it feels a little samey, and the takes on social issues presented feel awful facile in places, but maybe that's because it was just a simpler time back then (the late '80s lol), and it's all so EARNEST, that VOICE, goddamn. So good.
