[324] I'm too high, I'm too high, I hope I never ever come down
My absolutely foul mood followed me into today, absolutely everything has been pissing me off since I woke up, but I got in an early run and started popping painkillers to head off my period, and I think I'm doing better now. Grabbed tickets to see the magician tonight, which will hopefully help, too. Back to work in the morning. At least it's not quite as cold as it was for a while there (our water was briefly shut off today, and I have to assume another main froze and burst somewhere in the neighbourhood), but the sudden foot of snow is requiring a lot of adjustments after such a spare, bare February.
Wikipedia Sez: Innervisions is the sixteenth studio album by American singer, songwriter, and musician Stevie Wonder, released on August 3, 1973, by Tamla, a subsidiary of Motown Records. A landmark recording of Wonder's "classic period", the album has been regarded as completing his transition from the "Little Stevie Wonder" known for romantic ballads into a more musically mature, conscious, and grown-up artist. On the album, Wonder continued to experiment with the revolutionary T.O.N.T.O. (The Original New Timbral Orchestra) synthesizer system developed by Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, and Innervisions became hugely influential on the future sound of commercial soul and black music.
Genre: R&B
Styles: Album Rock, Funk, Motown, Soul, Smooth Soul
Release Date: August 3rd, 1973
Prior Familiarity: Okayish!
What I Did While Listening: Hit the treadmill and just walked for like 90 minutes in a twofold effort to both sober up a bit after Revolution and make myself feel less garbagy after everything I put in my body over the previous five hours. It was worth it, but oog, there was a lot of rubbing my extremely bloated belly like I was pregnant.
Verdict: Pretty good! Just excellent vibes for the most part (Jesus Children of American just sounded like gibberish to me, and Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing felt somehow... racist???), and all the weird, creative synth stuff that's happening here really seems to get forgotten whenever Stevie gets trotted out these days. A Good Time.
Favourite Song: Living for the City, a song that I THOUGHT I knew pretty well, but now I think I might have only known corny sanitized covers of it, because I was completely thrown by the twist that it takes halfway through.
