Terror Jr BOP CITY 2: TERRORISING (2017)

Of the new genre of 'bops' these stand-out with sly lyrics that mean as much as you want, Snapchat koans of heartache and spite. Death Wish and Appreciation are confections and Sweatpants is a trap-referencing flex, as if every con is a long con, underestimation is real-life judo and having dull ears will kill.

Harold Budd/Robin Guthrie/Eraldo Bernocchi WINTER'S GARDEN (2011)

Life changes when you realize you're a servant not a savior.

Herb Alpert /Hugh Masekela HERB ALPERT/HUGH MASEKELA (1978)

Holy smokes this album is liquid joy. Rest in peace, Mr. Masekela.
