Ross (3284 KP) rated Live at the Apollo by James Brown / James Brown And His Famous Flames in Music
Jul 6, 2020
Rolling Stone's 25th greatest album of all time
Very strange and unsettling live album where James Brown seems to just try to seduce half of the audience, who scream almost the entire time. His performances are very visual so I think you miss a lot by only listening (there are times when the screaming intensifies and you have no idea why). A decent listen but the songs are not his best and the live aspect is similarly not perfect.

Ross (3284 KP) rated London Calling by The Clash in Music
Jul 8, 2020
Rolling Stone's 8th greatest album of all time
Superb album. It is a bit of a shame that it is labelled as punk as that would put a lot of people off and make them miss out on such a wonderful masterpiece. This isn't "spit and middle finger" punk, it's political, thought-provoking and intelligent punk. For every London Calling, there is a Jimmy Jazz, for every Spanish Bombs there is a Train in Vain. Simply an awesome album.

Hmm...
I liked certain parts of this and others kinda bored me.
Rudy was hard work and sometimes I thought he was really sweet and others he annoyed me a little, though I know that's a lot unfair. It isn't his fault after all. I really feel for Ellis in this too.
Jon was amazing for both of them and likewise Ellis was Jon's salvation.
That being said I'm not sure if I want to continue this series.

I think it ended a bit abruptly and i wasn't convinced by the romance but it won me over a lot with Annika's dedication to her sick younger brother and the stories and the wishes and all the stuff she does to make him happy. I shed a few tears near the end when i thought it was going to be bad news--and with how it ended, it could still be bad news--but i did like it.
