Blogovision 2019, best albums of the decade, no.11: John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts

But I am the greatest motherfucker that you're ever gonna meet

From the top of my head, down to the tips of the toes on my feet

So go ahead and love me while it's still a crime

And don't forget, you could be laughing sixty-five percent more of the time

You could be laughing sixty-five percent more of the time

Lyrics from GMF by John Grant, from his album Pale Green Ghosts

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.16: Chet Faker - Built On Glass

He could not believe he'd be seeing his favourite artist on-stage live tonight. Chet Faker at last was making an appearance in Jake's home-city and of course, he would not miss it for the world. Built On Glass was on his iPod on heavy rotation for months now, the erratic beats, the jazzy influence, the distinct vocals and atmospheric environment all but swallowing him in their otherworldly dimension. Most of his friends did not like it but Jake did not care. It would be him and Chet tonight. Live.
