Seems as good a place as any to ask; I recently-ish at a festival had the very pleasant surprise to discover a couple of country singers I ended up really liking.
William Elliott Whitmore, I was just walking by the stage, was intrigued, and ended up staying for the whole set, he had an amazong stage presence, the…

It was the first one I saw performed, and yes, I don't recall ever enjoying reading one of the comedies as much, but I'm not a native English speaker so I'm never quite sure how to judge the distance brought in by the language (although strangely (or not) I'm sometimes tempted to argue that it's relatively easier for…

Yep, that's the one; haven't seen Richard III, I'll look into it, maybe there are still cheap-ish tickets, but I usually find West End prices very depressing and hard to justify (I had seen Twelfth Night at the Globe).

There is only one Crash, Haggis' doesn't exist, it's just a cruel illusion.

And I thought this was going to be the month I didn't buy a bottle…

I second the Macbeth recommendation, or generally dramas above the comedies (never read or seen any of the history plays); however I've recently seen a amazing and genuinely hilarious production of Twelfth Night so would recommend that one too.

I purposefully didn't listen to the stream beforehand, he's such a great showman that he can pull pretty much anything live; but I'm worried that when I sit down and listen to it, it will just make me think of Nocturama without qualifiers. While his recent noisy period was very rightly praised he can do mellow very…

The main thing for me this weekend was seeing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds presenting their new album, there is a stream out there, but for those who haven't listened, it made me think of what Notcurama would have been if it had been good, it's rather mellow with a few rocking ones; one listen live is not the best…

It Happened One Night is Great, I've never seen Sullivan's Travels (it's on my list), but when it comes to screwball comedies, I always have a soft spot for Lubitsch, Bluebeard's Eighth Wife in particular.
I've never read The Big Sleep so cannot compare, but I thought the movie was great, it helped to just go along for…

I haven't gone through the comments so maybe there have already been extensive discussions on the topic, but my first thought, once past the shock of horror, was that the new showrunners were teying to mess with the fans and would scare them into thinkng they had done what would be considered the worst possible thing.

Those would have been the "usual reasons" I thought.

When they have a body of work I suspect I'll want to get into, I usually avoid starting with an artist's recognised masterpiece or highlight or most popular work; I think it more or less started after I saw Fanny and Alexander, I couldn't help but find the next few Bergman movies I saw a little disappointing in…

I had forgotten the Kim part on Teenage Riot (I had thought about listening to both just to be safe before posting, that will teach me…). I completely agree re Sister.
The Experimental Jet Set mention was more to cheekily point that in that case the Kim song would have the upper hand.

I just figured it was the new show runners trying to mess with fans' expectations and fears.

They had a eugenics programme well into the seventies, so there's that too…

Re Sonic Youth, I love Murray Street and compketely second, but for your extra criteria, Sister and Daydream Nation qualify; in this (very specific) instance, I'd still have Murray Street above them though.
Or maybe you would even agree that if Experimental Jet Set… was not to qualify, the Kim sung song wouldn't have…

I'm still having trouble getting into Sung Tongs (the first two tracks are amazing though and definitely should qualify), and while Feels is my "Official favourite AnCo album", I listen to Strawberry Jam the most.
I should give MPP another try, I pretty much haven't touched it since six months after I've bought it…

I wouldn't trust iTunes plays that much, it tells me I've listened to Sonic Youth's Sister over a thousand times; it is one of my favourite albums, and most likely the one I've listened to most on Apple controlled devices, but no way I've listened to it 900+ more times than any other record, or anywhere close to 900…

A few people already mention Did You See the Words and Grass from Animal Collective - Feels

For the last two songs, I'll have The New and Leif Eriksson off Turn on the Bright Lights.
