    Today listened to Carpenters - Close To You (some obvious classics and nice covers, but not my favorite from them) and Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman (in full for the first time, way more stacked than I expected). Also Ringo's Sentimental Journey (not my first listen), which is.... well, its something. I still can't believe this album was essentially the first solo album from The Beatles, just so incredibly Ringo of him to release it.

    Bob Dylan's Self Portrait is certainly a bizarre piece of music, though somehow I listened to the whole thing haha. I appreciate the existence of it after reading a lot of WHY he released it, a pretty funny concept that didn't really go as he had hoped. The cover of The Boxer is definitely a low point for me, what a mess

    This was a cool record, a little rockier than usual, a nice detour from his usual fare. The title track is the highlight for me

    two very cool 1970 songs that I hadn't heard before, but have hard the samples a million times. They speak for themselves

    Rare Earth had fuckin’ soul. Not for nothing Motown signed them. Their version of “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles is massive

    1970 mix is complete! Moving on to 1969 soon and will start bumping that thread annoyingly too :-)

    Think someone on Twitter referenced Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day as a perfect fall album. Checking it out now

    Journey in Satchidananda is excellent. I can't remember if I've ever listened to it before.

    EDIT:
    I guess this should go in 71? Whoops, search bar put me here.
