From blown speakers
The windows are open, my beer is sweating, my neighbours are wondering when the fuck this is going to end. When I’m good and ready, babies. When I’m good and ready.
There are some albums that are meant to be listened to at top volume, the better to howl along your frustration and anger.
Let It Bleed is one such album.
It says so, right on the album sleeve: “This record should be played loud.” When Mick Jagger leers “Yeah, we all need someone we can lean awwwwnnn” I get a little thrill. And when the volume is as loud as it can go? The thrill is bigger.
You know, my neighbours should just be happy that I’m not blaring something more offensive. Like Britney Spears or Bon Iver or something.
Anybody else care to share some albums that sound better loud?
Best Stones album (Exile? Puh-leaze!) and best Rebus novel.
