There's no way it's optimal, but check this out: I finally got Surrender Flare under 50 cycles. We're giving up at heretofore unseen rates

#076 Alice in Chains Dirt (1992) Fav Track: Dam That River Guy who pissed upon your candle but wants to be perceived as very genuine: What the fuck?

Imagine how disappointed I was to learn this is a card game and not a mildly problematic way to refer to drunkenness-induced impulsiveness

I figured it out eventually... but at what cost? (365 gold, apparently)

I spent an inordinate amount of time on this one only to realize

There we go 😁

The word of the day is "chirality"

#075 Neil Young with Crazy Horse Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) Fav Track: Round & Round (It Won't Be Long) This takes the brown mouse... it's just goddamn (<- my praise)

#074 Tom Waits The Heart of Saturday Night (1974) Fav Track: (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night I guess I was expecting Tom Waits to be a little more... Tom Waits-y, here, but it's still nice when he plays the blues straight :)

#073 Massive Attack Protection (1994) Fav Track: Spying Glass Interactive Buddy off the shits...

#072 Guided by Voices Do the Collapse (1999) Fav Track: Picture Me Big Time What's the name of this aesthetic? Adaptation, Arrested Development, fuckin, uhhhhh, I wanna say Chuck... the Long Nineties were the era of the sans serif font. Or maybe I'm onto nothing. I'm usually onto nothing.

#071 Motorama Before the Road (2017) Fav Track: Voyage Really digging the Destroyer vibes here! Nice bright, jangly guitars and a singer kinda going "duh nuh nuh, nuh nuh, nuh, nuh" (complimentary). God, give me Dan Bejar's voice and John Entwistle's stage presence, you know? That gay ass dog

#070 Redbone Redbone (1970) Fav Track: Night Come Down 1970 album for #070... maybe I should have been doing it that way all along. But then up until #047 or something, every album would be like, "The Choo-Choo Cherry Singers - The Choo-Choo Cherry Singers Vol. 8 (1932); Fav Track: The Hokey Pokey"

#069 Vince Staples Big Fish Theory (2017) Fav Track: BagBak A couple years back I was listening to BagBak like 15 times a day, and the rest of the album is also incredibly good, but like, godddddddd... BagBak is so fuckin good, man. Top 10 tracks of the 2010's

#068 Bob Marley and the Wailers African Herbsman (1973) Fav Track: Stand Alone Really great stuff! As a kid, I always thought reggae was boring, but like... not everything has to be 250 BPM, you know? Just relax and enjoy the music as it is. #MyWisdom

#067 Aaron Freeman Freeman (2014) Fav Track: All the Way to China Not bad! Same producer as White Pepper. The vibe I get knowing nothing more then this and "there was an acrimonious split" is that Gene wanted to be The Thoughtful Beatle and Dean was the guy going "blah I crazy now"

#066 De La Soul Three Feet High and Rising (1989) Fav Track: Eye Know "De La Soul" is "from the soul". What's not clicking...

#065 Joni Mitchell Hejira (1976) Fav Track(s): Coyote / Black Crow / Hejira / Blue Motel Room / Furry Sings the Blues Insane that people still try making music when it's been solved. It's like cryptography, it's a dead science. Decades ahead of its time, unreal

#064 The Grateful Dead American Beauty (1970) Fav Track: Ripple I'm given to understand that the parts of GD people make fun of came later in their career and we're still in bluesy/folksy territory, but like... shit, maybe I SHOULD check out Phish if I like these guys so much

#063 The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed (1969) Fav Track: You Can't Always Get What You Want Fsr I always thought this was the secret good album, but it's mid as fuck. NEXT!!!!!!

#062 Beach House Depression Cherry (2015) Fav Track: Wildflower Me when I listen to the album called "Depression Cherry" by the depression band when I'm depressed because I have depression and I listen to the song about depression and it makes me depressed: WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

#061 The Beths Expert In A Dying Field (2022) Fav Track: Knees Deep Really good! Really nice west coast pop vibes on this one. Tfw you made it through the longest day (summer solstice)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#060 Open Mike Eagle Dark Comedy (2014) Fav Track: Informations Doug Stamper goes fucking crazy, too. The only thing that made me put Informations over it is that Doug Stamper doesn't have the line "MY MIND IS AN IPOD!"

Listen to @boontavista.com, wherever fine podcasts may be found!

#059 Zack Fox shut the fuck up talking to me (2021) Fav Track: get off of my dick 🗣 PLEASE, LET GO OF MY PENIS, I BEEN MAKING PLAYS SINCE A MOTHERFUCKIN FETUS

#058 Joni Mitchell Ladies of the Canyon (1970) Fav Track(s): Conversation / Ladies of the Canyon / The Arrangement / The Priest / Blue Boy / Big Yellow Taxi / Woodstock 2026's album of the year goes to 1970's "Ladies of the Canyon". Can't believe I'm alive in a time where I can listen to this

#057 Ben Harper Welcome to the Cruel World (1994) Fav Track: Walk Away Incredibly beautiful and powerful album. There's a little anecdote below that's too long for a skeet, but check this one out if you're ever in a bluesy mood.

#056 Osees Off Course (2025) Fav Track: The Trick Hypnotic! I'd be a liar if I said the album art wasn't the reason I checked it out. Mom Holy Fuck

#055 Black Moth Super Rainbow Dandelion Gum (2004) Fav Track: When the Sun Grows on Your Tongue Really good synths in this album! Drippy Eye is another banger. Wheeeeerp, wheeeerp, wheeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr

#054 Neil Young and Crazy Horse Zuma (1975) Fav Track: Lookin' for a Love Shaking my head so people know that I don't agree with calling girls stupid
