Here’s a new installment for a new beginning to Scene, Not Heard as I’ve moved to the city of Sound As Language and Gamecock baseball. Well, at least now one of those. Stinkin’ Heels.
Anyways, I have always appreciated musicians and bands that can write an entire album without what we call “throwaway” or “filler” songs in the industry. I’ll pepper in an album here and there when I think of one, so today I’ll get things rolling with a classic that I heard the other night over beers:
Knapsack – “This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now”
Knapsack’s swan song would be undoubtedly their greatest achievement as a band, and perhaps Blair’s apex as a songwriter. Ten amazing songs that flow from one to another without so much as an afterthought. Each track is intricately and meticulously played, showing why it takes someone like Blair so damn long to release an album. The man is most likely suffering from obsessive-compulsive anal-retentiveness, but sometimes that just works out fine. I can put this album on at any time and never grow tired of it.
