Bruce Springsteen Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ September 20, 1978
Springsteen's 78 tour is the stuff of legend. This performance is only bested by his performance the night before on 9/19 which to me is a perfect concert. You can find that performance on Springsteen's website just like this one. Don't miss out on some of the most amazing live performances by anyone ever. 'Prove It All Night' gets special mention for being absolutely incendiary at both Passaic performances.

Donald Fagen The Nightfly
Donald Fagen Kamakiriad
I actually prefer this to Nightfly as a whole. I'd say Nightfly has higher highs, but Kamakiriad is more consistently good. Some of the songs do go on a bit too long, but once the melodies have wormed their way into your ear you don't mind. Definitely an album that improves upon repeated spins.

3.5 great
Blur The Magic Whip
Chromeo Head Over Heels
Good album overall, although not as good as White Women (which I think is their absolute best). A few of the tracks with guest vocals are kind of meh as I feel the lyrics and delivery are just not as good as Dave 1's (excluding 'Just Friends', which Amber Mark does a great job on). The middle of the album from about track 4 to 10 is killer though.

A bit uneven, but the covers of Obsession and When the Lights Go Out are both great. A few of the new songs are pretty good, but they are different than the usual E6 fare you see on proper albums (more acoustic guitar especially). The remix of Night Vision is excellent though and a real standout.
Electric Six How Dare You
Electric Six Bride Of The Devil
M83 DSVII
I get some serious Vangelis vibes at times and it sort of makes me wish he'd done the soundtrack for Blade Runner 2049. While not as enthralling as his standard releases (read: those with lyrics), there are some excellent soundscapes to get lost in. Hell Riders and Temple of Sorrow are standouts. The middle of the album feels a little samey at times, but it's great music to put on while you're working on something else or just want to get lost in thought.
