Album #16: Nirvana - Dreamerz, Jul 8th 1989

    Earlier in the month, The AP put out this article about the Aadam Jacobs collection, the over 10,000 tape collection he has created, with the most notable being the first Nirvana concert in Chicago. A concert so early in their year that their album Bleach was barely a month old.
    Almost every song off this concert is from Bleach, playing 9 of the 11 songs off the original tracklist. Besides those, tracks 7-10 are from other places. Polly was on their second album Nevermind. This heavy full band version is my personal highlight of this concert. Dive and Big Cheese are B-sides, and Spank Thru was from a grunge compilation from 1988, and was the first ever released song of the band.
    I decided to not include a  regular download link, but instead one to the archive, where you can explore the entire collection. There is so much more worth checking out! I still wanted to post this because of the art I made for it, which is all photos from this concert.

Album #15: Bruno Mars - The Roman Tour Opening Night: Vegas, April 10th (AND 11TH) 2026

     The cover is NOT my work. It is simply a picture posted to his Instagram I added the subtext to. I am getting this one out VERY QUICK, I am also very busy today but I had to make time for this! 

    Also, I didn't edit or trim the files in any way. In fact, I refuse to even LISTEN to them for more than snippets to hear the quality. I am seeing him on this tour in August, and so I don't want everything spoiled, though if we are being real that will probably happen over social media before then. 

    Bruno Mars released his first album in 10 years (5 including Silksonic, which I would haha), and this weekend started the tour, which celebrates not only EVERY song on the new album (8 played night one, but only the second night included Why You Wanna Fight), but his whole career. It honestly has felt like he has been running the music world this year, and I am here for it!

    The new album itself, The Romantic, is similar to Silksonic, in the way it celebrates and plays with tons of black (and now latin) genres and, in doing this, brings them to modern audiences. Silksonic took it's influences mostly from funk, soul, and hip-hop, while The Romantic seems to have a lot of influence from the music of Motown, latin music, and funk.

    This is a collection of recordings done by Kitzeekat on Youtube, who took TONS of videos. They are all from April 10th, and 11th. I am writing this on the 12th.
