Welcome to Sound Check, a new monthly feature in which we visit with a member of the community to find out what albums they've been digging.
I've been dealing with new norms by relying primarily on the comfort food of old and easy ones: Radiohead's In Rainbows, Richard Hell and the Voidoids' Blank Generation, Mdou Moctar's Sousome Tamachek, Brian Eno's Another Green World, X's Los Angeles, Tool's Fear Inoculum, the National's High Violet. Elliott Smith and the Smiths are also somewhere in my mix.
