Today's featured shit

Scott Saber was the center of the men’s basketball team at Cal State Hayward when I was a junior. I have no idea whether he is related to Danny.
I thought this was a compilation, but now I’m not so sure. The songs have different singers and a relatively common late-1980s danceable theme to them, but it’s hard to tell. iTunes thinks they are all by Saber, so I don’t know. The track listing lists a name before each track, so there you go. “Tou Jour” would then be by Helenrella. Regardless, it is the best of the bunch and has more of an early-1990s feel, like One Dove, only the lyrics are in French and not as good. But the synths have that same ethereal glow that will remind the listener of them.
“Possibilities” by Kirsten Price has a Portishead feel to it. It is also very good. Everything on this album is really good. It’s a trip back in time to when you had to drive to a fruit stand instead of waiting for the farmers market to come to you. And then after the long drive home you spent all afternoon de-stemming cherries so then all you had to do was eat them and spit out the pits.
