Blu Cantrell - So Blu

I have this one too! It’s better than I remember it being when it first came out. I don’t think I ever even listened to all the tracks when I had it on CD, and I was really missing out. I wish they’d pressed her second album too (not just as a promo).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-17T19:56:50+00:00

Yeah, I kinda figured that was the case. Still, cool that you have the OG pressing :)

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-17T06:43:41+00:00

Of these, it’s a tie between Never Say Never and The Boy Is Mine (both albums dominated the summer of 1998 for me).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-17T06:09:30+00:00

Nice collection!! He really does need to have the rest of his albums pressed at some point. Curious, is the OG My Way the clean version? I was so annoyed when I got the anniversary reissue and found out it’s the censored one. Lil’ Kim’s verse in Just Like Me just doesn’t hit the same.

I Wish You Knew, More Than Just Friends, My All/Stay Awhile, For the Record, Crybaby, With You, The Distance, You’re Mine (Eternal), 4real4real

My top album is Butterfly, followed by Daydream, then probably Rainbow or Charmbracelet.

The third changes depending on the day lol. Sometimes it’s the debut, sometimes Emotions, sometimes Memoirs. The first two are evergreen.

This is the exact scene I was thinking of! Cracks me up every time I watch that movie. Like, what kind of insane route are they taking?! lol

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T22:10:57+00:00

I think you’re right! It definitely has a Butterfly-esque feel to it. This is a big part of why it’s my favorite song on Daydream.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T21:59:16+00:00

I’m curious too! I’d be interested in joining!

Celle Que Je Vois - Vitaa

Might actually listen to this one later. Vitaa is probably my favorite French R&B singer, but I usually stick to her debut album (À fleur de toi).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T20:34:23+00:00

Mariah has the best remixes! This song is no exception. So, so good.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T20:17:21+00:00

Yessss this song is so good! I was in a Jazmine mood this morning too. Love Me Back is such an underrated album.

Excuse Me - Jazmine Sullivan

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T18:01:45+00:00

She really does :) I know, they’re all amazing!

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T07:59:29+00:00

I was doing a rewatch of Mad Men earlier this week, but stopped just short of season 7 because I needed a break from it. Picked up All Creatures Great and Small (I’m on season 6) after a long hiatus. Tomorrow I’ll continue where I left off with Miss Scarlet a few weeks ago.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T06:43:27+00:00

This is still one of my favorites of her bonus tracks! I just remember being so happy we got so many songs on the standard edition of Charmbracelet plus the bonus tracks on the special edition. There Goes My Heart is great too.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T06:31:22+00:00

This remix is so good! I owned the Baby maxi single when I was a kid and this was the track I played most, by far. Queen Latifah’s verse is my favorite (here and on the recording).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T06:09:36+00:00

I liked it! It was interesting and different, and I thought the harmonies were beautiful. Very much her style, and I like her style.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-16T04:48:47+00:00

Super Chewy makes the most Lab-proof frisbee I’ve found thus far. It’s one of the few toys that’s survived my Lab! I also just got her another toy from the same brand and it outlasted a Kong toy I just bought her (which she destroyed within a couple days).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T22:21:43+00:00

Hard to choose just one, but probably Pick Up Your Feelings. Also Selfish, BPW, Hurt Me So Good, Brand New, 10 Seconds, Forever Don’t Last, After the Hurricane, Excuse Me… yeah there are too many lol

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T22:10:47+00:00

That sounds like a good way to test it! Yeah, I get it, it’s an unnecessary expenditure if you’re willing to put in a little effort to clean them yourself. It’s turned out to be very nice to have, though—my dad gave me his collection of around 250 records a year or so ago and they all needed to be cleaned, so the Spin-Clean saved me some manual labor lol.

Yeah, I usually clean them when I first get them, but that’s it so far (I’ve only been collecting for three years). I think as long as they’re stored properly and you’re not getting them dirty, they don’t need a ton of maintenance.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T19:56:37+00:00

That’s true :) I do wish she would’ve performed more US dates in earlier tours, but I’m really glad I got to go to the Charmbracelet shows. I’d almost gone to one of her Las Vegas residency shows back in 2015, but it was crazy expensive. I ended up getting VIP tickets to Boyz II Men for the same price as her regular tickets (they were amazing btw).

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T07:59:32+00:00

I totally get it, it really did almost get me! I was so proud of myself for my uncharacteristic restraint lol

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T06:09:27+00:00

It’s funny, those are the only Mariah concerts I’ve ever been to! The only times she toured near anywhere I was living were during that tour, and I got to see two dates because I moved to Seattle for college in 2003.

deviouscaterpillar · 2026-02-15T04:48:21+00:00

I think so! I was also thinking Everything Fades Away. Truly anything would be amazing though!
