Dear Sufjan, The other day my friend Erin Hennessy saw you on the F train in NYC, but she couldn’t get up the nerve to say anything to you. That got me thinking of what I would say to you if I ran into you (even though I never would, as I live on the … Continue reading “A modest proposal for Sufjan Stevens regarding the completion of his 50 States Project”
Here we are again, with another round of our favourite albums of the year. Perhaps some are familiar to you, dear reader. Perhaps some are new discoveries. Either way, we hope you enjoy our trifling reflections and that you might be able to offer up some of your favourite offerings from 2021 in the comments! … Continue reading “Best Albums of 2021”
And here we are in the nick of time, before the closing hours of 2020, to present you with the highly-subjective lists of our favourite albums of the year.

We began Lost in the Cloud with productive intentions, but life, as … Continue reading “A Decade of Bests (2000-2009)”
Remember us? Neither do we. On with the show. Love, Greg & Elijah Elijah’s Top 10 Albums of 2016 10. Nattesferd Kvelertak — Listening to Nattesferd, Kvelertak’s third full length album, is something like travelling back in time. The album is a marked departure from aural onslaught of their previous record (2013’s Meir, produced by one … Continue reading “Best Albums of 2016”
Not a single Lost in the Cloud post in 2015. We could give excuses, but we don’t think anyone is suffering without our ramblings (Greg and I have an audience weekly in our respective congregations…). We won’t insult our readers with elaborate promises of innumerable posts to follow in 2016. All we can do is … Continue reading “Best Albums of 2015”
Oh, hi, remember us? Never fear, it’s that time of year again! The time to buy into consumerism, to plunge ourselves into debt for the sake of acquiring all the latest things in order to prove to our loved ones that they really are worth that object made by underpaid underagers on the other side … Continue reading “Best Albums of 2014”
As you might have noticed, we have had a wee bit of a redesign here at Lost in the Cloud.
