Post-heart attack.
E-bike rider.
Not a people person but does not have the skill set to be a mountain hermit.
Easily bribed with good whiskey, hard bop jazz records, or just coffee if that is all you can offer.
Album of the Day
Playing an RSD release while reconsidering which Black Friday releases I am going to aim for.
Number one is still Big Head Todd & The Monsters for nostalgia, but instead of the John Lee Hooker, I might go for the Jazz Dispensary release instead. I have...

I have been up since 12:30 AM, but have just not been productive.
Well, I did give a stranger some technical advice, so at least I possibly accumulated some good karma. Yay, me.

I keep going on about her despite not knowing anyone even tangentially associated with the music industry anymore.

I have no idea when I will be sleeping anymore, so I had better post sooner instead of later.
I am not fond of change, so I have not given GA-20 a good listen since their personnel change. I suppose it would be fair to give them a listen sometime.

Album of yesterday, today, and probably tomorrow, since I think I am going to fall asleep again without playing the final side.
I am envious of everyone who attended this recording, especially since I doubt I will be able to see Mr. Waits perform myself.

I had a record cued up to play and post about, but my body is still going through long-term insomnia crashes, I suppose. All I seem to want to do is sleep.
Good timing since I have nothing really important going on right now until Monday.

No record posted yesterday. My lack of sleep caught up to me, so I conked out once I got home yesterday, and now it is four in the morning.

It is late, but I have been listening to what few songs Jess Woodland has recorded over and over. She needs to release an album somehow soon.
Anyway, this Johnny Cash is one of the few vinyl records gifted to me. I wish vinyl records had...

Ugh. I just voted on one of those best albums of the year polls, and it occurred to me a little painfully that not only have I not listened to most of them, but I was also unaware of them.
Rachael Yamagata's latest was one of the selections. I am...

I did not post an album yesterday, but I did pre-order one on Bandcamp. I think I might be suffering from buyer's remorse since I really could not afford to have done that.

I do not write book reviews anymore, but I will say Stephen King could end up being overshadowed by his son.

56 degrees outside but 85 degrees in my second floor apartment despite the kitchen window open and the thermostat set to its lowest setting.
Did the downstairs tenants build a makeshift sauna?

Hey, the sun was out today. How unusual.
I played the first side this morning, and now I am going to play the other while I put my e-bike back together...or try to at least.
I do not think I have listened to their latest album yet. I should do...

I am surprised I do not have more Allman Brothers records. They were my thing for a bit in the mid-90s, but I am musically fickle.
An upside of CDs over LPs is that you can listen to "Mountain Jam" on a CD without the interruption.
I need sleep...
