Fugitive from academia. Currently plying the Pacific.
Now spinning Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Inner Mounting Flame. This shit is so heavy. Makes me think of King Crimson, Red, which came out 3 years later.

Now spinning Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane. A reissue from 2013 of this pivotal work. I can only imagine what it must've been like to hear this stuff live at The Five Spot Café in 1957.

In grad school (2003) we fed a family of 4 on $100 a week. (Maybe $200 a week today?) It's complicated, but completely possible. You eat a lot of pasta, split pea soup, etc. You plan out a week of meals.

Okay, I need to get myself into a positive frame of mind and watch Academy. I'm skeptical, but yeah, I dont want to just go into it to hate-watch. That's what the internet's for. DS9 movie would be great! Where is that?

Now spinning David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. A 2012 remaster of this classic. I think the pressing is pretty good. Never saw Bowie. That must have been one hell of a show.

Ah, that makes sense. I've never tried one of those devices for repairing a warped record. No idea if they work. But here's to U2!

You shouldn't have to put weight on the stylus if everything is adjusted right. Not great for your records. Which U2 is that?

Now spinning Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man, from '88. I first heard of him around that time when I headed off to college. Better late than never! "You loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win."
