Someone with 1 billion dollars

to

Someone with a shit-load of other people‘s money

3. Jeff Tweedy, Twilight Override

Better on the 2nd listen. Even better on the 10th. So many great songs, among the 30, but like a mirror held up, the sum even better than its parts.

5. Jim Ghedi, Wasteland

An unrelenting British folk masterpiece, Wasteland somehow fits this American’s sullen mood towards our country perfectly.

6. Joan Shelley, Real Warmth

Shelley doesn’t have the voice of an angel, angels have the voice of Joan Shelley. Her best ever, though to be fair I say that about all her albums.

For those of you not living in the Pacific Northwest, a heads up. A harbinger of the apocalypse has hit us day after day the last couple weeks. Insane weather patterns we’ve been living with up here..

Likely coming to a sky near you. Something is afoot at the Circle K.

Put the last hundred years of music in a stew and call it Nested in Tangles, a tasty stew indeed.
