So, I figure I should post a photo of our store, La Cava del Barrio, the only shop in Santiago (Chile) devoted to small scale, national winemaking projects.
Yeah, we’re all the way at the end of the world but *do* drop by if you come our way.
Cheers!

I already gave my tongue in cheek answer but I gotta say there are a lot of big bands in ‘01 that I don’t think deserve a place in the bracket!

For the @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social gang: We don't yet know if Jan Jelinek's LOOP FINDING JAZZ RECORDS has made the '01 bracket, but in the meantime fans might want to listen to this new album, dropped a few days ago.
Good music to listen to while working!

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

I listened to 227 albums & I still marvel at all the things I *didn’t* get to. But I had a blast along the way. Can’t wait to see the results

Same here. I saw it on the Master List and had never even heard of it before.
I haven't seen anyone posting about that album so far but who knows? Maybe people have and I didn't see it. But we will soon find out if there are enough fans to get it into the bracket! I nominated it.

I know it's last minute, but finally listened to Thursday, Poster, the only 1 of your top 9 picks that I hadn't gotten to yet.
"Dude, just calm down, please" I kept muttering as I went thru the disc. "Must you scream about everything?"
So, I tried, I really did.
I nom'ed Opeth / Tool / Fugazi.

I just mean that you've mentioned it a few times already and that got it in front of people and I think that's been key in spreading the word about this very cool project. I've seen it on several lists, so I'm hopeful!

Very cool, John. Maybe he'll end up as an exchange student in Korea, just as my love of Japanese pop culture took me to Tokyo!
Are there opportunities nearby for him to take live lessons? Back in my day, there was nowhere in W. PA where a high school kid could pick up some Japanese in advance.
