🎧 This is one of countless bands that, on paper, I should adore, but for some reason, I don't fully connect with. But then i hear tracks like this and have to think about it. My late friend Roy told me more than once that some music is best taken in small bites.

So great. One of the things I like about this era is the musical arrangements. I love the trombone section at about 1:30.

Indictment of Dan Lemon is a remarkably tendentious document, dressing up all manner of journalistic activity and planning as conspiracy to “intimidate” and “threaten.”
