If I won the lottery I would buy ALL the records. And also, you know, do good stuff for charities and humanity and whatnot.
You mean the 3 picks, right? Ah, memories
The Rams won the game, but oh did the Bears provide the memories. Look forward to Caleb Williams throwing out that ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field and Rate Field this summer in Chicago.

Yet another Elvis Costello album acquired. My seventh and most of any artist (6 Bowie records). Is Blood and Chocolate the most underrated “great” record of Costello’s career? I need some more listens…

The legendary David Bowie died 10 years ago today. 🤍

Picked up another Leonard Cohen record recently. A 1971 pressing of Songs From a Room.

I don’t really aspire to have a bunch of different pressings of the same record but made an exception here. Added this US original in addition to my 2015 reissue.

Spinning some recent additions. First up is The Specials. This is an early 80s US reissue.
