Post-heart attack.
E-bike rider.
Not a people person but does not have the skill set to be a mountain hermit.
Easily bribed with good whiskey, hard bop jazz records, or just coffee if that is all you can offer.
Album of the Day
Playing an RSD release while reconsidering which Black Friday releases I am going to aim for.
Number one is still Big Head Todd & The Monsters for nostalgia, but instead of the John Lee Hooker, I might go for the Jazz Dispensary release instead. I have...

I have been up since 12:30 AM, but have just not been productive.
Well, I did give a stranger some technical advice, so at least I possibly accumulated some good karma. Yay, me.

I have no idea when I will be sleeping anymore, so I had better post sooner instead of later.
I am not fond of change, so I have not given GA-20 a good listen since their personnel change. I suppose it would be fair to give them a listen sometime.

Album of yesterday, today, and probably tomorrow, since I think I am going to fall asleep again without playing the final side.
I am envious of everyone who attended this recording, especially since I doubt I will be able to see Mr. Waits perform myself.

I had a record cued up to play and post about, but my body is still going through long-term insomnia crashes, I suppose. All I seem to want to do is sleep.
Good timing since I have nothing really important going on right now until Monday.

I really do not want to go to the supermarket right now...

No record posted yesterday. My lack of sleep caught up to me, so I conked out once I got home yesterday, and now it is four in the morning.

It is late, but I have been listening to what few songs Jess Woodland has recorded over and over. She needs to release an album somehow soon.
Anyway, this Johnny Cash is one of the few vinyl records gifted to me. I wish vinyl records had...

Album of the Day
Ugh. I just voted on one of those best albums of the year polls, and it occurred to me a little painfully that not only have I not listened to most of them, but I was also unaware of them.
Rachael Yamagata's latest was one of the selections. I am...

I did not post an album yesterday, but I did pre-order one on Bandcamp. I think I might be suffering from buyer's remorse since I really could not afford to have done that.

I do not write book reviews anymore, but I will say Stephen King could end up being overshadowed by his son.

Hey, the sun was out today. How unusual.
I played the first side this morning, and now I am going to play the other while I put my e-bike back together...or try to at least.
I do not think I have listened to their latest album yet. I should do...

I am surprised I do not have more Allman Brothers records. They were my thing for a bit in the mid-90s, but I am musically fickle.
An upside of CDs over LPs is that you can listen to "Mountain Jam" on a CD without the interruption.
I need sleep...

Actually, I am NOT playing records lately but basking in silence. Maybe I will be in a better mood when the parts I ordered for my bike arrive.

This arrived this morning so I am giving it a quick listen while I try to decide if I want to go through with going into Cambridge, MA.
It is not my favorite Cowboy Junkies album but none of their records particularly sucks.
Sounds crisp.

Spending the day with an upset stomach from lack of sleep does not stop me from buying the wacky stuff.
It has been around three decades since I had a Meal Ready to Excrement and I am curious.
