It’s #CDFriday! It’s #CDMadness!

Just a ridiculous haul the past few weeks. Couldn’t scratch that itch hard enough. Didn’t mean to buy mostly Cherry Red stuff but they’re doing what Rhino used to do, only far better.

Fun cover for the latest Music Educators Journal, September 2025, but no credit is given and it doesn’t seem to apply to any of the content.

Hadn’t done a #CDFriday in forever. This is the past month’s or so quarry.

Age verification: Bought my first CD in a high-end stereo store (Audio Krafters in College Park, Maryland) when such stores were the only ones selling the format.
Age verification: I bought myself a pair of Doc Martens before most people knew who Nirvana were (at one of two stores in town that carried them)
Age verification: I was in high school the first time the internet screamed at me through the phone line.

There was a major protest in DC today against the Trump administration.

Where's @nbcwashington.com and @wtopnews.bsky.social ? These are two of the biggest local news outlets in DC and neither has any reportage about it at all.

Raised: Hammer mansion

Current: "The City"

First is kinda easy. The second is definitely more cryptic but the quotes give a clue.

Sam Phillips as Katya in "Die Hard With A Vengeance". She also did a cameo in Wim Wender's "The End of Violence" but I can't find any screenshots.

Lots of individuals get their cars vandalized every day. None of them ever get reported by a major local news outlet, unless you're a rich MF like this guy:

Magazines to check out if you’re into underground music and/or music technology.

Next Gramophone features Arvo Pärt.

This performance is fantastic. It’s clear that all of the musicians were exactly where they wanted to be. Pure joy.

Peter Gabriel's fourth album, aka "Security". Bought new for $20 at the long-defunct high-end stereo store Audio Krafters in College Park, Maryland (nowadays, it's a Blaze Pizza, very unfortunately).

An immaculate used copy of the 2004 reissue of Snap!, complete on CD for the first time. CDs 1 & 2 replicate the original 2-LP set while CD 3 contains the four live songs on the 7” EP included with initial LP copies.

My "conversation" with Sonny Sharrock at Blues Alley in Washington, DC, early 1990s:

[After his set, Sonny goes to the table next to mine to talk with some people he knows. But first he turns to me.]

Sonny: Is anyone sitting here?

Me: No

Sonny: Thanks

People have theories about McDonald's "depressing" new restaurant designs
