This documentary on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is beautiful, somber, and how the ship and its crew should be remembered.

Me and my friends in college buying punk records for $3-5 apiece when everyone dumped their vinyl collections as soon as they could rip them for their iPods. Now I'm back on CDs because I can buy like 15 of them for the price of one new LP.
the reason I bought LPs in the 1990s wasn't for that amazing analog sound, but because the amazing used prices: three or more LPs for the cost of one used CD.
Interesting convo with a friend who owns a hip NYC record shop about a sudden renewed interest in CDs, which were a negligible part of his business till recently.

This sparrow is wearing a very fancy jacket
The Orange Fruit Dove decorates the treetops with its flame-like plumage. This species lives in forests on the islands of Fiji, where it munches on fruits and berries. Only males display bold orange plumage; females are green.

Was honored to receive a Grammy nomination the other day for my album notes for Wilco's "A Ghost Is Born (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)." Always a privilege to rep the band, Nonesuch and the Warner family - and be part of the great archival work from producer Cheryl Pawelski!
