little of the work i do writing about pre-rock music would be possible without the DAHR, the source i consider the most authoritative (if still woefully incomplete for global music, though steadily improving). adding Joe Bussard's record collection to their streamable content is awesome

After seeing Björk’s Cornucopia at the theater, it sort of feels like she should have a residency at The Sphere in Vegas.
