Catching up on some stuff I liked this year but haven't got a chance to relisten. This is cosmic classic drone by Adam Wiltzie from Stars of the Lid.

Enjoyable to see Chabon finally nail his Great American novel after the "shipwrecked" Fountain City. The whole thing is chock full of bravura paragraphs. Also this is perhaps our most riff filled episode to date lol.

getting to the end of a dream of red mansions finally after starting it sometime in january I think. incredible book but the last 30 chapters which were written by a different person have this weird uncanny "last season of a show with a different writer" vibes its hard to describe

Sunday afternoon spin. The furthest "out" Buckley gets on the trilogy with Happy Sad and Blue Afternoon. the ease with which the band plays in a free and unresolved way always knocks me flat
