I commanded myself about a month ago: no buying any records until at least when Spring Training starts. It's been going great, the rediscovery. The hearing things in unexpected new ways. Like you just did with that Chet Atkins, I've often said about something I already had, "Oh shit, this rips!"

Part of my recent break from buying new-to-me vinyl is because I realized I need to separate the thrill of discovering something cool/new from simple enjoyment/getting into again all the great shit I already have. (Sometimes if I go to grab a record, I listen instead to what's to the left of it.)

You should know your Lewes FC updates led me into a deep dive on the (long!) history of the Dripping Pan ground.

I guess I was right about it flipping to Gen Alpha.

A galactic criminal is tapped by a shadowy Rebel Alliance recruiter for a crew attacking an Imperial outpost. The rebellion itself isn’t a thing yet. But momentum builds as Andor is radicalized. Like all of us, you will also become fascinated w/ Dedra Meero of the Empire’s Imperial Security Bureau.

Alternate idea: just combine. After Weezer, Olivia could’ve brought out the Korn dudes for a cover of “Got the Life.”

No way never! The van’s powers would override my stupidity.

An all-time ripper [that whenever I hear also instantly projects me backwards in time to 1998 and playing the CD over and over and over again in my shitbox Ann Arbor garden apartment, believing I could hear a glorious future]
