Santana Abraxas? YES PLEASE! The best digital release by far is the 2020 Japanese Sony Quadraphonic SACD release. Recreates the energy, scale, sheer power and vibrancy of the original vinyl! I have stereo DSD rips and its my go to when I set my stereo to 11 to be overtaken by a wall of sound.

@bennjordan.bsky.social aka The Flashbulb has released a new album - Papillon! Wow this work really tickles my brain like champagne. Sliding around different grooves with a consistent micro rhythm all over. He feels like neurodivergent kindred. Really warm, smooth and deep sound quality too.

Dear Substack. I do not want to read long form articles on my phone, it is harder to fully digest them in that format, and harder on my eyes. More and more you are forcing me to use your "app" to read articles. I suspect you just want to mine my identity for more information to sell to Big Data.

REST IN POWER Roberta Flack. She has been the one of the most influential musicians in my life. From her First Take she was a Quiet Fire that fanned revolution and resistance. The melancholy romance and trials of love in her music got me through some very hard times. Music in replies.

Fumbling around the interwebs today I found a new artist, Avie Sheck. Music like candy! He does this collab with his mom who is a classically trained Indian singer of Nivana's Creep. I'll be listening to more of him.

For some reason my ASMR has become watching shorts of handsome men getting classic haircuts. I think it must be due to the current lack of follicles on my head! I'd love to go to Lisbon and get a haircut here though.

This week was Washington DC for my first visit. It was fraught with a lot of emotion for me. My mood was not UP for most of it. Though it was a rewarding experience. My visits to the National Museum of African American History and Culture and National American Indian Museum were highlights.
