Stereolab
Dots and Loops
Impossible for me to choose (esp among Sterolab albums), but this for sure is one of my tippity toppitest fave albums of all time. I got this collector’s edition 4LP set a few years ago, and my kids ask me… why do you always play that record?

watched a good NatGeo docuseries about Genghis Khan. Knew some of this history, but great to have it detailed in this series. Apropos of current events, the Mongols invaded/destroyed Kievan Rus in the 13thC. — the “homeland” Putin is trying to reclaim in the 21stC.
