Album recommendation for the day: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's 2003 "Master and Everyone." In the mood for acoustic, mix of sad and joyful, great harmony? I haven't listened to this album in 10+ years, and it's feeling right today. [It's not available on Spotify.] www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This looks so much like old Twitter, and it makes me really happy.
