I feel a bit small mentioning very new singers in comparison to these greats, but I've recently enjoyed Javed Bashir and Akbar Ali's Naina Moray. Javed Bashir especially kills it in this song

I was this close to advertising as a patch jockey in the middle of my unemployment 🥲😕
Sending you and everybody else strength and courage to hang on.

The Yellow Diary - Izafa. Only 3 songs, but well produced! open.spotify.com/album/5gWsGO...

Frou Frou - Details. This one positively blew my mind when I listened to it for the first time. Made me an Imogen Heap fan for life

Bruno Mars - 24k Magic. Such meticulously crafted pop, it grew on me with multiple listenings

Carpenters - Gold Greatest hits

George Micheal - Ladies and Gentlemen

Compilation albums, but beautifully curated

Madras String Quartet - Resonance. I frequently am brought to tears by this + it kickstarted my cello playing

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Ella and Louis

Ali Farka Toure - The Source

Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop OST

A R Rahman - Kandukonden Kandukonden + Alaipayuthey (Double CD collection )

As the bros say - it's a scarcity mindset. You just have to bake a bigger pie so that everybody gets a bigger piece! 🥧

Halifax has been the gateway to Canada for so many immigrants for years! 💕 They even have a museum of immigration at the end of the pier where you can check to see if a family member came via ships, way back when!

Thank you for writing this out. I also made a similar decision 6 years ago to leave the US. It hurts a lot to leave people, relationships and (and ephys rigs!) behind.

I stole/took exactly one screw from my air table whenever I left. Either it goes on the next rig or it's with me forever
