Windy & Carl - "Antarctica: The Bliss Out, Vol. 2" (1997)

Newly reissued. The cover of my original copy got destroyed by a water leak years ago, back when my records were boxed up in storage. It's nice to have a cover again.

Nick Drake - "The Making of Five Leaves Left" (2025)

My pre-order for this got canceled because there's a fucking moron in the White House, but I managed to snag another copy for twice the price. Would that that was the only negative impact of Drumpf.

I went snorkeling and saw these fish. They're called Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, and if I understand it correctly, the name breaks down like this:
Humuhumu = small triggerfish
nukunuku = little snout
a = like
pua = pig

Steely Dan - "Countdown to Ecstasy" (1973)

I still don't really like Steely Dan, but I did just purchase my second SD record at a thrift store today. And I did look up the lyrics to the Bard College diss track.

I found an old London/Decca pressing of Chris Connor's self-titled 1956 lp, and I can't get over the fact that they messed with her hair. It's some sort of.. illustration over her hair? Atlantic and London covers included for reference. #ChrisConnor

If you see a hammered dulcimer record, just get it.

Kan Mikami - "July's Man of the Month" (1994)

Probably my favorite
Mikami Kan record. I wish that they would reissue these PSF recordings on vinyl.

I just successfully trimmed this beast's talons with a nail grinder. I am the greatest dog parent in the history of mankind.
