Weird old guy - record curator - wine drinker - cook - husband - dad - door knocker for local races - former stage 4 patient - getting kinda old. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

I have no idea what this is - I take the TV out of the box and watch. Good enough.

The Jack Montrose reference is 100% correct.

I have over half the records in the basement to prevent such a catastrophe (and to maintain marital harmony). Heading to the RhΓ΄ne next week. Maybe some French records will be found…

I’m sorry but all my favorite pop singers will all be on this list - Bob, Neil, Michael Hurley, Willie, Iggy, and there is a real double standard for women - you have to actually be able to sing to get anywhere…

He’s been on hiatus for nearly a year - a great resource that I fear will be lost.

One of those true stereo records labeled as fake stereo. Horns and piano left while drums and bass are right.

I have the original 78 release of The Jazz Scene with all the pics and it is a beautiful thing

Somehow I agreed to donate platelets at 7:15 tomorrow - I am a massive fucking idiot.

What happens when you desert the rural communities you used to serve? You get rich! They die.

Unfortunately this music, by Gil and Brian or Giacomo, seems to always be relevant to the current times.

Mine is about 30 years old - clearly underused.

When I lived in Exeter only Bull Moose was in Portsmouth - last visit also Modern Records. Personally I would go to Stereo Jacks in Somerville - one of the better places for jazz that I’ve been to.

I buy many $1 Jesus records that are mostly disappointing. These guys can sing in the least hip way possible.

My issue with bitcoin is the same that I have with illegal drugs - all the bad actors you support by participating. So I don’t participate. I have greater obligations than just myself. Clearly I’m a person raised Catholic - though now fallen away.

I saw Ra several times in different places - big outdoor show, fancy theatre, tiny rock club, giant rock club, etc. and it was grand every time. I should have bought more records…but I do have two autographed by him.

I certainly listen to Fela far more often than Buddy. Though I only have one Tony Allen as leader album (and several by Rich).

Really a bunch of supposedly alpha leaders just decided to neuter themselves. What a pathetic and weak pile of Quislings.

I only know five of the top 20 due to my retreat into jazz poisoning (what my old roommate called my records)

I really did not like Egypt 71. Maybe I should listen again -but I probably will not
