I only really, really love Side 2 but I respect that some people love the whole record and some people don’t like any of it. Hooray for liking different things 🙌

Just focusing on some little joys of parenting (to help me through the teenage and empty nest years?)
Last night I fell asleep to the sounds of my 14yo playing Nevermind while he was doing the dishes and the pings of incoming messages and photos from my 19yo who is visiting Seoul.
This is good 🥰

I think the issue is that a lot of people really want recorded music to just be in their background and some (most?) music can never be that. Listening with intention is a gift you can give yourself, if only you’re willing to be still and focused (like you hopefully are at a live performance) 🧡

My little family’s third annual autumn apple tasting was a fun and relaxing way to ring in our first dark Monday evening of the season. The Ruby Mac was the big winner, with Envy pulling up second with honorable mention as the best with cheese. Opal, Pink Lady, and Crimson Crisp tied for third 🍂

![Clube da Esquina (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈklubi dɐjsˈkinɐ], in English "Corner Club") is a collaborative album by Brazilian musicians Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges, released as a double album in March 1972 by EMI-Odeon Records.
Lô Borges was one of the founders of Clube da Esquina, a group of musicians that originated in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. He co-authored with Milton Nascimento the album Clube da Esquina in 1972, which was a milestone in Brazilian popular music. Among his most famous compositions are "Paisagem da Janela", "Para Lennon e McCartney", "Clube da Esquina No. 2", "Trem de Doido", and "O Trem Azul".
He is considered one of the most influential composers of Brazilian music, having been recorded by Tom Jobim, Elis Regina, Milton Nascimento, Flávio Venturini, Beto Guedes, Nenhum de Nós, Ira!, 14 Bis, Skank, Nando Reis, Elba Ramalho, among others.

had to revisit Clube da Esquina in honor of Lô Borges. perhaps the most *all timer* of all timers on my record shelves, an album I could listen to any time, any day, and feel my spirits lifting. RIP 🕯️

Found a vinyl copy of this (grail) at Cafe Oto last week. A joy to see it and give it a little hug, lol. Alas, my cd will have to do :)
