I could use a good music fest right now. I like going solo cause I've discovered it's a great way to hide. Lost in a crowd. And I could really use a few days of intentional disappearing.

My new car has a CD player and I am excited to dig out my CD case! Or should I finally get a CD visor case?
Once again I must beg you all to readopt old tech when and only when it is higher quality than its replacement. Records: yes, CDs: yes, audiocassettes: no, Blu-rays: yes, DVDs: no, VHS: you gotta be kidding, reel-to-reel audio: NOW you’re talking.
