Post-heart attack.
E-bike rider.
Not a people person but does not have the skill set to be a mountain hermit.
Easily bribed with good whiskey, hard bop jazz records, or just coffee if that is all you can offer.
Album of the Day
I do not have much bluegrass (-ish?) in my collection. I am pretty sure this, along with a Vassar Clements record, is about it.
Blueground Undergrass opened for Gov't Mule on their 12/31/1999 Atlanta concert (which was released as "Mulennium"), which I...

I gave my stereo and television the day off and kept my apartment as silent as possible for most of the day. I did not even utter a syllable.
I am going to have to see just how long I can keep a vow of silence sometime. I think my last attempt lasted five days.

Over the Rhine is one of those acts that I thought I would end up chasing everything they record onto vinyl, but their latest release leans into religion too much for my interest.
I have also had a frustrating time trying to get "The Trumpet Child" on...

Finishing off my RSD Black Friday pickups, but I am kind of cheating here. This is not the one I was given last week, but a copy I already had.
The unopened addition to my collection is probably going to be given away once the weather gets warm again...

I listened to this yesterday but got too distracted to post it.
I doubt I will be posting anything else today, though. I have to hurry and catch the T into Boston for a medical appointment this afternoon, and then I am going to loiter...

At IKEA. No recently resurrected zombies but a few walking around with their phones in front of their faces.

Another RSD Black Friday purchase. Nice to see this get the vinyl treatment, and I hope "Beautiful World" will get the same soon.
I skipped right to side two to hear "Bittersweet", and I look forward to listening to it in its entirety when I return...

I had to break out the circular file to enlarge the spindle hole while I brewed some coffee, so I have already done more work than I planned to do today.
I had considered buying the last couple of Jazz Dispensary releases, so I decided to go for it.

I completely drained the battery on my e-bike today but I have taken longer rides before. The cold might have had something to do about that but it did not reach 30 degrees Fahrenheit today as far as I know.
I suppose I should look into a neoprene wrap of some sort.

Stereo Jack's in Somerville is one of the top places in the Boston area to look for jazz albums.
I think I would have to give it an edge over Music Research Library for the top spot.

Good news and bad news
The good news is that I found all of the RSD releases I am interested in.
The bad news is that I bought them all, including two used CDs, when I really cannot afford to.

Weird day. It was tough getting through downtown Brockton today with "The Walking Dead: Dead City" back filming and something going on at the central post office involving a fleet of fire trucks. Riding my e-bike across the city probably made better...

Back to the Linda Ronstadt well after being a bit productive today. I excavated a chunk from Mt. Laundry, but I think I need professionals when it comes to tidying up my apartment.
When I said professionals, I mean demolition experts.

Just a little nighttime listening with the first release from Tipitina's Record Club.
I will not be adding any details or commentary tonight since I am getting into a bottle of whiskey.
Do not drink and post on the internet, kids.

I am going to skip posting a record after my homicidal kind of day.
I am going to give those a-holes one more day and if they continue to give me me grief I will block their phone number.

Since I had to go into Boston today I figured I would play a local band from back in the days of regional hits.
The destination of the trip involved far less pain than I expected but the trek north was hair pulling.

Playing an RSD release while reconsidering which Black Friday releases I am going to aim for.
Number one is still Big Head Todd & The Monsters for nostalgia, but instead of the John Lee Hooker, I might go for the Jazz Dispensary release instead. I have...

I have been up since 12:30 AM, but have just not been productive.
Well, I did give a stranger some technical advice, so at least I possibly accumulated some good karma. Yay, me.

I have no idea when I will be sleeping anymore, so I had better post sooner instead of later.
I am not fond of change, so I have not given GA-20 a good listen since their personnel change. I suppose it would be fair to give them a listen sometime.
