I'm finally up to Song 177 - Never Learn Not To Love by the Beach Boys, and this may be the best work @andrewhickey.500songs.com has done to date. I've always wanted to learn more about the Lomaxes and well... everything else in this one. Absolutely fascinating work!
Great summation of the extraordinary life of Eddie Sotto! He was lightning in a bottle!

I have to thank @andrewhickey.500songs.com yet again - I'd never heard of James Carr, but wow and I mean wow - almost up there with Otis. What a soul singer! Ordered a repress of 'You Got My Mind Messed Up' - can't wait! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC3A...

Happy #AudiophileDay! I may or may not have 7 surround sound blu-rays on order from @super-deluxe.bsky.social - can't wait to set up my music room in my new place next year!
Working through this behemoth tonight. A bit repetitive, but damn are some of the “off the soundboard” performances incredible. #SmashingPumpkins #LiveInEurope1992 #BillyCorgan #JamesIha #JimmyChamberlin #D’ArcyWretzsky #K1IsDefinitiveTristessaLive
The more I explore Björk’s post-2010 stuff, the more I realize it is just as inventive and ear-wormy as hers 90s output #Björk #Bastards #BiophiliaRemixes #CrystalineSeries
