because reasons... Voodoo by D'Angelo (2000) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060255736891 Example: I didn't really follow his work, but he really was creating some new music. So much jazz influence on example track. RIP D'Angelo (@51)

I have not listened in a few days, I think I overcompensated today. The End Continues by Spinal Tap (2025) https://album.link/wkfchxst380hj Example: A little croaky, but i think it is suppose to be. And fun. Winding down for a bit - Sweet for K by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto (2024) https://album.link/4gr3x3f9djhbs Example: Overall a lovely recording, each tune is presented really well. Taken as a whole it does become a little samey, a touch more variety track to track would have been nice. My first Tsuyoshi, and I like it. Still have Hardly Strictly on my mind Billy Strings - EP by Billy Strings (2016) https://open.qobuz.com/album/hys0x0fa5vicc Example: Just an EP so not too long... But fun. and just a Blue Note - of note. That’s Where It’s At by Stanley Turrentine (1962) https://album.link/nctnpggrt7ckg Example:

relax

This seems very HC https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/147080381/agari-the-worlds-first-ai-powered-reverse-sear-cooker?ref=alokfx $1000 steak blast furnace... nice Perfect Ribeye in 23 Minutes - And if your guest wants to eat too, they can wait another 23 minutes.. If you have more than two people for supper, you can buy a convenient 4-pack of Asari's. They only require 4x the counter space. d-_-b

As a wise man once said: ”Qobuz was always the answer.”

38 drivers not including the additional subs in the back. That is a lot of dust catchers...

Not For Lack Of Trying by dodie (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ukgy6v7yfn6tb Example: Second time through the album, and like it better than the first time. Released the same day as queen T above. This will have staying power in my queue.

The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift (2025) https://album.link/6czzqws7wv6p3 Example: The internet needs more old white guy opinions of music that has nothing to do with them. So why not one more? I think it is overall a nice album. Very few musicians involved, this is a pure Max Martin and Shellback joint. As Rick Beato would point out, there are 100s of tracks per song. Having this dense of a production I hope goes away pretty soon. There are some funny moments and some poignant moments. Not going into rotation, but not mad at it.

I'm with her acquired. Everything else if gravy... Oh, and Cimafunk yesterday was a killer set.

I caught parts of Earle - but I got caught up in Courtney Barnett and just rode that out. Tomorrow is about clearing my calendar to make sure that - I'm With Her - is my priority.

Wish I was there --- Samara Joy was a good set. Dan Tyminski Band was a treat, watched the end of the Rose City after Samara. Sam Bush was fun. Watching some Cash until Tweedy. From yesterday I really enjoyed: Reverend Horton Heat ALO The Mother Hips Enjoy local team.
