Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis (1958) https://album.link/kmwg40gxf7nmt Example: Mic was a little hot back then with some peaking, but she could belt.

Central Heating (Expanded Edition) by Heatwave (1977) https://album.link/fqbsvcbx7srf0 Example: Some cool grooves on a warm day.

...and Patient Number 9 by Ozzy Osbourne (2022) https://album.link/hm7bxmvpdbdjz Example: His final release as my final listen for the day. Thanks Ozzman for sharing your art and pain with us. The Ozzman goeth. 🤘

... and Ordinary Man by Ozzy Osbourne (2020) https://album.link/nz94tsmmhqxd0 Example: Amazing trick that his voice is like a switch, 70yo+ at this point and his voice is right there the entire time, and of course he gets the players to show up.

and.. Scream by Ozzy Osbourne (2021) https://album.link/b02swtdbpb428 Example: Not a fav album, but some gems in there. And the sad...

^ yup .. and Down To Earth by Ozzy Osbourne (2001) https://album.link/zbtz4hjjh3tvv catching up, in memoriam, on a few albums that I didn't know that well. I have been very rewarded.

Reasons... Blizzard Of Ozz by Ozzy Osbourne (1981) https://album.link/mbcqtdrxwpk6f Example: Yes I know Crazy Train Exists. But I just like the Album opener so much. RIP 🤘

Rock on with Randy forever ... RIP Ozzy 🤘

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music (1973) https://album.link/q4k7kdbzzrrhh Example: More of an Early Genesis prog sound than I was expecting. Much enjoyed {most of it}

Make Yourself by Incubus (1999) https://album.link/nvm3j5zs2pdbx Example: To fill your late 90s white-noise with a beat needs.

Another 2.5 hour treatise of Evangelion. I like this along with the other breakdown that I recently watched, they focus on different aspects and ultimately bring more understanding than either of them alone. Solidifying that the Anime kicks ass.

Warm Day - Hot Funk. (50yo) Mothership Connection by Parliament (1975) https://album.link/mvfsbw8h7rrmb Example: There is only one Example needed.

So this dropped yesterday, I am not sure there is a new album in the works or just this track. I am not sold on it, not bad, but it also does not do much for me at all. But I thought I would share regardless.

at first... hmmm interesting. {internets check} hmmm ... pricy 🥺

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater (2002) https://album.link/frb2khtqzt3f9 Example: Realizing there were a few gaps in my Dream Theater history. Filling those gaps. Happily.

Unusual Weather by Michael Manring (1985) https://album.link/kcfjzcvstwqth Example: It has been too long since I have listened to Michael's fretless bass. I have this on vinyl, but that is in storage, which is sad. But music is still good.

Blasphema?!? {...or science...}

weeee

Crossing Borders by La Serenissima (2025) https://album.link/j4gkqzjvdxptv Example: Not what I expected from the album cover, but a lovely collection of Telemann, Sieber, Durante, Vivaldi, and Brescianello. Very well recorded and performed.

Ha - I literally watched this two days ago.. I watched the series when it came out and I owned it on tape. This vid did help me understand some things. I have watched some reactions to the series, and it is mostly people saying, WTF? most of the time... Great series, great use of stillness and the sound of cicadas. Anyway - The player looks cool, I don't think it fits my use case...

Dang an entire kitchen just filled with people with tweezers..

Yup smoker still works. I had a good chunk of it as sushi last night, sans wasabi, which bummed me out, but the fish was yummy. And the chunk of freshly smoked for supper tonight night was lovely. Also receently 10lbs of pork belly {not pictured}...
