Rabi Nakayama, Hira Hira (Polydor, 1972), second full-length LP by the so-called "Japanese Bob Dylan" whom she & her music sounds nothing like to these ears but that's neither here nor there, this is a terrific album & inexpensive on Discogs (or free no doubt on the Tubes of You)

I miss the innocence of the early blogging days. No trying to monetize your audience. No algorithms. No funnel talk. It was fun and playful. People were genuinely excited to share their weird obsessions and interests. I will forever try to recreate that corner of the internet.

This evening I found a sealed copy of a 55-year-old OG pressing of Art Ensemble of Chicago's People in Sorrow (Nessa, 1969) am listening to it for the first time and am even more convinced they're my favorite jazz group of all time this piece is transcendent

Another huge personal grail: RD Burman's Yaadon Ki Baaraat (OG Odeon, 1973) an absolutely funtacular movie and one of the greatest music scenes Indian cinema's history: "Aap Ke Kamre Mein" if you haven't seen & heard it "c'mon baby!" youtu.be/xqsreJs7owg?si…

Felt like a jerk this weekend hearing the words "Greek records flow like water in my neighborhood" coming out my braggy mouth in a used Brooklyn record store but later that same day found 2 dozen more Greek LPs at my local thrift store for $1.50 each & now I feel like a reporter?

This incredible Lebanese LP arrived at my door last week; giving it a first listen now. The latest Israeli act of terrorism sickens & the American media's complete inability to see it as the rest of the world sees it's infuriating. Stop funding genocide & terrorism in our name
