Album cover features a photograph of buildings in an urban area, with most of the photograph obscured in grey. One small box area of one of the buildings is not greyed over, so it appears as though it is illuminated.

Album cover features a color photograph of DK and KK dressed in traditional African robes, seated on a mat on the ground, each holding a kora on their lap. In the background are tall trees with their green branches hanging over a dirt road.

Album cover features a color photograph of a very old-looking house with an array of instruments laid out before an entrance - mostly string instruments like lutes, guitars, and viols - but there's a sitar and an organ and a bunch of other instruments.  Several are hanging from the exterior wall of the house.

I found this recent article about Danillo Caymmi, who co-wrote the song "Viola Fora De Moda" ("Viola Out of Fashion") with Lo Borge and Capinam. It describes 1973 as "a time when music needed to be 'masked with love' to circumvent censorship".

Album cover features a color photograph of a hill on the coast of Monterey, California. The sea is a deep cobalt blue, and the waves crashing on the shore are frothy white. A small island is seen just off the shore in the distance.

Aggressively sentimental and it felt like they were cramming too much into six episodes. The pace of Detectorists was part of its charm.

Also beware of dog DNA testing services. They sell testing data to homeowners' insurance companies, who then use it to hike people's premiums if their dog is deemed to be of a more dangerous breed.

Album cover features pink, blue,  green, and yellow squiggly lines on a black background. The squiggles follow a thin brown  line that kind of suggests a map with roads or territories traced.

I remember we watched "Superfly" on vhs in a smokey dormitory in college and were impressed that the soundtrack was so clearly the lead in the movie. When the credits ran out, the music kept going.

This is a tremendous record. Released 3 months after John Coltrane's death, it features Coltrane's "Naima" as the opening track. It was recorded live at the Village Gate, New York City, on June 28, 1967.
