The taste of black licorice. Sacking out thinking of the state of vinyl. I gotta be up early, so I’ll keep this short. Tomorrow is Record Store Day, which I’ll faithfully avoid. Today I picked up thirty-year-ish anniversary re…

No argument.

It relied on a few of the albums on this list to be important in its own decade.

Amen.

You are 100% our people.

So nice to discover your work. Keep on.

The precision should bother me. Like it should feel lifelessly mathematical. But it’s so soulful.
