The best part of it all. Truth be told, I think I enjoy selling more than buying at this time.

Also not an unplayed listen, UT spurred from the New Music Friday! discussion from earlier: Squid - Bright Green Field (signed)

Not an unplayed, but just had an urge... Sade -  Promise

It is a sizeable improvement from O Monolith and I no longer feel broken. Their songwriting is more focused and mature, as you have mentioned. Both "Crispy Skin" and "Well Met (Fingers Through the Fence)" are standout tracks. However, I do think this is to its detriment with most of the middle...

Continuing... Momoko Kikuchi (桃子菊池) - Ocean Side City pop standard, and very plentiful in supply in Japan. Dunno why a color reissue campaign of her discography was necessary (manufactured in Japan, no less).

Back to running through my unplayed records... Akira Inoue (井上鑑) - Prophetic Dream (予言者の夢) ¥800 (~$5.50 USD) OG in Kanazawa with all of the extras? Yes please!

I have seen her live (opened for Yeule). She struggled to get the audience hyped, even during her energetic songs. My opinion still stands.

Yeah I think Sasami is kinda mid at best.

Have a great birthday, @Nee Lewman!

Seconded. I have revisited a few 2020 releases in the past two months (along with some I have never tried) and would rearrange my top50 drastically.

First two months of 2025. There's been enough to talk about. Liked more than I thought I would. 🔥 Ichiko Aoba (青葉市子) - Luminescent Creatures [Aoba-san is one of the greatest experiences among Japanese musicians I bore witness to in person. Here, she continues her delicately intimate journey...

Model/Actriz ticket purchased.

Combined in solidarity with today's e-commerce/retail blackout, I have not purchased a record since late October last year.

You love to see it.

Thank you for hosting this month, @Matt M.

Day 28 - National Pancake Day - I know we all own multiple records from many artists. Pick one artist and stack those bad boys up and play them all day. Julia Holter full length discography Favorite artist ever. Said that many times, practically since the time I joined N&G. Seen her perform...

Day 27 - No Brainer Day - Play something relaxing. Hiroshi Yoshimura (吉村弘) - Surround Always relaxing.

Day 26 - Letter To An Elder Day - Play something that you think your parents or an older friend would enjoy. Julie Byrne - Not Even Happiness (signed) My parents who like older singer/songwriters would probably be into Julie's reserved style.

Day 25 - National Billy Day - Play something with someone named Billy in the band. Dexter Gordon - GO! Billy Higgins on the kit.
