A Playlist for Self Isolating
Hey my crew... weird times, right? Hopefully everyone is doing okay, though I know many of you are in sh*tstorm city. This town is full of gig and service workers, small businesses, and restauranteurs, so there's a lot of uncertainty now. Thinking of you buds.
I moved my desk home to work from my kitchen yesterday. Not ideal, but fewer doorknobs and keypads to touch when I don't commute to the workshop. I've been playing a ton of records during the day because the internet is SLOW. Thought I'd use this opportunity to write a Workshop Hi-fi post, but decided to just do a long form album list instead. I'm just pulling records off that feel right for the minute. No commentary, just some recommendations. Happy quarantines, my friends.
