Golden Hits of the Everly Brothers. I could transcribe the music to every song on that record just because I've heard it so often. It was one of my mom's favorites and it saw a lot of action when I was a kid. Somehow, I ended up with that record and I still have it.

So, music that was not of my time, and that I did not buy, carved a spot in my psyche.

Sweet!

Finally I can get my tai-chi forms done without hearing the Commodores screaming, "Celebrate," in my ears at 195 dB!

My last couple may not happen - I am currently at a loss to come up with "good quality" final albums, that I like. I mean, my musical palette is diverse, but the depth therein varies greatly. So, discovering something from a genre I';m not all that familiar with would require more listening time than reasonably fits with the unspoken cadence of these lists. Lou Rawls is great, but finding, listening to critically, and determining how I feel about his last album would take a lot of time, since I never listened to it before, for example. If something comes to mind soon, I'll post it, but I think at this juncture I'm out of juice.

Not on the scale of Typhon's snowpocolypse, after a few weeks of temperate and above average nice weather we are now getting freezing rain. Supposedly going to be an on-off thing for the next three or four days.

Alas, it seems those magazines have not propagated to the midwestern US. At least, not to the small store in the small town I live in haha. All they have are the usual assortment of cooking, fashion, and gossip rags. They don't even have a dedicated magazine area anymore, just racks at each checkout for impulse buys.

Don't those idiots understand the cultural and spiritual importance of Black Sabbath? I suggest that it is a conspiracy to keep the truth from the masses. I do live directly in the middle of the so-called Bible Belt, after all.

*Directly north of me is where the Mennonites live. Head west from there and over into Kansas and it's Southern Baptist (which you'll find all over). To the south is RLDS-land. Pockets of Catholicism can be found here and there. Speaking of Kansas - oh my god meh. The whole state is one big wheat field. (sub soybeans/corn/alfalfa where appropriate). Even so, it shines as a Mecca of never-ending curiosities compared to the desolation that is Oklahoma. If the NULL value was a state, that would be Oklahoma. I don't even understand that place, it's so bad as to defy comprehension.

Oh wow, that is cool - and unexpected! Nothing in the magazines at my supermarket has caught my eye in DECADES. That would have.

Going to stop in tomorrow and see what I can see. Thanks for sharing!
