Starting a thread for whatever you’re listening to these days, post daily, weekly, whatever.

Been really enjoying this years re-release of Talking Heads Stop Making Sense (vinyl)

And Jack White’s latest, No Name (alos vinyl)

Season 2


Yeah! Season 2. The Christmas episode and Forks are two of the best hours of TV ever.

Overall agree with all that’s said above. The show does increase anxiety (sort of, it’s like the blues… but for anxiety? Does that make any sense?)

Re: Read Me

Several thoughts here.

1) thanks for hosting.
2) I look forward to connecting/reconnecting with folks about various entertainment and other topics.
3) there’s a lot of tech talk in the post, can’t say I understand it all, but I’m happy to be here.
