I know Spotify is corrupt, doesn't pay artists enough, and has an AI music problem (one, two). But I don't pay for it, and listen to commercials even though the heroine of Laid suggests that's not to be done. You don't like the links, don't click them. Pay for a service for me, and I'll link that up.

Jim Grey – vocals
Sam Vallen – guitars, production, engineering, mixing, arranging
Dale Prinsse – bass, engineering, photography
Josh Griffin – drums
2/2. Document by REM (Spotify). I really loved this band, with the Violent Femes and Prince as my youth soundtrack. Murmur and Reckoning are great albums before this, and I love every album after this too. I like their whole corpus.

2/10 Billie Eilish Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024)
2/11 Eilish was named after Holiday, who is amazing. When you go so far back in time it's probably better to listen to a playlist.
But I do love her album with Lester Young. I have a 2CD set, but there's a playlist.
