I checked the link. It went to page 3270 of a forum conversation. When I went to the first page and saw that the initial installment was 42 chapters long, I set it aside for another time.I saw this recommendation on Head-Fi and thought of @Old Uncle Toe.
Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Not that I plan to give up my LPs... If someone had suggested 10 years ago that I give up my LP's, I would have kicked them out of the house and probably taken out a restraining order on them. Now there's Tidal, I'm 10 years older, 10 years lazier, and while I still have no plans of ditching...www.head-fi.org
In other news, now that I'm in the new house I want to replace the receiver and speakers for the main sound system. I'm happy with the Fulla DAC I bought. So I looked to Schiit for a receiver. Unfortunately that's not their mission.

Clicking the link takes me right to the Nanci Griffith recommendation, which was what I wanted to bring to your attention.

Oh! As a matter of fact, I did take that into consideration. I'm listening to it now. Thanks!
My girlfriend and I are taking an 8-hour drive tomorrow. She likes classic rock and country. I'm pretty tired of classic rock but I play it because we both know all the songs and there's something charming about singing in the car together. But this is going on the playlist, with Patty Griffin and Amanda Ann Platt.

It’s Official: Guitar Players Really Do Get More Chicks
From the continuing annals of social science: this time the journal Psychology of Music proves the obvious once again (which is what social science is best at when it “proves” anything)…

Interestingly, Bazan's emotional and spiritual trajectories have been so similar to mine as to cause me to sigh or grieve in release.
There are so many quotable statements and paragraphs that I would just ask anyone who might care to read the entire article.
I will leave it at that.

Yes, that is a remarkable article.

I've been perusing the What Are You Listening To? thread on Head-Fi, and I'm finding that the @Zeeba Neighba style of listening to music (a focus on older, more established works) is much more prevalent than mine (a focus on newer music).
As a matter of fact, I don't see much new music being listened to at all on there.
Cue the old joke about audiophiles listening to the same 10 albums over and over.

Now that would have been something to see and hear!

I listen to new albums a lot, but not so often new artists. Blues is my favorite genre and it's not a very popular one, so don't have a lot of sources for suggestions of new artists.I've been perusing the What Are You Listening To? thread on Head-Fi, and I'm finding that the @Zeeba Neighba style of listening to music (a focus on older, more established works) is much more prevalent than mine (a focus on newer music).

And for the popular stuff I do like (Americana for instance) there are so many artists I don't know where to start. Occasionally there'll be a playlist on Spotify that I check out, but I run out of patience with them. Listening through 20 tracks I don't care for to find the one I do takes more time and patience than I have on hand.
I'm confined by my own idiosyncrasies.
