What are you listening to? June 2019

I like it a lot.

My theory is, people listened to this bitd after hearing Imogen Heap's Speak for Yourself (2005), and drew comparisons that did not continue to hold true for them with the passage of time. SFY is quite good, and this one is, also.

Exactly how I did it. Both are top notch.

Donald Edwards - Prelude To Real Life (2016)

I'm usually very anal about keeping my CDs on (or near) the shelves in my office. Of course, there are some in the automobiles, but there was a time where CDs didn't wander about the house. Over the past couple of years, a sizeable stack has grown in the family room -- surprisingly, that coincided with when I bought a receiver, cd player, and speakers for that room. Imagine that. However, over the past year or so, I don't listen to much music in that room any more.

After visiting my brother's house earlier this week, I noticed how much cleaner it was than my house and decided to double down on my cleaning efforts at home. Trust me, "doubling down" on my usual effort isn't exactly a Atlas-like struggle. Yesterday and this morning, I was hard at work at it. This morning, I started listening to some of those wayward CDs.

I guess cleaning up does have some rewards.

Jazzy, these are not the vibes you're looking for.
