Oh, naive, innocent me of yesterday. I look at the last line of my post..."That seems manageable"....and want to pat that version of me on the head and say, "Well, isn't that precious". Okay, so I finished The Murph. And I did it in less than 60-minutes (57:48); but it was rough. I feel good...

At risk of getting torn apart here, how bad of an idea is it to place my TT on top of my amp? They're currently next to one another, but I'm considering moving them to a smaller space that doesn't allow for that. I'm worried about the heat coming out of the top of the amp (there's space between it and the TT but I don't want it to overheat) and also possible vibrations from the amp affecting TT playback?

My mom rarely ever recommends music to me. She asked me about Bill Withers today, said she was listening to him and thought I should too. A few hours later and it turns out he's passed away, crazy world. RIP Bill Withers, one of the all time soul greats!

I love live hip hop with a band or orchestra. Been listening to Nas - Illmatic with National Symphony Orchestra, Kanye West - Late Orchestration, Jay-Z - Unplugged and The Roots Come Alive all day. What are some other albums like these that have orchestras backing hip hop artists that I should check out?

The one bad thing about having a Nest doorbell is watching my mail lady throw my records onto the porch. Every. single. time. I'm sure worse things happen to it during its trip to me, but I don't like watching it haha

After playing a 10" record and realizing I never even look at the 10" records which I have stored separately from my 12", I added the handful of them back in with the 12" records. Does this make me a heathen? I have them stored centered on the records around then, is there really a chance for them to warp the 12" records around them? I have them stored so I can flip through them, not looking at the spines.

I can't decide what my favorite Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings album is. When Soul of A Woman came out I thought that was it, then thought it was just recency bias and gave the crown back to 100 Days, 100 Nights. Listening to both back to back today and still can't decide haha both are so good!
