    The “Similar Album” Stack

    I have no idea if this will get any traction. I’ve really been digging the Futurebirds album that was the discovery pick for Magnolia Record Club this month. I decided to see what Allmusic would say was a similar album. Next thing I know I had spin the following by spinning a record that was...

    End of the world music habits

    With COVID 19 slowly putting the entire world on lock down, I was curious. I know that many are working from home and listening to more music than normal.
