Taylor Swift – Folklore: One of only three TS records I own (or want) on vinyl. By far, this is the best format for Folklore.

Grateful Dead – Saint of Circumstance (6/17/91): I read the liner notes as I dug deeper into this one, and it gave me insight into why the show is special. Good liner notes are so rare and so rewarding when you find them.

Portugal. The Man – Evil Friends: Whenever I hear one of their songs, I like it. Whenever I listen to one of their albums, I’m bored. My latest attempt changed nothing.

Old friends who made it into rotation this week: Deep Dish: Global Underground 021 Moscow
