      No Comments on Listening Journal: April 8 – 14

Grateful Dead – 9/20/82 (New York); 4/26/69 (Chicago); 4/27/69 (Minneapolis); 12/19/73 (Tampa): I was getting tired of Mydland-era shows so I went back to 1969 and rediscovered my love for the Pigpen era.

Taylor Swift – Folklore: This has become indispensable late-night listening.

All Hands_Make Light – Darling the Dawn: I’m coming up on my one-year anniversary with this record, and despite the time I’ve spent with it, it’s still somewhat impenetrable for me. I decided to pick it up on vinyl and listen in a different context than how I’ve listened so far. It was a different experience, but I still can’t say I’ve penetrated the album’s depths.  

Tensnake – In the House: I’ve been picking up some of the Defected Records In the House mixes that I’ve missed over the years, and this is one I just found. It’s a warm, energetic, and positive mix.
