Not as many albums as the last couple months (pauses to make sure that's true), with 11, because my bike riding returned, effectively if not exactly, to zero and I didn't go to the gym many times.

Whatareyougonnado? ¯\(ツ)/¯

2023.September.Sneezes

A cool 75. A lotta cycling, which probably helped, as it's less time inside (with household dust) and more exposure to things outside that would make me sneeze in smaller amounts, if you get my meaning.

Meh.

33 thangs. A buncha movies via The Criterion Channel, mainly movies that are new to me. This slows down as basketball starts, but I had fun. There are some fucking great flicks here, and some not-so-bad TV, too.

24 full-album listens. Many podcasts, too, per usual, but I focused more on albums as I gymmed. It was worth it. The Smiths-listens were great (yes, Morrissey sucks); should've done that years ago.

*This was originally mistyped as "Punk Floyd" and I'm annoyed that isn't a band – or not one I've heard of.

2023.May.Albums

As I said in the April update, the months between this and August, when I'm typing this, I didn't listen to many albums at all. I watched a buncha basketball, and listened to a shitload of podcasts, but not very many albums at all. I gotta fix that. That was the whole point of this thing.

August will have more....
