Damn, 20 of these posts. This feels like a landmark somehow, though that should really be marked at 24 instead, shouldn’t it? I don’t have anything special planned…

Listening/reading log #24 (October 2021)
Late again. I’ve been going through shit as usual, but that’s no excuse. All the more reason for me to post. First up: music. Juice (Ryo Kawasaki, 1976)…
Listening/reading log #23 (September 2021)
