An update on this project: going swimmingly. I haven’t even streamed music beyond a few songs. That being said, I had to listen to this one today. No regrets. Absolutely no regrets. I’ll have to cop it on vinyl and CD sometime soon.

Cameron Winter’s album Live at Carnegie Hall on Apple Music.

#nowspinning Artist: Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile Album: Lotta Sea Lice Believe it or not, I don’t own this album; a co-worker let me borrow it. Even better, it’s an album I haven’t heard before. This seems like it’ll be good! #vinyl #records

I’ve been seeking a way to listen to music offline. The way I’ve found is CDs, which are then ripped to my computer and subsequently sent to an iPod. It’s been good. I have had to tell myself to slow down, though. Not enough shelf space for these things!

My CD collection, or at the very least most of it. The Abbey Road super deluxe box set (which I also own on vinyl) is just out of frame. I got two King Gizzard CDs recently, but I just now ran out of space, so they’re not on this shelf.
