Judas Priest- Stained Class
(I sold all but one of my Judas Priest albums, among many others this past summer, during a particularly awful stretch of getting inventory. I got most of the Priest back yesterday. Gonna hit them all at some point. "Savage" is savage!)
Fiona Apple- Fetch The Bolt Cutters
(Still amazes me. Her best, no doubt.)
Electric Light Orchestra- Zoom
(I know it's not really a proper ELO record or Jeff Lynne solo album, but I think it's the best thing Lynne's name has ever been associated with. Sincerely.)
The Knack- Round Trip
(Three and a half songs- every bit as horrible as I remembered.)
Peter Gabriel- S/T (4th)
(Saw this tour on Thanksgiving night, 1982 at The Ritz. Mindblowing in such a small room. Bringing back memories.)
Judas Priest- Screaming For Vengeance
(Great production on this one. No wonder it was a huge hit.)
The Ventures- In Space
(Keith Moon's favorite record and def one of mine. Always hits the spot. "Love Goddess Of Venus!")
Fountains Of Wayne- Traffic & Weather
(Not enough people love this record. "This Better Be Good," "Michael & Heather, " "New Routine," & "I-95." Jeez! If this was 1984, those four tracks would have been the shit on MTV.)

Peter Gabriel in concert around his fourth solo album must have been awesome. I at least DO appreciate Traffic and Weather. Working my way through ELO and sort of saving Zoom. But maybe now is the time. P.S. Music For Airports remains transporting.
Have you listened to the New Pornographers’ 2023 album Continue as a Guest? I’m enjoying it a lot. Thanks for all you do - and the inspiration. :)
I've gotta be honest, Eno's ambient stuff leaves me cold. I know it serves a purpose, and is probably better than your run of the mill sleep app, but they do nothing for me.
