Hello. I would like to celebrate the lost art of the compilation album as an eye and ear opening path into pleasures previously unknown. It might be a sampler, it might be a mix album but it's a person's singular vision of a particular genre or theme. Thread below of some favourites

This gloriously fluffy December moth looks dressed for the season, don't you think?
Today's #WinterWonder is one of the few moths you'll spot at this time of year. No Christmas dinner for these guys though – they don't actually feed, instead relying on energy reserves built up as a caterpillar.

Many years ago there was a friendly little charity shop in Sacriston, ladies knitting and making tea. Behind a curtain there was often a pile of LP's. A strange mixture, you might find Funkadelic, Shirley Collins, Teenage Fanclub, or Roger Miller... youtu.be/5VQ1l8KgGYY?...

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

A couple weeks ago we got a lovely note from someone on the other side of the country thanking us profusely for ILLing a book to them. Curious, we looked up the book they borrowed.
It would have cost $1,200 for them to purchase it.
ILL is one of the things I love most about libraries.
