You shouldn't get rid of either of these. You should exhaust all of your shelving options to expand capacity.
I get more likes and interactions on Mastodon than here.. though it's still not a lot. Posting to a group that boosts toots helps.
Breaking Bad, S4 E13, "Face Off" (2011)
The dogs wisely kept their distance. I locked them inside, and went back out. It had disappeared. Suffice it to say, I will never go into the yard. Never again.
Oh My God I just saw a #rattlesnake in my back yard. I've lived in Santa Fe for decades and had never seen one before. It was just sitting on the grass in the middle of the yard, curled up, rattling loudly. I always wondered if I would recognize one if I saw it. Yes, you will easy recognize it.
Steely Dan - "Countdown to Ecstasy" (1973)

I still don't really like Steely Dan, but I did just purchase my second SD record at a thrift store today. And I did look up the lyrics to the Bard College diss track.

Kan Mikami, John Edwards, Alex Neilson: Live At Café Oto (Otoroku)

A mesmerising set from the idiosyncratic avant blues/folk legend, backed by a stellar rhythm section, recorded at Oto in 2013...

I found an old London/Decca pressing of Chris Connor's self-titled 1956 lp, and I can't get over the fact that they messed with her hair. It's some sort of.. illustration over her hair? Atlantic and London covers included for reference. #ChrisConnor

Wild to think that Vanguard included Requia in the Fahey twofer.

Kan Mikami — ‘There are No Dreams to be Realized’
Was delighted to find some records by this icon of the Japanese counter-culture (and, later, a PSF recording artist). This is one of my faves by him.
Guy Carawan - "Green Rocky Road" (1976)

If you see a hammered dulcimer record, just get it.

This is the BCS spin-off we need: Kristy, the spurned scholarship applicant, is all grown up now, and she's taking Jimmy's advice.
Kan Mikami - "Merchant of the Pass" (1997)

Continuing a Mikami Kan theme this morning.
