the man loves his wumpscut.

someone asked on another thread if he had a list but i couldn't find that thread.

plus, that bonkers list deserves its own thread.

plus, he's gonna have a new book out next year or whenever!

so i stole this from facebook. don't sue!

I think that was me that asked. Thanks. I found some of his picks in various places, but it's nice to have the whole list in one place. I've been digging that King Heavy.

The Sonics album is def worth hearing. They didn't bother to publicize it much, did they? Too busy making their living and staying in shape on the road, as always (they were more than ready for that phase of the record biz to rule again, not that it ever didn't, for most bands, no matter how many records they put out). If Thomas Rhett is bro country, he's the only one such I've heard good for a whole album. Lots of other goodies and likelies listed, of course (Girlschool had a new single? Must check that).

Someone asked on this thread:

What Chuck Eddy has (really) been Listening To

completely misread this as chuck d at first

Did Chuck E. like the new Rickie Lee Jones song "Chuck D.'s in Love"
