Into another week...

Just before 7...

...and under reasonable skies that I would not see "in the flesh" today...

Rather, I'd be inside...

A day off from this...

...as I compiled my initial very large list of LPs released in 2019...

I also looked at which I might have bought if I'd had unlimited cash but been restricted to chart LPs only...

Discussions with Creeker Craig re my CD intake...

This is the haul thus far for 2023...

So, 46 CDs so far this year...

I have bought all these, mainly, from charity shops and bargain bins, which accounts for the levels of eclecticism...

Of the 46, only 6 were bought "new"...

And, and...

The ability to now download anything I like at zero cost has badly impacted my CD intake...

I have added some 700 or so downloaded albums to my collection in the first 58 days of 2023...

I may well be out of control...

For example, to collate my 2019 list above, I went through the "Albums of the Year" website's page for that year and, of the almost 800 LPs there, I ID'd nearly 40 LPs I "needed" to have...

And, now I do...

Of course, I am lucky to be of the mindset that it's the music, rather than the medium, that matters...

This evening, baked potato duties with Anne at Pilates and "University Challenge" was recorded and watched post "The Black List", with the end of Season 6 now just 2 episodes away...

On "UC", a disappointing 85 - bonus questions letting us down...

I think that was about it...

Highlight of the Day : Music (rather than "packaging") collecting...

Today's new music:-
