I think it's important to have hobbies, for a number of reasons. If you don't like the word hobby you can say "interest" or "thing" (as in, that's his thing). Especially now in this age of jobs, we are especially careful, I think, in social situations to encourage people to make the distinction between what we do and what we "do."
Part of having a hobby is finding new ways to talk about it to people who only care slightly about it. So, in that spirit, I'm going to start posting a few of the new records I get every week or so. Posting them all seems kind of obnoxious, but obnoxious and boring, whereas only posting the good ones seems obnoxious and a little petty. Which is good.
So here's some finds from last night:
Marvin Gaye - In the Groove (Later re-released as "I Heard it Through the Grapevine")
Various Artists - The Happy Moog
The Fame Gang - Solid Gold From Muscle Shoals
Black Sugar - Black Sugar II
Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Singers
