#56: "Ain't Even Done With The Night" - John Mellencamp / "Concrete Sky" - Beth Orton
Encouraging comments to confirm these songs sound eerily similar to where I was standing in a pharmacy hearing one song start, thinking it was the other!
#55: June 17, 1994 (dir. Brett Morgan)
Where were you about 30 years ago? Brett Morgan's documentary holds up wonderfully, capturing a moment in time that still shakes me to the core.
2024 So Far!
At the midway point, so what have I liked this year? This is a week of a lot of music/movies/lists so strap in, folks. Here are some records and films that I recommend thus far in 2024.
#54: "New Horizons" - Thread
Less rambling from me this time on a song I discovered through my friend Bill Ackerman. It also ties into a favorite album from 30 years ago. I decided to ask Bill to share thoughts about this artist.

#53: Upstream Color (2013) (dir. Shane Carruth)
Coming up for air after swimming. An orchid. A thief. A sampler. A life lost, then found. Trying to piece together a mystery that can't be solved. Whether it's about me, the director, the film itself.
