Here's a look at some of my favorite recent records, recommended artists, and a few groovy scenes. Depending on your point of view, I'm sure this will either be incredibly fascinating or incredibly passe... But hey, I'm not trying to score points -- I just like the music. Hopefully some of you will, too!!
