Distraction
Rock 'n' Roll Animal (Live)
by Lou Reed (1974)
https://album.link/i/976827224
Example:
I had a much different idea of Lou Reed from other works (mainly the Transformer album), but this was a killer set.
Thanks, everyone! I had a wonderful time at the race track over the long weekend. Being able to drive my car back was always the goal after coming back wrecked on a flatbed last time. Thankfully everything went great. It was a fun way to kick off a big year.
Happy Birthday Adam.
Remember, 40 is the new 911!

Secret Love Letters
by Lisa Batiashvili (2022)

Example:
It is a little tough when you don't know the works, and further more not even familiar with the composers (Frank, Szymanowski, Chausson). But --- captivating? yup. Well recorded? yup (it is DG) And makes me want to see her perform at some point.
It's been approximately eleventybillion years since I actually built something and I'm not sure that this qualifies but at a minimum, i finally assembled and wired something that I've been procrastinating/avoiding for like two years. I present, the IcePower 1200AS2 in a Ghent Audio case.
I'll post a completed picture at some point but it looks like a black box. Not entirely sure what I'll do with it. Maybe I'll build a set of bookshelf speakers to overpower?
Caribou
by Elton John (1974)

Example:
I have to say I am a little mixed. Some top tier songs on this album, mixed with some that did nothing for me. May be could have not been a double album? Just saying. But I will accept it for the highs.

by Electric Light Orchestra (1974)
