Well, I have a little time now. This whole experience has filled me with all sorts of emotions. I will gladly admit that I've lost my shit numerous times over the past few weeks. I've found myself pulled over on the side of the road in tears. I've felt betrayed in some ways as well. I've had all these records define different eras of my life and become my friends. I know that for a set amount of time I can count my friend to take me someplace I trust. I know that no matter what these albums are an hour of what ever musical image captured in time so that they can relive their story. I've payed the bends (Radiohead) numerous times, listened to it twice and thrown it out the window of my moving car, I will not explain. I know that if I'm really down I can turn on Vaya(at the drive-in) and feel human again. I know these records and they know me. Now, after all of this stereo I don't even know these records anymore. They have this life to them that I haven't seen and a lot of it is unexpected. Beauty, yes. But it's just so much. Some of the albums I am weary about hearing in stereo. I just don't want them to change. The music I've written was written in mono for the way I heard it when I wrote it, right now I can't imagine seeing some side of it that I never knew. So I won't be listening to any of it for a little while or maybe ever. It's just weird. I'm grateful for this. It's way more powerful than I could ever imagine. Where do I start now?




I'm keeping track of the albums I've re-listened to in stereo. Feel free to post suggestions.

Here Goes.
