For The Ears

I found this short folksy album by Scott Orr and it's called Horizon and it's really chill.

I can't stop listening to Soup For One by Chic. I also found out that they've been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ELEVEN times and have never got in. CHIC!!!

Oh, and check out my last album if you haven't already. It's called DAREDEVIL. 

For The Eyes

I watched the new Little Richard documentary by Lisa Cortés and you should too. They were really waiting for him to die before they honoured him, huh?

Well, I’m gonna make like a boulder and roll. Thanks for reading and join me next time for more of the same. Any comments or suggestions, get in touch! And if you'd like to help out with my content creation endeavours, check out my Patreon.
