ohhh now i understand how you listen to so much music -- you skim it!!! i always listen to full albums, no skipsies. i feel a little bit better now.

my dad plays accordion professionally (well, as a side gig... not day job). and not what you're used to be, but like... tango, gypsy jazz, brazilian choro. so i'm now on a mission to change your mind about that.

i'm going to have a lot more to say about all of this at some point.
