A project I have been doing consistently thus far in 2019 are these 'consumer guide' record reviews, of which I have completed the assessment for 39 music releases in this new year, and are available to be perused here.


(My three favorite albums of the year so far are: Tim Presley's I Have to Feed Larry's Hawk, Sharon Von Etten's Remind Me Tommorow and J. McFarlane's Reality Guest's TA DA–essentially three solo acts, which is interesting.)
