This might be the optimum time to buy CDs.

They are super cheap in second hand shops or eBay, you can find pretty much anything (whereas there's a bunch of stuff that's #notonspotify), and sound quality is well… nearly gold standard (no, most humans can't hear the difference between FLAC 16/44 and FLAC 24/96).

And having them doesn't prevent you from also enjoying the convenience of streaming or/of files (which you can always rebuild from the discs).

I'm glad i never got rid of mine.

Here's something that's #NotOnSpotify: the cult 1999 Fat Wreck Chord compilation Short Music For Short People, "a 101 of your favourite mostly #punk bands doing their own 30 second song", in the words of Dance Hall Crashers singer Karina Deniké.

Which means, by extension, that one of Satanic Surfers' best songs, Another Stale Cartoon, is not there either. Meh.

Flight to the Moon - Official NASA voice tapes of the flight of Apollo 11 and man’s first moon landing.

Found this album and couldn’t resist…a documentary of the Apollo 11 mission including Astronauts & Mission Control as they launch, travel to and land in the moon in July 1969. Plus some TV news broadcast incorporation and even Nixon’s call to the astronauts.

A nice synopsis of the week’s long events to a single LP. Great booklet with 10-pages of supplementary text and photos.

Reading news to the astronauts was a bit of a waste of time on the album, but still a great package.
