I catalog my music purchases on Collectorz and Discogs , but they don’t give me a sense of change over time. So I’m noting them here weekly as well.

Various Artists, Studio One Rockers
The Studio One compilations planted a notion that maybe I didn’t hate reggae music after all. My coworkers at Waterloo Records would play these compilations, and I would find myself liking what I heard. Dawn Penn’s “No No No” left a particular impression, but many years would pass before I learned the song’s title. The only reggae music I heard growing up was sifted through a Hawaiian music filter, and I didn’t like it.
Robyn, Body Talk, Pt. 1
OK, fellow gays, I understand why you all love Robyn now.
The Faint, Danse Macabre
I stocked so many copies of this album during my Waterloo shifts, I got sick of it, having never heard a single note. If it’s that popular, it had to suck, right? Maybe in my more judgmental days …
Tyler, the Creator, IGOR
Another 2019 release up to which I am catching.
Soundtrack, This Is Spinal Tap
It’s not satire. Fight me. (It’s totally satire.)
