Entry #60 – What I’ve Been Listening to Lately: May and June 2026 (a.k.a A Lot About A Little)

As I alluded to the other day when I churned out another entry on video game soundtracks, I haven’t really been going through my record collection as of late. I’ve wanted to but I think I’ve been turned off by the format I chose for the monthlies, the mindset that everything I listen to IContinue reading “Entry #60 – What I’ve Been Listening to Lately: May and June 2026 (a.k.a A Lot About A Little)”
