I posted my U2 comment as a note with the picture of Bono from 83. I'll write up my stories as the highlight of my Island Record days. Suffice to say Paul McGuinness told him "Stop talking to him he's nobody and you have laryngitis!" after he thanked me for doing him a personal favor. Alright enough rock reminiscing back to my day job! Thanks Matt!
I purchased the Joe Henderson cd and it fills a nice gap in our Saturday Dinner Music very tight playlist. Met Herbie after a show in Santa Cruz. He came into the audience and we did a Buddhist chant in a small circle and we chatted after cause I knew it. Then I went back to 4 mile beach and slept in my IH Scout II California dreaming.
Some awesome picks here Matt! Some of these (Diiv, Arooj Aftab, Beth Gibbons) are definitely candidates for my AOTY list this year. I love the Glass Beams release which I also discovered through Ted. I just wish it was an album because the entire EP is fantastic. Most of the others aren’t in genres I tend to listen to much, but that Ayra Starr release is certainly something I’ll be digging into more deeply.
Your latest music roundup was an absolute joy to read! I loved how you covered such a diverse range of genres, offering fresh and unique listening experiences. There is so much in this. Thank you.

Haha that’s a great quote! Bono certainly has a rep for caring about his fans in that way, though, so respect to him. Thanks for sharing. :)
