i want to thank you all (expecially r. at Iddiosyncrassy@aol.com) for
your precious suggestions regarding the deads.
now i have a better idea of how to (try to) go through dead music.
it really seems hard to think you could enjoy the deads at their best in
times like these when you're rushing everyday from left to right, from
up to down, doing millions of things, but maybe listening to them "in
the background" could be the best option in the hope something could
catch your attention and lead you to discover more.
so that's what i'm going to do with archives.org (wow! impressive! and
now where do i start from?)
