song popularity as a contagious process... "Electronic music has a basic R number of 3,430, making it the most infectious music genre" https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspa.2021.0457

Thanks for the heads-up tinnitus, I will check out that band. As for jams, I have enjoyed some by Spafford

Jeff sings For You (I'd Do Anything) in the tribute to Rocky Erikson https://lightintheattic.bandcamp.com/album/may-the-circle-remain-unbroken-a-tribute-to-roky-erickson

Not on ECM but it could have been therein, I think; I have been enjoying Markus Stockhausen - Wild Life http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/video/markus-stockhausen/27658 Merry Christmas, VCers!

Another Dylan message, I contain multitudes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgEP8teNXwY&feature=youtu.be

I have two of his "impossible" compilations. The guy got Keith Richards to cover Mingus and Tom Waits singing Disney, not within everyone's reach! RIP

Stay safe folks. The thing is getting scary here at the other side of the pool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHcTDq1GqII&feature=youtu.be Washing all the Hands Some folks trust their doctorOthers trust their gutI don?t trust nothingCuz I know we?re in a rut Say it once again nowWhoa I hope you understandBefore it?s done and overPlease just wash your fucking hands! Washing, washing all the handsOutbreak, outbreak on the land Some folks look for hand soapOthers look for bleachSome folks up in CostcoBut it?s always out of reach I can tell your futureOh just look what's on your hands!But

This is exciting!..Am I alone in hearing some Califone in Wilco's Ode to Joy?

I don't think OTJ is such a departure from the previous Wilco catalogue. I hear distant echoes of YHF, ST and AGIB, in particular with the headphones on, as some VCers mentioned. I would love to hear the band playing it in an intimate setting Overall, I think is a great record. It has soothed my soul along the autumn and early winter. Thank you Wilco!
