tinnitus photography Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 once again i feel like i bought too many reissues; looking back rather than forward is not the best way to go through life but i am a sucker for nostalgia. I will have to dig through the list of what i got (Discogs, thx for the assist) but i think i can reasonably say that my favorite record of the year was probably the new Grails record, Anches En Maat.
