I will listen! But not until I've mentally recovered from end of term.

But I'm amused you stopped just before Ghosts V, as after an episode of The Bear was essentially a music video for Together I've actually listened to that whole album a few times, and Together many.

I have listened to both Ghosts V and VI before, I just didn’t do them in this full discography run through, they’re both great!

Keep meaning to recommend Gabriel Kahane's The Ambassador, but don't want to write an essay, so: my new obsession. Concept album about LA.. So many styles. Blade Runner speech as lyrics, title track's like Paul Simon, funny bits about Die Hard, Pulp Fiction.

It’s on the list after I’ve listened to Pet Sounds!
