hey hubski, i decided to make the sales guy sweat it out 'til year end...

thanks for the welcome. i told steve i'm more of a lurker/luddite/troglodyte on social media these days, not really making good use of the medium...

but i'll try to check in here and there... as steve mentioned, i'm prone to opine on a few topics...

international psychedelic music (all kinds of music really)

international arthouse / thriller / noir / etcetera cinema

international cuisine

international political economy

(in that order... actually not likely to say anything about the last one these days)

i'll be around.

Welcome! I'd give your comment a badge but I'm fresh out. From your description you would think that you're not too keen on anything domestic.

For anyone reading this, Al has a pretty amazing record collection, is a badass cook and has an amazing family. He is a good addition to the halls of Hubski, whether he be lurking or otherwise.

Speaking of international music, you ever listen to Tom Ze?

I love Tom Ze' ... crazed stuff. brazil is a bit of a pandora's box i've been peeking into the past several years... bring a 6 pack over and i'll play you a bunch, and a bunch more...

Light in the Attic released some amazing reissues by Marcos Valle a year or 2 ago, which may have gone a bit under the radar, but they are FANTASTIC, and long overdue for release in the States. check out any of his first albums from the 70s... "garra" might be my fave, but all are solid.

This one?

I would love to bring over a six pack and listen to music. First, let's go to a bar and drink whisky. I haven't been to a bar in ages. No joke.
