   Kind of Blue

   Miles Davis

   Side A+B · Late night · 5/5 · NM / VG+

   Side two after the house went quiet. Flamenco Sketches still does that thing.

   Blue

   Joni Mitchell

   Side A · Sunday · 5/5

   Illmatic

   Nas

   Dummy

   Portishead

   Side A+B · Rain · 4/5

   What's Going On

   Marvin Gaye

   Side A · Dinner · 5/5

   Mercy Mercy Me between courses. Nobody reached for their phone.

   Rumours

   Fleetwood Mac

   Side A+B · Company · 4/5

   Abbey Road

   The Beatles

   Side B · Sunday · 5/5

   The Dark Side of the Moon

   Pink Floyd

   Side A+B · Late night · 5/5

    Diamond Life

    Sade

    Side A · Dinner · 4/5

    Smooth Operator while chopping onions. Unreasonably elegant.
