Welcome to From the Crates. 🎶
Every now and then, I’ll pull up a stool, talk music, and show you what’s been making its way onto my shelves. Sometimes it’ll be new finds, sometimes it’ll be old favorites—but it’ll always be good music.
Come crate digging with me.
Episode 1: A spontaneous stop at Noble Records with my sister turned into a particularly jazzy haul. Join me as I show off five records that came home with me, talk about what drew me to each one, and why I’m excited to add them to the collection.
