If you like proggy stuff I’d definitely check out Arch Echo, they’re incredible. If you like acoustic stuff then Rodrigo y Gabriela are also a great listen, and so is Kaki King (though I mostly only know her older stuff)

What part of cleaning your ass could be misconstrued as gay? Feels like an unnecessary aside, haha. Thanks for the step by step though, that makes sense!

Could be off base here, but for me an album can be a fairly emotional experience. If it’s something you’ve spent years listening to you may be feeling emotions (knowingly or otherwise) from your past experiences. I don’t know if it’s the feeling you’re feeling, but I often find myself pleasantly exhausted after a good album :) and it’s good to take a break after a couple of those, in the same way you usually wouldn’t watch several movies back to back!

Somebody should give that guy a raise!
