I began the morning with Def Leppard’s not terrible covers album, Yeah!. I didn’t listen to it all, just a few of my favorites. I’ve now segued to the Doobie Brothers hits compilation from earlier this year.

I finished Pearl Jam Gorge #3. I’ve listened to Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited to celebrate its 42nd anniversary. Where to next, oh iPod of mine?

I listened to 2/3 of the show yesterday, getting all the way through “Spin the Black Circle.”
