Still Digging #002.

Neptunian Maximalism are one of five records in the first Still Digging: efowski.substack.com/p/still-digg...

After 20+ years of writing about music, I'm starting another place to write about it. Clearly, I don't have enough music to listen to.

Naturally, my response is to go looking for even more music.

This may be a disease.
