Looks fantastic. Just subscribed via iphone podcast app. A couple more I recommend, "Cocaine and Rhinestones" is a very well done deep dive into classic country music history. It's an area I know a lot about, but still learn many new things from the podcasts. "Thanks for Giving a Damn by Otis Gibbs" is a very entertaining and informative podcast on a wide range of very interesting music background topics/interviews.

I found it available for streaming on SoundCloud, at least I couldn't see a way to buy the album there. Listened a bit to the samples, great!
I ordered the CD from a third-party seller on Amazon, quite a bit cheaper than from Amazon itself, even with shipping (which I could have free from Amazon by buying something else from my wish-list).
In general, I much prefer downloading, but it seems that fewer mainstream releases can be found in full flac, other than rip-off hi resolution. So when I want actual CD quality, and can't find it via download, I will buy the plastic.
And I'll compare. We are fairly well off in Canada, re iTunes, as we pay $9.99, which I think is what US customers pay in US$. But if I can find a CD that comes within 20% of that, counting shipping, I'll generally go for it. And if it's bought directly from a US address I generally don't have to pay the 13% local tax.
Unfortunately, CDBaby is no longer emphasizing their download business, and have dropped the flac format from their options. Although it was $10 US, a premium on Canadian iTunes, the flac made a difference.
From time to time I find older (and very occasionally newer) albums at the library for loaning. Of course, I return it before it's due, sometimes just hours after I got it. . .
From an audiophile point of view, the current release of the Takada album sounds promising, or at least interesting from a marketing point of view -- REEL-2-REEL TO DIGITAL CONVERSION, loudly trumpeted. Not sure how else they would do it, actually.

Nick Cave - Distant Sky - four track live EP, recorded at Copenhagen. As a long time Cave aficionado, this is great stuff. Four tracks drawn from across his post-Birthday Party career.

Sir Paul McCartney did a very fine release with several great melodies! It is really fun to listen thru.
He does release his back catlog remastered but unfortunately butchered this one to DR garbage like his fellow Beck did with the Colors album. These music millionairs don't allow good sound for the money of CD anymore it seems. I ordered the german standard CD.

Black Mountain Sides - free CD with Mojo magazine. The December issue that just arrived has a big feature about Led Zeppelin, and this compilation is (I think) intended to accompany that, with a variety of folk/blues tracks, some quite heavy. Anyway, it's one of the better such compilations, and all the better because it's not typically the kind of music I listen to.

The Sporting Life by Diamanda Galás with John Paul Jones. On the surface a somewhat unlikely collaboration from 1994, but one that works for me!

The Complete Funhouse Sessions by The Stooges. This is a 7 CD set, with an improbable number of takes of Loose. I think there are 28! Anyway, a great set if you're keen on The Stooges!
