Album of the Week: Empty Country

We will probably be hearing a lot of talk in the coming weeks and months about "getting back to normal." It's mostly bullshit. There are very few things that you can count on to stay normal. Nothing about eating outside with a mask on is normal. Nothing about a president saying "if we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases" is normal. Nothing about continuing Record Club even though it is probably the least important thing in your life right now is normal. And yet we continue on. We have the normal playlist HERE, the normal archives HERE, and, as is normal about every other month, I have forced Pam to pick an album.
