Hmm, I've got the archives right now, will check it out on iTunes as well. Thanks for checking!

I know! That's why I stopped reading up on Wikipedia and am hunting for a single source which can get me started before I delve deeper Oooh and I love this kind of rabbit hole as long as you don't have to take a test and the reading is for pleasure.

Yes I've been listening to it a lot over the past few months, although I must admit it did take a while before I could identify particular tunes and artistes!
I think Jazz and the Blues are way way better than any of the hip-hop out there nowadays. Now that's one genre I simply do not get, don't think reading will help with that one. .
