A Streaming Pile of Hit: Amaziah - Straight Talker

A Streaming Pile of Hit - where you put the "s" in hit is up to you.  Yeah, a number of months ago I figured I'd get a subscription to a streaming service. Why not? Oh I still have a lot of records to go through, and if that were to get dull I have a few thousand CDs but streaming was that last uncharted frontier for me.  There's something awesome and also sort of mind numbing about being able to just have just about everything at your fingertips. For me it's being able to find the gaps in a lot of my collection, or to revisit things I used to have but haven't heard in years, sometimes decades. It's also being able to discover new stuff without having to wait. The biggest kick with records is finding those treasures that have been forgotten, truly forgotten - there's no second life in the cloud - they have been cut off and left for dead. It's bittersweet but kind of rewarding, but mostly sad knowing that you are among the last ears to bear witness...
