Thank you for that opening essay! Self-interrogation can be exhausting, but is an important part of being a "professional listener." I was recently wrestling with doubt about an album I was enjoying despite disliking nearly all the RIYL artists in the publicist's email. Sometimes those things do no one any favors! Thanks for the tip on Annie Williams, BTW, liking Visitor a lot. Finally, a tip for you: Don't miss Anastasia Coope on July 5 at Constellation, just a jaw-dropping artist.
