Japanese Funk and Soul on Vinyl (late 70’s, early 80’s) | My Analog Journal
It’s a beautiful day to be alive, another reminder for myself to enjoy whatever it is I’m doing and to keep pushing on. I enjoyed a nice hike with my father earlier in the day, which helped me get my mind off whatever was bothering me. I also went to a fantastic used bookstore where I purchased Stephen King’s Cujo and H.G. Wells’ The War Of The Worlds. Reading, hooray! Nevertheless, check out this excellent Japanese funk and soul compilation from My Analog Journal.
