I get to be as self-indulgent as I want without wasting anyone's time. Guilt-free solipsism -- excellent!

Some of you are aware of my affection for Rhino's '60s Soul box set, Beg, Scream & Shout-- "144 chunks of red-dirt, uptown, down-home, Northern, Deep-South, spit 'n' polish, grits 'n' sweat, deep, d-e-e-p SOUL", each artist allocated one song and one song only. And packaged like a box of 7"s, with baseball card profiles of each artist within. All kinds of obscure soul music, just as good as the established classics. Most people who've experienced this box set at my house have had to track down a copy for themselves, expense be damned. That's because it is, in fact, the Best Box Set Ever.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because Rhino have just gone and released Can You Dig It? The '70s Soul Experience, a six-disc 136-song orgasm-in-a-box. Curses -- don't they know we're in a recession???

On the other hand, my birthday is coming up....
