So I deleted the ill thought out Record Scores blog because, who am I kidding, I can’t keep up with more than one of these things (BTW this weekend’s scores include a copy of Exuma II, visually a VG- but still plays through fine, and a minty copy of the Joseph Byrd LP on Takoma in case you were curious).

Fred Phelps is Coming For Shabbos | The Brooklyn... →
Break out the gifilte fish everyone! In a bold move that is sure to reverberate all the way down to the very egalitarian and accepting Park Slope Jewish Center—the one with the female rabbi!—Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church are spending shabbos in the borough of Kings!
