Received my signed copy of _Medical Grade Music_ by Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi.
Last week I joined a Rough Trade hosted Zoom meeting with Kavus and Steve where they read excerpts from and discussed the book and some of the stories from and behind it. They were both very enthusiastic!
In addition to reading the book I’m particularly looking forward to investigating music I haven’t heard before. In the Appendices there are several musical lists, including recommendations for an album a week for a year from both authors. I’m not familiar with many of them (although more of Kavus’ than Steve’s).

Ryley Walker: 'Going two days sober was impossible since I was a kid' 🔗 🎵
> … the first sound you hear on _Course in Fable_ is exalting major chords, before burrowing into fiddly prog shifts in time signatures.
