I have never run a marathon. I doubt I ever will. But I have seen plenty on the Olympics. You have too, I suspect. So you’re familiar with those late-race shots of haggard runners as they grimly plod along the last mile, staring desperately at the finish line and praying they can keep it together long enough to stumble across before they collapse into a heap. That’s me at this time of year — the end is in sight, but I’m not quite there yet. First, I have to run a few more laps — including this gauntlet of 400-plus new LPs, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues, cassettes and steaming releases on the road. Cheer me on:
