This week's DG Monologue is an extended Christmas special of sorts. I read two listener confessions, one about the London Jazz Collector website, the other about negotiating record prices online and in person. I also talk about having a hard time taking a joke, the social challenges that come along with high-functioning autism, one-sided verbosity, feelings of embarrassment and guilt centered around friends getting real with me, wondering if I'm autistic or just an asshole, and more on feeling shame and questioning my standing with other collectors due to my obsession with Blue Note.
