    Biosphere - The Hilvarenbeek Recordings (remastered LP)

    even though this album is based on field recordings from a dutch farm, it sounds delightfully mysterious. :vinyl: 🐮

    This album was my first exposure to Cake. I would ride my bike a few blocks away to hang out at my friend Jack’s house, and he had much more modern taste in music than I did (I grew up with classic rock and jazz based on my parents’ listening habits and my trumpet lessons - both of which I still love more than ever despite not having touched my trumpet in almost 20 years). His house was also the first place I ever heard things like Third Eye Blind or even G Love and Special Sauce. Or the then “scandalous” (to my sheltered ass) soundtrack to Office Space.

    Jack and I grew apart over the years, he went to an Ivy League school, moved to New York, and worked on Wall Street. I went to a state school, partied quite a bit, and work a mid level job in the financial industry. We’re both happily married. He has a kid, I don’t (and won’t, for various reasons). He got tired of the rat race and moved back to NC. From everything he’s told me about his experience, I’m not jealous at all. I’m glad we both are happy.

    But I say all that to say this…this album, more than any other, brings me mentally immediately back to parking my bicycle in his gravel driveway, dropping the kickstand, walking up onto his parents’ wrap around porch, and hanging out. Before responsibility, before politics mattered (to me), before the world had started to wear me down in the way it does to all of us once we reach adulthood. It’s one of a handful of songs or albums that can mentally transport me so quickly and so vividly.

    Thanks for attending my Ted Talk, I guess.

    Slumming it downstairs with the Sound Burger after a few pool beers with the wife. What a wonderful day it is/has been.

  5. This band is everywhere right now, and I agree with many that they are totally overhyped at this moment.

    But on a “do you like listening to them” level, well, I definitely do. So when I saw the not-exorbitantly-priced represses were available for preorder from a local record store, I was happy to do so. These will go in this weekend’s cleaning pile and listened to soon!

  7. Got this Giant Sand record from Discogs (scratching a nostalgic itch from the 90s) for a good price. The vinyl is VG+ but the cover…

    Anyway, this is a trick for getting off price stickers worked a treat.

    The b-side of the play log that had been taped to the front is some DJ’s typed up playlist. I’d listen to that show

  9. #NowSpinning Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs' (feat. Henry Grimes & Jack DeJohnette) by McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson

    I’d be lying if I said this was the best recording I’ve ever heard…but the music is great. Currently on the 4th, and last, side.

  10. #NowSpinning No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin by Meshell Ndegeocello

    I didn’t really have expectations when I threw this into my last #BlueNote order, but it seemed interesting when I read about it. What a wonderful surprise this has been so far.

  11. Was pretty surprised when this popped up on Discogs for less the $20. Absolutely one my favorite “Who?” bands. German band who put out a couple of records on Matador around the turn of the century. Instrumental post rock. I once described it as electronic music played by a rock combo. Evolving grooves. A really difficult band to web search.

  13. now spinning:
    Pink Floyd - Live From the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975 (2x CD)

    the first official release of the legendary bootleg on CD. I bought a couple of factory sealed audio tapes as well to bring back the authentic bootleg sound. 🎵 :vinyl:

  15. @TheVinylApe wasn’t lying…this is an amazing record. On my second listen already.

    #CharlieMingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1965)

  16. Didn’t place in pub trivia, so will be consoling myself with some #HerbieHancock and a wee glass of Black Label.

    Just got this in from the #BlueNote spring sale….

    I love all the Herbie albums I have, this is no exception. And it was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder so it already has a leg up.

    Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner (1970) (Tone Poet Series)

  17. This 1980 Lou Reed collection included nine Velvet Underground songs, greatly expanding my VU cuts, giving me a more solid foundation in both VU and Lou.

  18. New at VinylDistractions: Lou Reed – Berlin vinyldistractions.com/lou-reed

    A record I never gave a lot of listens to, even though it very much fit my sensibilities then and now. It's better and more listenable than I remembered it, and falls right into my Marc Almond/Kurt Weill fascination.

  19. This sounds great. The music itself, the drums, the instrumentation that somehow almost sounds like a big band despite being a quintet…apparently there are other instruments added in although the jacket doesn’t list instrumentation. I know Nat Adderley is on cornet.

    So glad I took a chance on this.

    #CannonballAdderley - Accent on Africa (1967)

  20. Another fun novelty pressing arrived this week. This is the liquid-filled and splatter version of Gorillaz’s new album ‘The Mountain’.

    Played this a few times now. Their best in fifteen years or so, for sure. An album about death, but not necessarily a melancholy album. Really enjoying the tone and texture of it so far.

  21. So you bought a turntable.

    Before you upgrade cartridges or chase rare pressings, start with the basics: a good brush, the right slipmat, proper cleaning, and a plan for your shelves.

    Vinyl rewards intention.

    Here’s our beginner guide to doing it right:

  22. I don’t really generally go out of my way to chase down first pressings…but I came across this today and it was in perfect shape (visually at least). Ran it through the cleaner, and so far it sounds amazing.

  23. Goodwills (thrift stores) around here sometimes bag up & sell groups of older 45s (that you can only see either side of because of the sealed bags). I took a chance on one because it had this Wings 45 I could see on the outside, and I SCORED with this Chairmen of the Board single. Fuckin LOVE 'Give Me Just a Little More Time'. One of my favorite songs. 🔥
