SAM PREKOP
Open Close
2025 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
Coke Bottle Green vinyl

I just woke up from a 3 hour afternoon nap.
My head feels heavy as fuck, I’m cold, & my entire body aches.

Definitely not feeling great, so I’m going with something warm and mellow to set a comfortable environment.

This is one of the more #electronic leaning Sam records; much different than his guitar based, jazzy sounding #indie rock.

Textured modular #synth , really spacious & atmospheric sounding.
It’s a record that was born out of Prekop preparing for live shows that he did with New Age artist Laraaji.

Here, Prekop develops repetitive structured pattern, & then slowly & gradually starts to introduce glitches in his system.

Changes in synth voice or timbre here, unexpected noises & rhythms there, it’s always morphing & changing, but in the subtlest of ways.

Play it again, Sam.

TREAT HER RIGHT
Treat Her Right
1988 Canada pressing

Score!
A pristine replacement copy for my worn copy!
Before Mark Sandman and Billy Conway met up with Dana Colley & gifted the world the incredible music of Morphine, there was Treat Her Right.

THR was more of a rootsy, blues and soulful kind of music than what came later with Morphine. The latter concentrated on groove and hypnotic and trance-like atmosphere, whereas these songs are shorter, punchier, and more traditional sounding.
Less sparse and sophisticated than Morphine, but no less effective or enjoyable.

I had the great pleasure of having lunch with Mark Sandman shortly before he died.
Upstairs at Charlie’s Kitchen in Harvard Square while on my lunch break in late ‘98.
Just he and I at the bar, & he couldn’t have been kinder or more gentlemanly.
The world lost another great artist (& person) far too young.

MARVIN GAYE
What's Going On
1974 Canada reissue

A perfect record for a Sunday morning.

I have no life stories to assign to this.
No particular memorable moments that I associate with hearing it.

All I know is that ever since I first heard this album front to back when I was 15, it’s just always made me feel GREAT.

TRULY soulful.

I hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday.

🦧

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Hard Philippines: A Collection Of 70s Pinoy Hard Rock, Fuzzed Out Rockers, Hard Glam And Face Melting Guitar Madness !!!
2026 Spain pressing

An absolutely KILLER compilation that I took a blind gamble on this morning, and I couldn’t be happier that I did.

This is definitely going to be spun at least a few more times before I take it off my turntable.

This is one of the most effective sell jobs just based on the cover and album title that I’ve had in a long while.

How could I read that cover/title and not be all in?
This sounds exactly like what it says.

I was unfamiliar with every artist and song on here, and now, I just want MORE of this shit.

What a find.
Truly excellent and gnarly shit.

VERUCA SALT
American Thighs
2024 U.S. reissue

741 am Saturday.
The neighbors are about to get a rude awakening.

This is one of the great albums of the #90s , and for me, very underrated.

I think the majority of people my age who lived though that decade’s music in real time certainly remembers “Seether”, as they should, cuz that’s a great song.

However, American Thighs is full of them. Both Nina Gordon and Louise Post are excellent songwriters, and listening to this album front to back, the contrast of alternating songs from each songwriter, makes for a killer, powerful album.

Heavy, noisy, catchy, great harmonies… it’s a fantastic record, and far more than just one hit song.

“This Item Is Stolen If Taken Off The Premises Of CKPG”

Ooops.
🤷‍♂️

I’d imagine that this crime would be looked at in the same way that cutting off that tag on the mattress is.

I should be expecting the cavalry to show up at my door any minute now.

FRANK SINATRA
In The Wee Small Hours
2025 Worldwide MONO reissue
Blue Note Tone Poet Series

Friday night with Old Blue Eyes.

These Tone Poet series albums from Blue Note sound otherworldly. I have a few of the Chet Baker ones, and they’re great too.

When I saw this today, and saw that it was a Mono cut by Kevin Gray, I needed no further convincing.

I wish everybody put as much care and detail into the sound of their reissues like these.
Just magnificent sounding.

Not sure they’d bother giving this same treatment to September Of My Years, but it would certainly make me beyond ecstatic.

DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER
Just Family
1978 U.S. pressing

I’m not sure when it was I first heard Dee Dee Bridgewater or where or when I bought this wonderful record, but I’ve had it a long time, and I absolutely adore it.

Produced by Stanley Clarke, Just Family is a jazzy, funky soul record.

There is a stunning lineup of musicians here to support Dee Dee’s beautiful voice, including George Duke, Chick Corea, Ray Gomez, and Alphonso Johnson just to name a few.

Just a great, classy fusion of multiple genres here, are held down by the incredible talent that is Dee Dee Bridgewater.

Also, for my money, this is straight up one of the SEXIEST album covers ever.

MORT GARSON
Electronic Hair Pieces
Year Unknown Canada reissue

Yes! Finally!

This was the only Mort record I was missing, & I finally completed my Mort library this morning by finding this MINT copy downtown.

I am a huge fan of Mort Garson, as some of you may have noticed over the last 2 years.

This goes not just for his signature most famous album Plantasia, but everything.
His film and tv work over the years was equally as impressive, & he was never afraid to try something odd or interesting.

This is where Hair Pieces comes in.

I’d say that, no, it’s not his best album, but there’s enough cool shit on here to make it worth owning. Here, Mort attempts space-age Moog-ified versions of songs from the hit musical Hair.

Music I’m not a fan of to begin with, but Mort makes it more interesting for me.
It’s just the sound of Mort, baby.

World’s Oldest Person Celebrates 117 Years of a ‘Nonconfrontational’ Approach to Life

THE CRAMPS
Psychedelic Jungle
2025 Europe reissue

Needed a little musical high voltage to get me out of bed and moving today, and The Cramps will have no problem doing so.

My love for this album goes back to when I was a punk kid, getting stoned and skating down at 8-Ball Skate park.

Both this and Songs The Lord Taught Us were always in heavy rotation, along with the rest of our cherished musical fare.

“Goo Goo Muck” and “Primitive” are perfect tunes.
They all are, really.

Slashing guitars, menacing and sleazy, warped and psychedelic.

Yes, and please.
🙏

Syracuse University Seeks to Prevent Campus Rape Victim From Obtaining Police Records
---

The university, whose 1980s rape crisis figured prominently in a ProPublica article, committed to support survivors at “every step of the process.” Now it’s in court to stop police from sharing many records with a student who was assaulted in 1987.

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!
F♯ A♯ ∞
2018 Canada Remastered reissue

Oh man.
If only EVERY reissue was handled with the care and attention to detail like this is.

Every aspect of this is identical to the original, hand-made copies that came out in ‘97.

Even manilla envelope of items is complete, down to the flattened penny.

And the remaster is INCREDIBLE sounding.

I bought this, Lift Your Skinny Fists, and Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada on CD in my early 20’s, all at the same time.

I was heavily in the throes of my Mogwai obsession, and really dove into exploring bands that were part of that “#postrock “ label. If it was super cinematic, and dynamic, I was all in.

F♯ A♯ ∞ was the first of the three that I listened to, and for the next several weeks, those three CDs were pretty much all I listened to.
My subway rides to work from Astoria to Times Square were epic.

TV ON THE RADIO
Return To Cookie Mountain
2023 UK, EUROPE & US reissue

Some apple pancakes 🥞 and TV On The Radio for breakfast.

It was a magical thing experiencing this band in real time as they came up in the early 2000’s, and it didn’t take long for everyone in NY to understand that these dudes were THE SHIT.

Even David Bowie thought so.
So much that he agreed to appear on this absolute masterpiece (see: “Province”). He is here strictly as a fan, and nothing more.

This whole record is outstanding, but it is centred around one of the gnsrliest, most badass signature rock songs of the past 20 years in “Wolf Like Me”, a savage, visceral experience that has never lost a bit of its edge, even 2 decades later.

Those shows I saw were astonishing.

I remember hearing about Gerard Smith dying of lung cancer.
Not a good day.

Incredible band that means a lot to me.

🚀✨ Oh joy, another #AWS "innovation" that feels like it was designed by a committee of over-caffeinated, sleep-deprived programmers who think UNIX is still the new hotness. 🔧📂 Let’s all pretend we’re excited to edit #DNS #records like it’s 1983 while Amazon convinces us this is somehow groundbreaking. 🙄💾

DINOSAUR JR.
There Near
2026 U.S. pressing
Translucent Pink vinyl

And day you get a new Dino record is a GREAT day, and as always, one of the greatest bands of all time have not disappointed.

I just don’t understand how they keep doing it.
Since reuniting 20 years ago, they have continued to put out STELLAR records that are 100% on par with the pre ious records, regardless of which lineup you’re talking about.

This record sounds savage.
But then again, what else would you expect?

J MASCIS belongs on the Mount Rushmore of guitar players.
I don’t think you can even argue that at this point.

PROTECT DINOSAUR JR. AT ALL COSTS.
