  1. Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan Sings George Gershwin, 1958 on Mercury

    Fantastic collection of Sarah Vaughan doing Gershwin standards from the twenties and thirties, supported by Hal Mooney & His Orchestra.

    My copy—via a private sale—is a 2xLP gatefold reissue in mono by Verve/UMe, which reproduces the old Mercury labels.

  2. Verve is most real when it is put to use in the destruction of oneself. This is almost impossible to perceive when one is in the moments of its happening, and only visible from the outside if one pays close attention not only to the specific contents of the failure transpiring in front of one, but even more to its momentum, its incredible vitality.

  3. I've been quiet for the last few weeks as I've been working on the first stage of getting my vinyl organized.

    I acquired my vinyl collection in many countries, cities and stages of my life over the last 50-years. It's been in the same house for the last 6-years but in different rooms and places.

    Stage-1 of the re-org now done. I've listed over 500 records for sale on discogs, to be honest most are house music 12" singles. There are about 60 left to list, but they came from a box in a storage basement in a very old building and need to be test played before listing.

    Next up is to re-organize my main storage shelves, especially all my #ctirecords #kudu #verve #impulse and other treasured pressings.

    If you know anyone who likes #housemusic or is a #housemusiclovers including hard-house and trance mostly from the 2000's and also many that are the only copies that are for sale in the #USA go here > discogs.com/seller/4MC/profile

    I love Phosphorescent. Matthew Houck is one of my favorite songwriters and his voice never fails to break my heart. But there's something decidedly weird about hearing him referenc...

    From Revelator, out April 5 on Verve.

    I was a pretty good dad when my son was a newborn. I had been warned that new parents don't get any sleep for that first year but that wasn't my experience at all. We had a system. He slept in a little bassinet in our bedroom and when ...
