#NowPlaying - if i'd been a first wave pink floyd fan, i'm pretty sure i would've been more into kevin ayers than post-"piper" floyd while waiting for syd to get his act (briefly) together. @vinylrecords@Corry342
Stanley Turrentine and The Three Sounds - "Blue Hour" (1961)
One of the crown jewels of the #BlueNote catalog has been reissued. I love my mono original of this, scratches and all, but this new stereo reissue is terrific. Ideal rainy day music.
Okay, so, like, this is the first #Shellac album I've ever listened to. I honestly didn't know until he died that #SteveAlbini was also actually in bands. I must've heard them before at some point, I just didn't know the connection. Wtf, RIP, tattoo the names of the dead on your hands, etc. etc.
Filling another self-inflicted wound in my record collection from my great record purge of yore. I guess my thinking was it’s not my favorite Minutemen record… anyway. Glad to have it back. #vinyl#vinylCollection#nowPlaying
The #NIN “Lights in the Sky Over North America” tour was in/around my senior year of high school and I ate it up. Everything from the setlists to the production of the live shows, I was hooked during this tour.
Eventually, they released HD multicam footage of the tour for fans to remix and share. It ended up being made into a fan edit of the tour called “This One is On Us” that is over two hours long.
The world would be a better place, if everyone would just listen to Eels.
My love is beautiful it's here for the taking,
it's strong and pure and utterly earth shaking
My love has brought me here to show you it's true,
a wretch like me, you make it through
A complete steal of a collection. 3LPs with the album, Peel sessions and Demos. I don't think the original album was meant to be in this as its not listed anywhere. It was £25 as well.
always sounds to me like so much of 90s West Coast #HipHop tracks its sound and aesthetic to Roy Ayers. e.g., Dr Dre only sampled this track once, for a Detox track, but I can't help suspecting he took much more from it for his sound.
the "my life, my life, my life" tag was true Cali staple, used by Tupac, Ice Cube, Mc Eiht ("my life, my life, my life, with a tech nine").

Inspired by a thing I saw on Reddit earlier today, I’m going to try listening to more complete albums this year. Maybe daily? We’ll see how it shakes out.
