I had to take my dog to the groomer today to get his nails trimmed. These little guys were looking under the front counter to see what was going on.

Another little pooch is sticking his snout under a barrier to see what's happening.

Scott Walker - "Scott 3" (1969)

I confess: I don't know that I like Scott Walker's music. I'm new to it, but I haven't taken to the arrangements, or the vocals. It's interesting, yet very schmaltzy.

Verve - "A Storm In Heaven" (1993)

This record falls into that weird category for me, of records I was obsessed with when they were released, but then immediately lost all interest in the band for all subsequent releases (apart from that b-sides e.p. from the same year).

It's still sounds great. Dreamy psych prog shoegaze (?). Hard to classify. Terrific guitar on this.

Joyce - "Passarinho Urbano" (1976)

This is a personal holy grail, a record I've wanted for a while, from (perhaps) my favorite Brazilian musician. A lovely reissue of an impossibly hard to find lp.

The Horace Silver Quintet - "The Tokyo Blues" (1962)

I found this original mono lp at a thrift store yesterday - and at a place that never has decent records. It's in shockingly nice condition.

Alvin Curran - "Drumming Up Trouble"

Sort like Alvin Curran meets Carl Stone.

David Oistrakh and Lev Oborine - Beethoven Piano-Violin Sonatas (1962)

Lucked out at the thrift store today and found this complete set of Le Chant du Monde recordings of Beethoven piano & violin concertos in pristine shape.

Eno - "Another Green World" (1975)

It's always an experience when "The Big Ship" comes on.

I found an old Nakamichi BX-2 cassette deck at the thrift store today. It wasn't cheap, but I went ahead and got it. I've always wanted a Nakamichi, and this one is in excellent shape. I believe the BX-2 was a sort of budget model of theirs. Sounds great!
