What's Spinning

Murs & 9th Wonder - Brighter Daze
Finally getting a chance to spin my RSD pick-ups. 9th is one of my favorite producers. I always seem to underrate Murs and almost never check out his albums when they first come out, but he almost always delivers.

Gene Clark - No Other

[Poly-Rythmo]

W H Lung - Incidental Music

Rather embarrassingly I played this for about 10 mins and thought it didn't sound a bit underwhelming compared with the little bit I'd streamed beforehand. Then I twigged that maybe it needed to be played at 45rpm and lo and behold, problem solved.

This now sounds really fabulous! Better than I was expected. Such a great turnaround. Thanks to @ByersVinyl again for both the N&G pick and so generously sending this over to me. This is going to get a lot of spins, at the right speed!

PS Happy to pass on the download code to anybody who wants it - just DM me.

Man, I think I need to dive into them more. Also, this is one of the most beautiful variants I have ever seen. I'm a huge, huge fan of Mexican / Latin / Mariachi music and grew up going to Mexico 4-8x a year since it is only a trek down the road. Thanks for the post!

Dive in! They've only got 3 studio albums so getting into El Bronx is pretty easy. Beyond that there's the Dead Trax comp with demos and b-sides and the killer Live Cuts album (that I think is probably their best material, but I was at the show so I am biased haha).

Also check Pounded By The Surf, Joby Ford's surf rock + country instrumental side project

The Bud Powell Trio – Bud Powell Trio (Royal Roost/Vogue, 1952 First UK Mono 10” Pressing)

After spinning some solo Monk earlier for the Challenge Thread, I decided to continue the piano theme with this one from Bud Powell. It would have actually been Powell's 96th birthday on Sunday, so its quite a relevant choice.

Sonny Rollins - Freedom Suite (Riverside, 2020 VMP Classics Pressing)

Such a great pressing of a great record! Fantastic pick from VMP.

 

[Selaws]

Vince Guaraldi - Peanuts Portraits - The Classic Character Themes (Fantasy, 2020 VMP Exclusive Coloured Pressing)

A fantastically fun album! Happy with the pressing as well, flat with a great sound!

Gang of Youths - MTV Unplugged Live in Melbourne

Getting ready for the Billie ROTM from VMP.

Back from an afternoon at the cabin, getting the boat on land for the winter. Draining to say the least, I’m not really a boat man (my son is!)...

The new Bill C. is a very nice spin after such a day. Not his best by a mile, it’s more about moods than tunes this time around, but that’s fine as a Bill C. album is better than most other stuff anyway!

Bill Callahan - Gold Record (Drag City, 2020)

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Lee Fields - Let’s Get a Groove On

 

[The Denmarkian Wonder]

 

[Selaws]

Joe Henderson - The State Of The Tenor (Live From At The Village Vanguard Volume 1)

Man these Tone Poets are something else. I love a live jazz session and this one sounds glorious. What a killer line-up as well, Ron Carter's bass notes are so crisp. Perfect!
