"I absolutely adore and idolize women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I've met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life." - Robert Plant, born this day in 1948.

I've given away 108 free records in two years and I'm too stupid to stop now. Get in on this lunacy before I wise up...

Thread 'Vinyl Me, D: A Free Record Club - Year 3 Official Thread - 36 Winners - Like The First Post, You're In For 2025 - 123 Free Records Given Away So Far'

Jul 29, 2024

In September, year two of Vinyl Me, D will come to a close. I can't believe this thing has been percolating for 24 months.

I've had a blast giving away 108 records and I hope all the recipients have enjoyed it half as much as I have.

It's too late to stop now - I'm gonna go for the triple dog dare. Or the Three-Headed Dog if you're a Roky Erickson fan.

I think y'all enjoyed the 3 new winners every month / win once in a year format so that will remain in place - spreads more love and joy that way.

It's very simple to take part in this whole fiasco - simply like this post....

Michael Bloomfield, born this day in 1963 - “I was performing with Paul Butterfield and I was the hot-shot guitarist on the block, I thought I was it. I'd never heard of Hendrix...I went across the street and saw him. Hendrix knew who I was, and that day, in front of my eyes, he burned me to death. H-bombs were going off; guided missiles were flying. I can't tell you the sounds he was getting out of his instrument...

"Nico was gothic, but she was Mary Shelley gothic to everyone else's Hammer horror film gothic. They both did Frankenstein, but Nico's was real." - Peter Murphy, born this day in 1957.

"Paint pictures with sound. Find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down. You'll be able to express any emotion on the guitar." - Les Paul, born this day in 1915

"When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is." - Prince Rogers Nelson, born this day in 1958.

"It's not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been. You can't afford to think about what might have been. You just be aware of what is." - Noel Gallagher, born this day in 1967.

"I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer. One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music." - Robert Moog, born this day in 1934.
