July 2019 Vinyl Challenge

I actually had way more 3xLPs to choose from than I realized.

I almost typed the same sentence. I think I have like 10, it was cool to (re)discover that.

My other choice was Nils Frahm's All Melody. I ended up going with Glass, I find this record so hypnotic.

100% agree about Solo Piano! All Melody also would be a fantastic choice, maybe just made my decision a lot easier on what to pick haha.

Day 10 - Piano

The debut solo album from former Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe. Wild Beasts were my favorite band of the past decade. I saw him perform the album front to back solo on piano at an former strip club and it was beautiful. One of my favorite albums of the year so far.

Hayden Thorpe - Diviner

Day 10: Piano
Jack's Mannequin-Everything In Transit

If anything, theres no denying Andrew McMahon is a hell of a piano player

 

[blissfullychaotic]

Day 10: oh those sweet keys
Ryuichi Sakamoto ~ BTTB


I was going to go with Nils Frahm but after spending the day in the jqbx listening to a nice mix of Japanese and Chinese artists I decided to pull out this album and give it a spin

Day 8: I Don’t Like Mondays

My "Mondays" are actually Sunday nights. If I do play anything I usually try to play something that puts me in a good mood (Jazz does not do this, which is why I rarely partake in the Sunday Jazz playing)

I need a new copy of this that isn't as trashed as this Goodwill special.

New Order ‎– Low-life
Qwest Records ‎– 1-25289, 1985

Day 10: Piano
Professor Longhair - New Orleans Piano

 

[LeeVing]

Day 9: Triple

It's been quite a long time since I've gotten this one out. I don't mind live albums, but I like them with as little audience sound as possible. Cheering, clapping and such turns me off - and I'd rather just listen to a studio album because of this.

Yes ‎– Yessongs
Atlantic ‎– SD 3-100, 1973

Day 10 - Piano

Glenn Gould - The Goldberg Variations

The Monk of classical music. Every bit as brilliant.

 

[LeeVing]

Day 10: Piano

Still one of the best releases of last year.

Prince ‎– Piano & A Microphone 1983
NPG Records/Warner Bros. Records ‎– R1 566557, 2018

Day 11: An Oldie But A Goodie

Play the oldest record in your collection!


Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow (1967 Canadian Stereo OG pressing)

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 11: An Oldie But A Goodie

The oldest thing I have is this Little Walter shellac 78 from 1952. It's cool but I can't play it - no 78rpm on the table.



The oldest playable record I have is this 1961 promo copy of Miles Davis - Someday My Prince Weill Come.

9: A triple album

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute

I think this is my only non-live triple album. Really enjoying getting back into this band recently.
