Day 29: Newbie (AKA "Fresh Off The Mail Truck")
Just got this in the mail and had issues submitting it to Discogs. Seemed I had 2 different opened browsers in the sub edit that was causing some caching issues. Got that sorted, but it took way too many edits.
Keith Emerson And Goblin – The Church
Death Waltz Recording Company - DW138, 1989/2019
Repress of 2015 Italian release
Pressed at Record Industry

If no one else has volunteered yet (and if y’all don’t mind me doing the day-to-day reveal method that we used to do sometimes), then I could take a shot at it.

Day 27: back in the day part 2
Huey lewis and the news ~ sports
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Day 28: food, beer and music with good people
Nujabes ~ Metaphorical Music
A nice display of jazz and hip hop to get a buzz to and eat some food with. We would probably end up talking about all the people Nujabes helped inspire, his legacy, and the artists who are keeping his spirit and memory alive.

Day 29 - Newbie
The Messthetics - S/T
This just showed up Friday, so it's my newest record and also a band that is completely new to me. A friend (with taste almost as impeccable as @Teeeee ) texted me a link to an article about them Wednesday morning. I watched their Tiny Desk then ordered the record. It's the bass player and drummer from Fugazi (Joe Lally and Brendan Canty) and a guitar player named Anthony Pirog who has a kind of Fripp thing going on. I am digging this on first listen...

Brian Eno/David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
This record just arrived in the mail, sent to me by the extremely generous @LeeVing. We were talking about Eno in one of these threads, and I mentioned how I’d never found a copy of this with the OG tracklist (with Qu’Ran). He reached out to me and sent me a duplicate he had as a PIF. I’m super happy to have a copy of this now!
This is a fantastic community, and I’m happy to be part of it.

Day 30 - Pride
Wendy Carlos - Switched-On Bach
Wendy was a pioneer both as a trans woman and as one of the first artists to record with a Moog synth. This album from 1968 (with her still recording as Walter Carlos) went platinum and was the first exposure to synth music for many listeners.
Thanks @ranbalam for putting this together!

Glad it got to you. I had been thinking that it doesn't do me any good keeping multiple copies of records...especially when others have a hard time acquiring them.
I do like the idea of giving out records that people want / have been looking for rather than me posting what I have available as is what the PIF thread seems to be.
