Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Damn, I'm proud of myself this morning for passing on Herbie's Sextant for next month. Super super cool album, but if i'm being honest with my self I'm just never going to spin this. Which sparks a question for the thread here:

When you're listening to your records, are you usually sitting down and doing nothing but listening to the record, or is listening to records typically accompanying things you're doing around the house/apt?

Are you usually very intentional about listening to your records or are they typically used for building atmosphere in your home?

Music playing 90% of the time around here, so intentionally varies by number of other bodies around or the size of my to-do list. Some things I'll save for more specific times when I can give it more focus, or play it louder, or the wife isn't around etc. My ADHD usually finds me either reading on the couch or futzing on my laptop when I'm doing a "closer" listen. It's seldom that I get much opportunity to shut all else out and just disappear fully into an album - but a really close listen will see me reading liners and booklets, or wikis, interviews and possibly reviews (I generally don't read reviews on anything contemporary until I've listened to something at least half a dozen times - less for "classics")

I don't love them either, but I don't think I've ever seen them get much hate in here.

I’ve seen loads of glowing reviews of Pallas copies of Rumours and just assumed when they all flood in that it’s ’Pass the Glue Day’

I just find them totally, totally tedious. Ala Clapton and the already mentioned Eagles. Proper Geography Teacher music

(Apart from Tusk which is so good I’m assuming they made it by accident)

Why is “Geography teacher music” SO accurate 🤣

and part of what made that album interesting was mostly because Buckingham was heavily inspired by post punk, other than that all the songs could have fit on an album like tango in the night no problem

The idea of Buckingham bringing in a copy of PiL 2nd Edition or Gang of Four Entertainment to the studio to share with rest of Cocaine Mac breaks my brain.

“Producer Ken Caillat commented on Buckingham's obsessive nature in the studio: "He was a maniac. The first day, I set the studio up as usual. Then he said, 'Turn every knob 180 degrees from where it is now and see what happens.' He'd tape microphones to the studio floor and get into a sort of push-up position to sing. Early on, he came in and he'd freaked out in the shower and cut off all his hair with nail scissors. He was stressed."”
