Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[dhodo]

I repeat: BOW TO MEEEEEE!!

The rule really should be, the first person to guess it right gets theirs for free

That is the (unofficial?) rule in the N&G guess threads!

Maybe I should play the game...

Not sure it is official but it seems to be the very generous trend!

So do we know all the tracks now? I guess I need to give ufo a real listen now.

Yeah,
Jim Sullivan - U.F.O.
The Roots - How I Got Over
Art Blakey & TJM - The Freedom Rider

 

[gafacaode]

Well, I've streamed UFO a couple of times and I'm hoping for a good swaption. It's not a bad record, it's an OK album that would probably never spin.
The only thing that keeps me with VMP is the classics track.

Yeah,
Jim Sullivan - U.F.O.
The Roots - How I Got Over
Art Blakey & TJM - The Freedom Rider

Thank you! Looks like I’ve got some listening to do.

I thought I was a swap at first, but the wrecking crew pulled me in on second listen. I really dig everything going on in "Rosey". Yeah I can see myself playing this occasionally.

Some interesting info and comments on the album at Waxidermy.

Jim Sullivan: U.F.O. – Waxidermy

 

[Renée]

Alright. I'm definitely in for Jim Sullivan. I think the other tracks will be swapped for Daydream and Lil Kim. We'll see exactly what my options are on Tuesday.

 

[Marco Michaels]

Ok so pumped for this Jim Sullivan. One of my absolute favorites, Jessie woods covers the title track from this record on his latest, autoflower.

They’re beyond a joke at this point. Is that the 4th crate digger essentials this year? All they’re short of is neck beards, overpriced coffee made in a secondary school science kit and a penny farthing...

 

[bother]

Not Essential. NEXT!

I had to google what a penny farthing was, is that actually a thing that popular with the hip kids now ?

I don’t think so, I was more exaggerating to make a point. That said if you’re dumb enough to ride a single speed bike to be cool who knows what’s next...

Do we know the official announcement date yet?

Counterpoint - except for Phoenix (closest 2018 analog - Beach House, even though I love that album), this has been a great year for their AOTM selections; best in a few years so far. There's been no questionable dreck like Queen, Arctic Monkeys, or Moby. I'm always going to reward curation that exposes me to something new over retreads.

And I'll have you know my beard is nicely trimmed, and... well, ok, I live in Seattle and get "fancy" even though I make my coffee at home
