What's Spinning

[batkins]

Got a pretty good deal on Ebay for my first Tragically Hip on vinyl. That lead to buying 4 more on Music Vaultz. Sure am going to miss them.

Played this, only to find out as it spun, it was the 35th anniversary.

Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019)

Beautiful new baby blue press, FYE exclusive /1500. Didn't care much for the yellow press (which I PIFed today), so I bought this. Same (surprisingly) fantastic sound quality as other presses! The blue is very aesthetically pleasing, I must say.

The National - High Violet



Hot take of sorts...this is definitely a top 3 National album for me, and depending in my mood it's my favorite.

Paramore - Riot! (2007, reissue 2019)

Very happy that Urban Outfitters (ew) finally made the long needed orange press of this, and a nice press it is!

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

The Stooges and Bad Brains build a band on an assembly line in Detroit...

DEATH - N.E.W.

We Are The Fallen - Tear The World Down (2010)

Shortlived gothic metal supergroup former by 3 outcasted Evanescence members, an American Idol runner up, and a session bassist. This album is sorta a mixed bag, but definitely has some solid tracks. It's a true continuation of Evanescence's 2003 record Fallen, which We Are The Fallen founder and guitarist Ben Moody crafted prior to leaving/being forced to leave Evanescence in late 2003.

Happy birthday Mick Jones.

Spun side one of my fresh grab.
While the band is proficient, I’m not engaged by them yet.



I moved on to Nina Simone Colpix singles, a much nicer spin before bed.

Three Days Grace - Three Days Grace (2003, reissue 2016)

Debut album from one of my favorite post-grunge bands. Includes hits such as I Hate Everything About You and Just Like You. FYE exclusive on metallic silver vinyl. Easily my favorite album from the band!

Takako Mamiya - Love Trip

It’s not uncommon in 80s Japanese pop (or as we all currently know it, city pop) for artists to release an album and disappear into obscurity, but I wish Takako Mamiya had more in her to give. If you’re familiar with city pop but haven’t delved into this one, it’s a smooth, straightfoward album that’s uncompromisingly mellow and groovy. Probably the closest Japan came to quiet storm during this period. Bought this last year but HMV.co.jp just released a new repressed batch!
