What's Spinning

#1937-1946

Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Ann Peebles - Straight From The Heart
Miles Davis - Miles in Berlin
Maisha - Open The Gates
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Hedvig Mollestad Trio - Ding Dong, You're Dead
Big Star - The Best Of
Le Super Biton National de Segou
Mister Okoi Seka Athanase
Prince - Batman

10 slices of pure 🔥. I love Wayne Shorter in Miles Davis' and Art Blakey's bands but somehow his solo stuff never clicked for me until this. Ann Peebles is sooo good. Seeing Hedvig Mollestad on Sunday and can't wait. And the Big Star sounds wonderful at 45rpm.

That's one a hell of a line-up, thanks for tagging! Funnily enough, I have the UK Esquire pressing of this album but in the wrong sleeve, it was put in a Boss Tenors sleeve which is actually a different session with Sonny Stitt.

Doug Watkins is someone that I never really knew much about until I actually started looking at home many albums I have that he appears one. It's so so many from Lee Morgan (Introducing Lee Morgan, Candy), to Donald Byrd (Chant, Byrd Blows On Beacon Hill, Parisian Thoroughfare, Byrd In Paris), to Sonny Rollins (Saxophone Colossus), to Tina Brooks (Minor Move). Really an impressive musician.

While cooking I was streaming some Beck but once I had everything going and it was just general cleaning and setup, I was able to put some wax on, so I put on something I came across while going through the stacks for PIFsgiving candidates, Hercules and Love Affair's "Feast of the Broken Heart" which has one of the funniest album covers ever:

If you like your electropop super crispy and immaculately composed and mastered, you can't go wrong with this album. Every track is an homage to the different facets and genres of electronic dance music. Their collab with John Grant is heart-wrenching:


And this one's got heavy Depeche Mode or Marc Almond vibes:
