What's Spinning

Happy birthday Mark Knophler.

This is just a regular old copy I bought off the shelf from The Record Bar in Chapel Hill, NC for $7 in 1981 during my college daze and it still sounds absolutely spectacular.

I've grown very tired of the industry using vinyl popularity to fuck us all with overinflated pricing and inferior quality.

I really stopped listening to The Offspring after Smash so this "greatest hits" has a lot of songs that I just haven't heard. I just didn't like how far they shifted from those first 2 albums. (somewhere along the way in life I picked up a copy of "Ixnay" on CD, but I really don't remember it)

Mitchum Yacoub - Living High in the Brass Empire

@hatfieldpdx gotta groove did their thing. Very nice vinyl mastering too. My copy has a slight pry warp, weight fixed pretty good.

For everyone else:
It is with great pleasure that we announce Mitchum Yacoub’s debut album Living High in the Brass Empire— a showcase in unique stylings of tropical funk, afrobeat, cumbia, and soul; a musical patchwork threaded by a heavy, hypnotic rhythm section and powerfully vibrant horn lines. What sounds like a 12-piece ensemble was actually mostly recorded and performed by Yacoub at his home in San Diego, featuring a few close friends from local groups Sure Fire Soul Ensemble and Boostive. The horn section is comprised of Travis Klein, Bradley Nash, and Wesley Etienne (featuring Todd Simon on “Los Muñequitos"), each with distinguished performances that send the music to higher heights. Nuanced vocalist Divina Jasso lends humanity and introspection throughout the head-nodding soul sounds of “Never Knew”, latin dance anthem “Cumbia Divina”, and the syncopated funk of “Empire”. You’ll hear rhythms from Colombia, folkloric percussion of Cuba, interlocking grooves à la Fela Kuti, 70’s r&b influence, and something in between it all. Drawing many inspirations into a refreshing and unified record, we think you’ll enjoy Living High in the Brass Empire.

Think Antibalas with a slight Latin Flair and dub accents.
