What's Spinning

I have not had an easy time reconciling the loss of Kim Shattuck. For the last two weeks, I have pulled these records out and then told myself “you’re not ready for this.” The more I have read about her in articles, and posts from people I know that were personal friends of hers… It’s just too fucking sad.

Then this morning I read an article about exactly how their final album was created and I am not sure when I have ever felt more inspired.

It doesn’t feel good to say goodbye… But it feels amazing to have the house to myself for a few hours to play these at full volume.

Rest In Power.

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

I spin most of my records in the morning while having breakfast. When I played this today, my girlfriend said: "Why would someone want to listen to this in the morning?" you know? She's right, and that's one of the main reasons I don't spin this album very often.

An appropriate pick for #69.
