What's Spinning

Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars - Lighthouse At Laguna (Contemporary Records, 1956 first mono pressing)

I cant stress how HARD this album goes, its insane to think it was recorded 63 years ago. Shelly Manne's hands must have been on fire after all this drumming, and the sax solos are insane! Then there's Hampton Hawes' sublime piano playing on the later tracks. God damn this series is killer!

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!

#81: Bob Dylan - Blonde on blonde

When I was 17 yo I found a Dylan biography at a book fair, and decided to buy it even when I wasn't a fan of him. I knew a couple of songs, but they hadn't really blown me, what his music hadn't for me, his life did. That book started a phase where I was obsessed with his persona and his music, and this album, along with Freewheelin was at the top of my list.
