What's Spinning

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!

#99: Eddie Gale - Ghetto Music

Im really glad VMP introduced me to this record, as I would have never found it on my own. It is quite an unusual record for Blue Note, a fact that made it hard for me to enjoy it at first, but once I got after that prejudice, I loved it for how original and unique it is.

Portishead - Rosseland NYC Live

God, how amazing is Beth Gibbons' voice on this. (Objections from girlfriend and visiting Mum mean this has taken me three evenings to get through...)

I am so sorry to hear that.
A few years ago during the blizzard I was at my parents house for a few days and I made my parents watch this DVD. My dad asked to borrow it and I never got it back. So when he was at my place recently and asked if I had any Portishead records, you can understand why I got a little nervous.

Meg & Dia - December, Darling (2019)

Earlier this year, one of my favorite indie rock bands of the past reemerged and released their first new music in 7 years. Now, they're back with their second album this year in the form of a lovely Christmas record! White with gold splatter press, plays at 45RPM. So glad this band is back and releasing a bunch of new music!
