What's Spinning

Well @Joe Mac I've got an idea what your #1 is gonna be but you're really building up the tension here.

haha! Not intentionally! Half way through Ghosteen my turntable started playing up! It took me about half an hour to take it apart refresh the bearing oil, let the splatter settle back in place and get spinning again. By the time the album ended it was after midnight and Too late to spin anything else on a school night lol!
 
Levitation Orchestra - Inexpressible Infinity

My top 20 is getting harder to listen to in the day as it's all jazz and basically all modern jazz is too noisy for my family! Anyway, they're out at the shops now so spinning this. I don't have much jazz with bigger bands and this has 13 players I think (including harp, violin, cello, flute etc) but it's really nice, spiritual stuff. Even the vocals work for me (as an instrument, not singing lyrics). Astigmatic is becoming one of my favourite albums (see Cykada and EABS still to come plus I'm still waiting on Piotr Damasiewicz)

This reissue from last year sounds noticeably better than the 2016 Plain Recordings version I had. At long last, I can actually enjoy listening to this record on my turntable!

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!
#121: Joe Henderson - In N Out

I have a bunch of Henderson records in my wish list, but thanks to the BN80 reissues I recently crossed this one off that list. The compositions are great, and the interplay displayed by Mccoy Tyner, Elvin Jones and Henderson is simply amazing.
