There’s some really cheap copies of this on discogs at the moment for anyone who missed it on the day.

How does this compare to the album VMP released, musically

It's more 'musical' but still very much a free jazz album. I preferred this one, it was definitely a bit easier listening.

I had picked it up on RSD but ended up putting it back before checking out

The Descendants of Mike and Pheobe - A Spirit Speaks (Superfly Reissue)

A funky, soul-jazz album. Really good stuff. A few of the early tracks have what I would describe as operatic singing over the jazzy music which is quite interesting.

The National - I Am Easy To Find (Cherry Tree Exclusive)

Im going in! Managed to avoid reviews and snippets up until now so this is going to be a good uninterrupted hour!



Edit: Damn this is a good album. Need to listen through again but the first playthrough really impressed me. Interesting to see Matt give up some of the vocals which made for a great change. Some fantastic songs here. Playing this again tonight for sure.

Clouds are gone, clear sky, that's more like it!

It think this is a good one for a lazy Saturday afternoon:

My listening room window opens to the backyard, so I'm enjoying this record while sitting in the sun.

Jim Croce - Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits (1974) - I've been wanting some Jim Croce for awhile so I picked this up at Rasputin Music in Berkeley last night for a couple of bucks. This is a posthumous greatest hits compilation released a year after his death in 1973.

Taking editorial style engagement photos in our house today. Needless to say, I had to make sure there were some sentimental albums in the background!

SUBLIME - 40 Oz To Freedom (OG Press)
RHCP - Californication
Gaga/Cooper - Star Is Born Soundtrack

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

im honestly not familiar with african music at all, im just curious about a lot of stuff thats Somalia related and found this while diggin.
i want to grab that Volume 5 by Dur Dur Band that has been reissued as well.
do you have any somali music recommendations ?

What little I've heard I'd recommend the Analog Africa Dur Dur Band compilation over Vol 5 and Ostinato's Sweet as Broken Dates as well. I dig East African music but know much more about the west. Somali music is/was basically cassette only so there's pretty much no original vinyl to collect.

Your backyard pic reminded me of this album. So of course now I have to spin it! Cheers!
