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!

Like I said, its really hard to pick a favorite among this band's catalogue, but this one is special to me, as it was the one that really hooked me on KGATLW
 
My favorite record of 2020 so far.

Who'd expect Dave Alvin of The Blasters and Victor Krummenacher of Camper Van Beethoven to spearhead a beautiful, trippy, psych record with interpretations of everyone from Alice Coltrane to Paul Butterfield to Roky Erickson? Not I.

Highly recommended.

The Third Mind - S/T

My collection #85

Daniel Merriweather - Love & War

I don't really listen to the charts or much pop so I thought this was a bit of a discovery when I found Merriweather on the recent Plug Seven compilation of Melbourne singers / groups "Seven Wonders". But it turns out he made this album with Mark Ronson, Adele sings on one track, and it reached #2 in UK charts. Whatever, I really like this.

So I'm really digging the new Tame Impala. Was apprehensive during the lead up to the release, but the songs need to be heard together. This is another really solid album. Personally, I love that they're (he's) continuing to evolve their sound and are not caught in the same retread. A bit unfortunate that "Patience" is not on the LP. That was my favorite release during the lead-up.

I had pre-ordered the super-fancy version so I'm glad it worked out.

Also, these are among the most glorious pieces of wax I own. So shiny.
