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!

This is one of the first jazz records I ever owned, and purchased it only because I had read that the hirn section on Radiohead's "National Anthem" was inspired by Mingus. At the moment I couldn't understand what was going on in this record, and cement in me the belief that most jazz was free-for-all noise. Years later I've come to appreciate it and understand it much more, being particularly mesmerized by the huge sound Mingus managed to pull out of a very small band.
