What's Spinning

And I’m onto my last one

We Can’t Dance. Not the way you would like this band to be remembered but a couple of good singles. I hope Phil is in good shape for November’s tour. I don’t have the Way We Walk live albums or Calling All Stations, the album with the guy from Stiltskin. I listened to Calling All Stations recently. Terrible. Still their run from Nursery Cryme to Abacab (maybe including the album preceding and the album after) is seriously under appreciated.

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!

Unpopular opinion: The "Moaning" on this record is way better than Art Blakey's one. That tune was one of my early jazz favorites, and I still think to this day that it is a tremendous performance and arrangement. Oh, and the sidemen on this record are just out of this world.
