Girl Talk - Feed The Animals

Picked this up recently and I’m kind of obsessed with it. It’s like playing a continuous game of Name That Tune. Personal favorite moments are Jay-Z mixed with Paranoid Android, the Havin’ a Roni drop, and the perfect combination of NIN, MC Hammer, and Kelly Clarkson.

How did this even get pressed? It’s not a bootleg I don’t think.

Here’s another big highlight from the 78 haul I had recently. I was looking in the shelves that were labeled, and I ran across one that perked my interest called “Blue Note 78s”. I was able to pull out 6 Blue Note 78s from the section, and they are all very early releases on the label. This includes probably the earliest 10 inch 78, which is Weary Land Blues from 1939 (there are 12 inch 78s that are earlier, but this is the earliest 10 inch). None of these are the later Bebop 78s and are on the Dixieland/swing end of things, but they are still unimaginably cool to find!

12" 1969 RSO Records. Controversial album cover, so I decided to self censor with a deluxe edition of the CD. Supergroup composed of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech. Standout track, Can't Find My Way Home.

Ever since I was introduced to Janis Joplin via “I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!” I’ve been enthralled by her vocals and have been on the look out for her music in the wild ever since. So I was floored when the album that caught my eye with its artwork by R. Crumb at the Half Price Books near me was none other than the first featuring Joplin herself prior to going solo. Such a cool find!!

I spent way too much money on this, but I’m stoked to finally own it.

And now that I do and now that I did - the repress will probably come out now.

My friend turned me onto this album as a teen. Last month I found it for 6 bucks used at a local record shop in surprisingly pristine condition after a spin clean.

Here’s my current Frank Sinatra vinyl collection.
Gotten most from my grandmother, and the rest from goodwill or antique malls.
All vinyl in relatively good condition thankfully

Possibly not underrated but i really really enjoy this record, even the album cover is incredible to me. Lots of jazz elements too from quincy's earlier work seeps into this album. A lot of the sounds and producing techniques would end up on thriller too.

In late 1991, while grunge was detonating and every magazine was scrambling to crown Nevermind as album of the year, Spin went with Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesque instead. Spin wasn't wrong IMO.

This is the Scottish band’s third album (Creation in the UK, DGC in the US), and it’s pure, unapologetic power-pop/jangle filtered through a slightly scruffy Glasgow lens. Three songwriters—Norman Blake, Gerard Love, and Raymond McGinley—trading lead vocals and stacking those ridiculous harmonies. Producer Don Fleming basically told them “you guys can do harmonies, so do them,” and the rest is history. It sounds like Big Star finally got a proper sequel (critics still call it “Big Star’s 4th”), mixed with Byrds jangle, Beach Boys melodies, and a bit of Neil Young’s ragged edge, but with its own warm, slightly lazy charm.

Bandwagonesque didn’t reinvent the wheel. It just made the wheel sound better than almost anyone else was managing in 1991. While everyone else was either drowning in noise or chasing the next scene, TFC made a record full of sincere, slightly goofy love songs and massive melodies. Kurt Cobain called them “the best band in the world.” Liam Gallagher later ranked them second only to Oasis. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab) loved it so much he recorded a full-album cover and still calls it his favorite record by his favorite band.

I still love it.

My full collection.

I’ve gotten pretty deep into collecting Ukrainian vinyl over the past few years and thought I’d share some of my collection.

I first got into Ukrainian music through attending Atlas Weekend Festival in Kyiv. I also spent time at clubs like Closer, K41 and Kureni, and discovered more electronic artists at the Vibronica and Ickpa festivals. Those experiences got me digging further into Ukrainian music, and eventually well beyond electronic stuff. I think Ukraine has one of the most underrated music scenes in Europe.

I’m up to around 45–50 Ukrainian releases now, spanning electronic, experimental, indie rock, alternative and pop. Some favorites include ONUKA, The Hardkiss, Vivienne Mort, Dakh Daughters and Kazhanna.

A few highlights are the original red and white pressing of The Hardkiss’ Stones and Honey, the brown marbled ONUKA debut, Vidlik, and Dakh Daughters’ If. Finding some of these in the US takes a little digging, but I’ve had luck with Discogs and ordering directly from Ukrainian sellers. I also like being able to support Ukrainian artists, record shops and other businesses during such a tough time.

Anyone else here collecting Ukrainian records? Would love to see what you have and hear about artists or releases I should check out. Also curious where everyone is finding theirs.

playing a classic today. I only buy used and local so it took me awhile to find this, rounding out my Miles Davis collection

If you are a Phil fan and don’t know about this live album grab it or stream a listen of it. It really grabs his vocals in a live environment really well.

DJ QBert & Friends gloriously destroying vinyl for our enjoyment. 1998 Galactic Butt Hair Records GBH-0007-1. Average discog score of 4.5/5. The 2001 film built around the album is a fun action hero animated joy to watch. A dentist as the Hero. Wild.

I went to my local Comic con this past weekend and found some vinyl. I think I got them for a decent price.

Just wanted to update everybody on my new storage cabinet. I added a piece of wood across the back at the top. This does 2 things. It stiffens the cabinet and it gave me a place to mount the anti tipping brackets. I screwed and glued the wood to the cabinet. Then I mounted the brackets to it and the wall. The wall mounts are screwed to the studs in the wall. I opened all 3 top draws at once and the anti tipping bracket held it in place. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I bought a bunch of water damaged records from a friend yesterday and there was one un damaged, unopened copy of rust never sleeps. So I opened it and listened to it and it felt great. I collect records for the music not the money.

It’s that time of year! 🎃

I found this sealed copy on discogs for roughly £100. H4 is my favourite movie of all time, and in my honest opinion the best in the franchise.

The opening has the most atmospheric scene in the entire Halloween series. The characters are solid, The plot is well thought out and the kills are great.

I chose this over the reissues as I believe they got the track listing incorrect - plus I’m not keen about non black LPs.

Happy Halloween!

I know this is a Russian / Soviet bootleg, but when I tried to find it on discogs I didn't have any luck

Anyone seen this copy before?

Got scammed. Got too excited when I saw a variety of rare records at stupidly low prices. Got a confirmation email, but a bogus tracking number. Watch out for these guys.
