Three Dog Night Suitable For Framing (1969, Dunhill) RIP Chuck Negron When I was a kid TDN was huge. HUGE. Over 20 smash hit songs & 9 Gold albums in 6 years. And then nothing. Drugs. Egos. Every cliche. Chuck seemed to be the problem. A tough road for a long time. #vinyl #nowspinnig #rip

J.S. Bach / Otto Klemperer Mass In B Minor (1749) (1968, Angel) I listen to a fair amount of classical music, primarily post-Wagner - 20th century. The powdered wig stuff is obviously great, but... The most gigantic thing ever! Under the baton of Klink's dad?! 🔥 #vinyl #nowspinning #bach

Scruffy The Cat Moons Of Jupiter (1988, Relativity) Even with their ultimate LP being produced by Jim Dickinson at Ardent in Memphis, Relativity just couldn't move the needle enough to keep this amazing band going. Same old story... #vinyl #nowspinnig

The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane (1970, RCA) Until I got this comp about a year ago I never gave the Airplane a 2nd thought. They were there. Couple of cool tunes. Blah blah. But everything on this record is GREAT! Makes me want to get their entire catalog. #vinyl #nowspinning

RIP Bob Weir 😢 #nowspinning

Diamanda Galas Broken Gargoyles (2022, self released) Music to frighten & delight the undead. 👹 I saw her in concert a few years ago in a decrepit/fantastic old theater in Downtown LA. I was the awkward bloodless doofus in a sea of vampires. #vinyl #nowspinning

Laurie Anderson Mister Heartbreak (1984, Warner Bros) I can't imagine an artist like LA getting signed to a major label today. Tom Waits is another. Zappa. There are quite a few of em. So much great music being left behind. Pity. #vinyl #nowspinning

Happy New Year Am I only one nerding out on these amazing PBR Godzilla cans? ☢️🇯🇵🐉

The Melvins Hold It In (2014, Ipecac) If you're not listening to the Melvins with your Christmas Eve coffee ☕...get with the program. Or something. #vinyl #nowspinning

The Last Emperor Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne & Cong Su (1987, Virgin Movie music) Haven't seen the movie. But this soundtrack is magnificent! Because Sakamoto & Byrne have 1/2 each, I wonder if there was a bitter behind-the-scenes battle for the full commission. Worked out. #vinyl #nowspinning

Play it Steve! RIP Steve Cropper If you can learn all of Steve's parts, that's all you'll ever need to be a great guitarist. Forget about the songwriting - you can't do that. #nowspinning #stax

Wire Chairs Missing (1978, Harvest) I was late coming to Wire. Shame. Better late than never. This album is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ throwdown! Post-punk Saturday night special here. F the neighbors. #vinyl #nowspinning

Kraftwerk Autobahn (1974, Vertigo) Life hack: Nothing saves a dreary, rainy Saturday afternoon like hypnotic synthesizers & drum machines. #vinyl #nowspinning

Robert Gordon with Link Wray (1977, Private Stock) Picked up a couple of dollar-bin beauts this weekend. The debut of the charismatic rockabilly revivalist featuring legendary guitar lunatic. So much heart & soul. Wow!!! #vinyl #nowspinning

Intensified! Original Ska 1962-1966 (1979, Mango) More Intensified! Original Ska 1963-1967 (1980, Mango) Incredible (2 volume) compilations of the greatest Jamaican Ska groups of the mid-60s. Mango Records was the Caribbean imprint of Island Records. #vinyl #nowspinning #fridayvibes

Is Rockpile - Seconds Of Pleasure a qualifying release? It seems like it should be, but there might be a gray area. If "yes" its in my T5 for sure. 🎸🥁 #5debutalbums8084

CUP (Yuka Honda & Nels Cline) Spinning Creature (2019, Northern Spy) Super fantastic LP! Recording & touring with your spouse? I saw them on this tour and there seemed to be a few seconds of....something. It was great! #vinyl #nowspinning

The Golden Palominos s/t (1983, OAO) A veritable who's who of funky post punk oddballs: Anton Fier, Arto Lindsay, John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Fred Firth, the professor & Maryanne... This LP hits hard in surprising ways 42 years on. Let's see some ID!!! #vinyl #nowspinning

RIP John Lodge Even though the Moody Blues were hugely successful in their 60s-70s heydey, and again in the 80s, their legacy seems overshadowed by their (lesser) contemporaries. I don't understand it. Now with John's death only Justin Hayward remains.☹️ #nowspinning

Steve Reich Music For 18 Musicians (1998/2015) This American genius achieved 89 years on Friday. Originally composed/recorded in the mid-70s, Nonesuch got the gang back for a fresh recording of "18" in 1998 for CD release. (LP in 2015) This is among the greatest works of American music. #vinylsky

Yoko Ono Fly (1971, Apple) Relative to the subsequent 50+ years of unconventional recordings, this LP holds up as a landmark of experimental music. Easy to understand that it felt a bit shocking in 71. Fearless. Excellent. #vinylsky #nowspinning

The Ramsey Lewis Trio The In Crowd (1965, Cadet/Argo) Based on the popularity of the title track, both LP & single topped the charts 60 years ago along with Help! and I Got You Babe, and all the rest from that spectacular year. We need more funky instrumentals on the charts. #vinyl #nowspinning

Pere Ubu Terminal Tower (1985, TwinTone) Angular proto-punk compilation of their earliest non-album tracks, 1975-1980. A masterpiece of oddball future vision. Or something... #vinylskyl #nowspinning #saturdayspins

The Troggs is where it's at! Best Of The Troggs (1984, Rhino) 14 killers. #vinylsky #nowspinning

RIP Flo ☹️ Mark Volman has leveled up. The ultimate high harmony voice, story teller, & tambourine juggler. He & Howard Kaylan (Eddie) were responsible for some of the greatest California pop music of all time. #nowspinning #theTurtles #FloAndEddie

The soundtrack to the evening news. Everybody dance! 💃🏼🕺🏼 Edgard Varése The Varése Album (1972, Columbia Masterworks) This LP is a compilation of Robert Craft's incredible Music Of Edgard Varése Vol I & II from 1960 &1962 respectively. #nowspinning #vinyl #apocalypse

RIP Connie Francis She died a couple of days ago. I was a bit surprised that she was still with us TBH, but I shouldn't have been because she was tough as nails. Anyway, this 1963 compilation on MGM is my favorite greatest hits album ever. Don't let the ridiculous cover fool you. #nowspinning
