What is spinning?

That particular Jimmy Smith album is a classic. I've got the RVG Remaster and it too sounds superb.

Speaking of organists, today's selection, Pat Martino's El Hombre, has some serious chops from Trudy Pitts. Great stuff...

This song has been rolling around in my head and humming from my lips since watching Wes Anderson's Hotel Chevalier/The Darjeeling Limited over the weekend:

Digitalis Recordings: Born Again for the First Time
Label sampler from Digitalis, celebrating the launch of their redesigned website. If you're at all into odd synth stuff, experimental music, and the gentler side of noise music Digitalis has a ton of great stuff for you. This sampler is a great way to jump in because it has fresh material from a lot of label artists like Discoverer, Panabrite, Hobo Cubes and many more, right around 2 hours of music. And, it is available at name your price/free, in whatever format you want, even FLAC. A great way to see what the label is about and pick out something to explore further.

Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline on Sundazed vinyl. Nice.

Ricardo Villalobos: Dependent and Happy

Been spinning with this one today. There's far too many categories for electronic music for me to even name, as if I even knew what they call em. I think this one's supposed to be in the dance variety. It chugs along at a pretty even temp for 80 minutes. But what makes it enjoyable to listen to is the casual an constantly evolving mix of rhythms and noises. Mostly electronic but a fair amount of environmental samples. It rewards listening without being pompous or overly showy. Put it on and just let it take you where ever. Nice if you like this sort of trance-y stuff.

DJ Clash featuring Nicodemus and Toyan

Been on a bit of a reggae/dub/dancehall kick lately. Just picked this one up on vinyl and I'm loving it. Great dubbed out backing with Nicodemus and Toyan taking turns over the top. Henry "Junjo" Lawes handles the production on this and does a fantastic job as the backing tracks steal the show for me.

I stumbled across this the other day. I didn't even know he had a new one coming out this year. One spin so far and it doesn't disappoint.

[Enochrome]

I've enjoyed this thread recently more than any other here. For go the gear and just get into the music.

Thanks to all who posted in the last couple of weeks you've just added a huge amount to my "want list"

Cheers

....I guess I should post some albums I've gotten recently when I get around to it.

Alright, you Indie Hipster! Would it have been so difficult to tell those of us who don't always connect the dots, that this is a solo album by the lead singer of Grandaddy!

I was just listening to I'm Okay with My Decay (ipod shuffled) on my walk and thinking how much I like Sophtware Slump, but its the only album of theirs in my collection.

There's no mistaking Lyttle's voice!

God what a nightmare posting at AR has become. It took great effort to get these up!!

In any case this 3 disc collection is a revelation in soul music. I am convinced that he was the greatest deep soul singer EVER. That's right, better than Marvin, Otis and anyone else you can name. I managed to actually get my hands on this Japanese LtdEd, and it was worth every penny.

... a nice mix of Blue Note with a couple Riverside LPs thrown in for some live cuts.

So you are indeed still alive Rae? Happy New Year dude.

[Rae]

Same to you, babe!

[Hyfi]

Happy New years all!

Last week I watched the Kennedy Honers and was thoroughly blown away by Beth Hart who I knew nothing about. I am really enjoying her latest venture with Joe Bonamassa but she has a whole catalog to go thru with plenty of awesome stuff.

[Bernd]

Hiro - good luck with the interviews, and take your time.
Bobsticks - Mike Ness - you are full of surprises. I love that album. Good Call.

Anyway on the round spot over here is:

"Band of Horses - Everything all the Time".

A great debut and superb recording. Some similarities to My Morning Jacket.Good Stuff.

Peace and keep'm spinning

Hey B, good to hear that you have time for spinnin', and yeah, I still throw down on occassion...

Currently Gary Moore gets another spin 'round these parts. The Back To The Blues DVD-A is one I've been flogging for awhile, but it just doesn't get old. While offering nothing grounbreaking, it has some great boogie-blues and some swanky brass on "You Upset Me Baby" which I believe is an old BB King standard. Good stuff.
