What is spinning?

What a great thread. Spinning Pontiac by Lyle Lovett.

Doesn't have to be perfect, just a couple of clicks per song and no hiss.

Been giving an ear to this collection of cool vibes....It was compiled by Richard Metzger (Disinformation) and contains many of the great, funky, lame-O, and truly wonderful moog-based musical offerings from the '60's and '70's that made the instrument a staple in "with-it" ensembles of the time. Starting with Hot Butter's Popcorn and moving up to Fatboy Slim doing a remix of E.V.R., you're gonna wanna pull out yer pinwheels and lava lamp and have a groovy time....

Fleet Foxes "Fleet Foxes" LP
Hayes Carll "Trouble In Mind" LP

Those are a few new things I am spinnin'. As for older things:
Sonny Rollins "4" SACD
Amon Tobin "Permutations" CD
Soundtrack Five Easy Pieces LP
Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" (just watch the documentary, very good) CD

Those are some nice selections jclayton, gotta love anybody that'll go from Sonny Rollins to Joy Division...

there's some excellent album art on this page of spins...

I've been oddly addicted to the Bobb Trimble reissues the last week or 2. and just 'discovered' Band of Horses...this is a fine album indeed ('Cease to Begin').

bobsticks, having worked in a record store for 5 years I have learned to appreciate the best in each genre, although I am still learning the jazz. Tonight I picked up new Portishead on LP as well as Television "Marquee Moon" 180g LP. My wife grabbed a bunch of 45s (mostly 70s & 80s) from the cheap bin for the jukebox we are restoring. Then I picked up a couple of CDs by a band called Principles of Geometry, if you are into electronic music like Boards of Canada then check them out...the new one, Lazare is definitely in my top 10 of 2008.

**jclayton** · 09-05-2008, 08:39 PM

BTW, is that Coop that did that Calexico cover? I loved his devil girls (Lords of Acid "Lust" LP, horrible band, great album cover).

Cool. I'll have to check 'em out, that's definetely an area of interest. Thanks for the rec. I'm not sure I'd even have time to post if I worked in a record store...

Been listening to this one a lot lately. Great moody stuff, the music is like a soundtrack to the scene on the cover above, kind of a tawdry night time adventure through some bars and cafes, raucous at times, and more reflective at others. Holly Golightly even does the cool guest vocal boy-girl duet thing on the title track (by kind permission of herself in the liner notes

). Missed this in 2006 and 2007 for some odd reason, probably because like a lot of the things I love these days, it didn't get a release in the States. Maybe I'll just pretend it got a US release in 2008 and put it high on my list at the end of this year. It is turning into my favorite record by these guys, though I only have 2 or 3 others.

Just from the description I feel compelled to hear this Monkey Man..."kind of a tawdry night time adventure through some bars and cafes, raucous at times, and more reflective at others."...sounds like a good night by these sensibilities.

Hey Jaybo,

Long time mi amigo. Still a workaholic I see...good tunes though.

If ya get a chance, for a palette cleanser, give a lil' listen to some David Byrne by name of Grown Backwards.

Peace B

**jrhymeammo** · 09-10-2008, 07:26 PM

STICKS!!!

Long time no blabber. Thanks for your recommendation. I'll be sure to check it out.
Most of Workaholics do not complain about work, so I think I'm safe. Do enjoy the rage though...

Got a CD the other day. I guess others will consider it as Pop, but has enough talent from turning it off. Dave may enjoy thi'sin. I'll try to include it in my next package.

I tried listening to Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I'm pretty sure I'd rather drink urine from a gym shoe than replicate that experience. Interestingly, or not so much, my first recollection of Gnomes is actually from an episode of "The Young Ones" that I saw when I was six or so. Those were rough years so, y'know, bad memories and all that...

OTOH:

**Auricauricle** · 09-12-2008, 10:08 AM

Piper at the Gates of Dawn....Who sez you need Kool-Aid and Microdot to melt your brain? Wanna chase it with a Saucerful of Secrets?

Where's my Wind in the Willows?

Lucinda: Beautiful....Nice recording, nice vocals....In short: Nice....

I bought that CD a couple of years ago after seeing her on TV. She has a beautiful voice, but the song writing just sucked IMO...bland and boring. Couple that with sonics that sound like it was recorded in a tin can and the CD didn't get past a half dozen spins. It's too bad too, because she is definately talented. With some decent song choices and better production, I can see her as the next Norah Jones.

N.P. at my desk is Edwin McCain's Messenger. I love this CD. Solid song writing and lots of nice strummy guitar. Mmmmmm.

**Auricauricle** · 09-12-2008, 12:01 PM

My Mum's ol' college suitemate is making a buzz....Even Emmylou Harris contributed and speaks highly of her....She ain't bad....Check it out.

Lunasa - The Story So Far...

Great compilation from their current catalog, with new recordings of 2 tracks. I notice that all the older tracks have been remixed by Trevor Hutchinson, the bass player. He has mixed all the tracks, in fact. I reckon the remix is worthwhile, the whole effort sounds very smooth and well balanced.

(Tried to attach a scan of the cover, but it didn't work. Not sure why.)

**emesbee** · 09-14-2008, 07:02 AM

Ah, I see. Image file was too large. Hopefully this will work.
Nope! Well, it uploaded, allegedly, but didn't appear in the message. Its getting late, I give up.
