What is spinning?

The "CD vs. Vinyl" thread had me of a mind to dust off some of the BIS classics and this forgotten treat demanded attention. For those that had considered exploring the BIS catalogue after that thread this is a good starting point. For whatever reason I would bet that Wooch and JM would appreciate this, perhaps Feanor as well...I would not presume to recommend anything to Pat D, but y'know...

The vocalists are top caliber and the music is sprightly and elegant. A winner if this kind of thing is your bag.

Bob Mould - Wishing Well 12" (from WorkBook) b/w If It's True, Poison Years, Brasilia Crossed With Trenton, Shoot Out the Lights (w/ Anton Fier, Tony Maimone, & Chris Stamey)!

Arthur Russell - The World of Arthur Russell (3 lp release on Soul Jazz)

I've spent the past few days finally catching up with the newest RADIOHEAD after downloading it and paying....0.00 cents for it. I must say that I wouldn't have been disappointed if I had bought this one for normal retail price, as it has more hits than misses on it, although it's clearly not anywhere near the caliber of their older material, but it has more songs that I enjoy than their last 3 releases combined.

I have always had an affinity for Bryan Ferry's Bete Noire disc with it's African rhythms, Johnny Marr jangling and atmospheric je ne sais quoi but have always felt the original born in the fledgling era of digital recording and effects processing needed reworking. I have commented as such in private and, I believe, on this here forum. Imagine my surprise to find a remixed version in the used bins of my local. Very nice indeed.
