@setandsetting I gotta jump on this

[setandsetting]

I usually don’t buy records on Amazon but this was $16.

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting that was the tour with the early foo fighters lineup backing him?

[setandsetting]

@GraemeE yep that’s the one. Plus Eddie Vedder in Hovercraft.

[setandsetting]

Best REM of the 90s here.

Late 90s portland vibes this morning

Was in the mood for this. Bought this Vinyl originally when it came out in 1984. Seen him several times live. Forgot about and rediscovered. Still audibly :-).

Do you guys dig Sparks? I’ve got tickets for June.

[setandsetting]

More Sparks

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting it took 20+ years of all of my friends trying to get me into them but it wasn't until around 2 year ago that they "clicked" with me.
Now I'm a believer

It was a single moment in that andy Warhol doc when #1 song in heaven came on - suddenly my brain was ready to dive into a good chunk of their cataloge

[GraemeE]

While none of these are my favorite album by the particular artist when i see clean vinyl at a goodwill for $2 i feel a sort of sense of duty to rescue them

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , I like that "toys in the attic".. and for $2 , no brainer.. clean them ,spin them ..

[GraemeE]

@steelydan exactly

That'a a good story! Didn't remember them from the doc. "Angst in My Pants" was in a recent episode of Yellowjackets on Showtime. I got into Sparks because I was having a slow day at the record store by my house last year and they had cheap copies of Indiscreet and Propaganda so I bought both. I vaguely knew that friends had mentioned them but I was really blown away by both.

[setandsetting]

I think Shot of Love is the winner from the above haul.

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting I think I'd have to agree with you on that one - I was honestly hoping for more out of the clamtones from 77 because I like the record they did with the holy modal rounders and michael hurley a year earlier

[setandsetting]

OG mono in honor of your Dylan pickup.

[GraemeE]

On the way home after dim sum and crate digging with old friends

[steelydan]

[steelydan]
