Couldn’t get a ticket for their upcoming Moon Safari tour.

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas hell yeah!! I’d love to catch an Air show.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas is that one you just picked up?

[Aetas]

Bought it last weekend @GraemeE @Mizmazzle
Now my lust for the 12’ “Air-Surfing On A Rocket” in picture Vinyl is high…

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I saw this LP at the thrift store near my house yesterday

The cover made me think it was probably cheesy eurovision type music so I didn't buy it but I can always go back

[tody]

@GraemeE Never heard of them, but going by Discogs, it's probably as cheesy as it gets...

@tody "Schlager" as a genre doesn't sound promising

[popvulture]

It's like an alternate universe Peelander-Z

[Aetas]

@GraemeE
It’s Austria Pop from the 80’.
Music is far away from the stuff you usually post, text and rhymes rather simple.
Would have linked a video here, if it wasn’t such mundane. See your DM.

[GraemeE]

Well then I'm glad I didn't buy it.....
There was a dozen or so albums that looked similar on the shelf.

I did however buy a German pressing of this one - I like his music although it could also be considered fairly cheesy depending on your perspective

[Aetas]

@GraemeE
I have a soft spot for French chansons.
Rare on German labels now and then!

[Aetas]

My found today is a Japanese band and pressing of ‚Creation‘.
Couldn’t hear in the shop, but totally glad that I picked it up.

Sorry for leaving the music here, but I guess this is nothing for the music thread. Totally caught by surprise.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas and I have a soft spot for japanese fusion

Great find - I haven't heard of this band

[popvulture]

Amazing cover art — I’d probably have bought it on that alone (sounds like you did too @Aetas )

[GraemeE]

The mustache of a 70s/80s Japanese jazz-funk player might very well be one of the most powerful facial hair configurations known to man

Amazing cover art …

Caught in the act. Find myself often judge unknown music bye it’s cover.

But in the time of smartphones, I’ll try to double check right in the shop.

[popvulture]

Ha, I know this strategy well

Just learned that on this cover of ‘Creation‘, the mustache belongs to Felix Pappalardi. NY musician and producer of the Youngbloods and Joan Baez.

I typically do the same but in the case of the Austrian Teletubies (schlager) I had left my ear buds at the office so I was flying blind
