Just came home from a short trip and this wonderful record was waiting for me.

@GraemeE shipped me this over the Antlantic and I am overwhelmed and grateful.
Absolutely wonderful tunes.
Thanks mate!

All credits on @GraemeE.
He choosed the record, bore the costs and teased me beautifully:
“It is fitting because several songs deal with the changing of the seasons of life when parents pass
Also a great fucking record!”

@endo was just listening to that the other day.
Great stuff

[GraemeE]

@Aetas so glad you enjoy.

Also the timing of its arrival matched up (unintentionally) with the passing of Phil Lesh

[GraemeE]

Keeping in theme with this mornings work tunes

A recent find - field recordings

@GraemeE please share your thoughts. Sounds cool.

Fresh vinyl press. Happy with it since the old one was warped beyond fixing.

[GraemeE]

@68degreesorless for sure.
I got it cleaned up and will put it on tomorrow morning while I'm working in my home office

My son taking over the turntable for the afternoon. No complaints

@prpx Whenever my son and I would go on Road trips his job was to create a playlist and be the DJ. Always a lot of fun. Great to have/share musical memories with your children.

@Jett129 @prpx @endo no kids and no record player here, but this conversation reminded me of something I was listening to in the car earlier so I thought I’d risk a topic-adjacent post. All for cross-generational musical memories.

IMO one of the best reference to father / boy musical education could be this

[68degreesorless]

When I think of my dad and music, two words come to mind. Jimmy. Buffett.

@Jett129 - agree, we do the same thing, so there's lot of Venom, Slayer and Megadeath on those trips

Now, who is a kurious oranj?

Getting around to playing this one
From the discogs info it's a 50s re-issue of recordings that were originally put out on 78s in 1941

I haven't been able to find any of the recordings online other than this fairly understated track to share but it's in a similar vein to other recordings of the period I've had.

Most of the recordings are percussion and group vocals- i really enjoy this stuff as it tends to be fairly repetitive/meditative and the lo fi recordings tends to give the feel of early blues at times.

I'm of the opinion that preserving and enjoying these types of early recordings is super important.

Obviousely these particular peoples have gotten some of shittiest of the shitty treatment on this continent but the work of Laura Boulton in capturing these recordings strikes me as noble as opposed to exploitative......
