Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[J-IV]

Solid pick-ups per usual @steelydan . The ThreeBlindMice label is almost an automatic buy when I do see it

Can't go wrong with some Soul on a Sunday

[Mizmazzle]

@J-IV this guy is so talented. Saw Durand Jones and the Indications about a year ago. Completely blew me away. So so good.

[steelydan]

@J-IV , thanks .. the three blind mice 2 digit is getting harder to come by , dealer is pricing them higher . And still looking for green caterpillar tbm-39...

[J-IV]

@Mizmazzle forreal! That whole band is looking like a supergroup tbh. Aaron was the first to venture solo and now Steve (their pianist) and Durand just dropped their own projects this year.

Have you peeped his EP with Dan Aurbach? His cover of The Makings of You is chefs kiss

[J-IV]

@steelydan tell me about it.. jazz vinyl prices in general are getting impossible to keep up. I remember seeing Strata-East/BlackJazz LP's in the bargain bins and now they're housed in the Collectable section.

For this year rsd , its Taylor Swift . Theres people queuing since 6 am in the morning , and within an hour of acquiring it .its on sale in FB for 150% profit . . I just hate these flippers ...but i understand it can't be help

[GraemeE]

Give it up or turn it loose......

[GraemeE]

At this point there is only 1 or 2 of his releases that I have yet to acquire

This one was put out the year after he passed and is brilliant

Two very good, very different pickups today:

[GraemeE]

@popvulture im not familiar with either - sounds like I need to do some homework

[GraemeE]

Now that the weather is nicer I can share my corner of the living space

After being on sabbatical from listening to records since my oldest was born in 2014 I have been re-entering the world over the last couple of years

I've cobbled together a modest listening station in my detached home office with room to bring down a few stacks of records at a time from storage

What I lack in quality gear and storage I make up for in the fact that I can listen to my tunes while sitting in 104 degree water surrounded by grape vines

Tonight's tunes for the tub

[steelworker]

@steelydan I saw Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee play in a bar

[steelydan]

@steelworker , thats so cool and rad . Pls share pic or vid if you have any ..

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , your back yard is so chill, with that i would be happy with just a phone on Spotify.

[J-IV]

@GraemeE having a space to spin records is a special treat, I'd say. Coupled with the fact that it extends outside has so much potential for awesomeness!

[GraemeE]

@J-IV leaving my collection boxed up and untouched for so long is a bit shameful but thankfully I have a friend who kicked my ass into gear around 2020 to start actually listening to (and buying) them again

I've been drooling over the tables and audio gear some of you guys have - I'll get back to that point in time

[popvulture]

@Graeme definitely worth checking out. Makaya McCraven falls roughly in the same modern jazz lane as Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin. MJ Lenderman is sort of lo-fi, scuzzy, country-ish indie rock. Great melodies and lyrics. Kind of reminds me of Sparklehorse, but a little less ethereal.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture I'm into pretty much all of those things so should be a win/win

[J-IV]

@GraemeE having them boxed up right now might work in your favor. I've over grown my space and I'm starting to box some records for a potential room rearrangement and culling some of my collection. It makes it easier for you to shape the area as you wish with ease.

[goosehd]

Pro tip: be careful culling the collection. A few that I have sold in the past I wish I never had and want to buy again.
