Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@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

@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.

@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.

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.

[GraemeE]

@goosehd I assume the ones you parted with now cost 10 times as much to replace?

[goosehd]

[J-IV]

Noted!

Just a handful of doubles I had upgraded in the past two years and some common records I copped when I was getting started.

@steelworker Bet that was a great show. Here are my two Sonny & Brownie albums

[GraemeE]

Birkenstock weather means Crosby time

[steelworker]

@steelydan that was long ago, no pics I'm afraid

[GraemeE]

Happy Thursday to me from the DHL delivery van

Edit: I didn't realize he was on Bertrand Burgalats label but that totally makes sense

I spoke briefly to Doug McCombs (of Tortoise) the other night as he's playing in the current lineup of Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band. I was hoping he'd notice my IH jean jacket as he's a known fan of Japanese denim but no such luck. lol.

3day weekend starting with Thee Oh Sees.
