- Well if you're looking for a #record slithering of #80's gated reverb and sexy sax served over a steamy movie template this can be had for a single US dollar. The Devo "bread and butter" fridge scene was quite scandalous if I recall. #music #vinyl #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- I think if AOR radio had not started to decline when this came out it may have been not only more well received it would have been actually heard. Our local stations had started hunting for obvious hits and this has them but also lots more to offer. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Reward for my chore of mowing 3 1/2 acres with a push mower each week under the MS sun was an allowance of $25 a month paid in installments 2 weeks apart. Shared the same look of disillusionment as the kid on the cover. Tired and angry #music #vinyl #nowspinning music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- The caped crusader joins forces with the Sun Ra Arkestra? You better believe it. Fun #record full of psychedelic surf guitar, horns and organ played over a theme of justice being served. Wish it was that easy. #music #batman #vinyl #nowspinning #bandcamp sunramusic.bandcamp.com/album/batman...
- This album is right on time for the times we are in. Great Sunday listening. #vinyl #music #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- #Chicago nerd alert. Found this country record still "SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION" recently. Center label caught my eye. Mercury records distributed and manufactured out of the Windy City under Phonogram Inc. Took this #photo just the other day #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Usually end up with the same answer which is, if you like Leon Russell there is a really good chance we could be friends. Keeping is simple today. #music #vinyl #records #musicsky music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Was too young to catch the Tubes at their peak but judging from the inner-cover and the excellent audio recording the audience got what they paid for and then some. Sad to have missed it. #music #vinyl #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- This album, Genius + Soul=Jazz, much like a lot of Ray Charles music is not available on the streams so you will have to old school it. It's an easy remedy for a better life. The horns on this thing just put a part in my hair. #vinyl #music #nowplaying #jazz www.discogs.com/sell/list?ma...
- Band was all over film soundtracks in the 80's. I like it. All those spiffy keyboards and #synths you had to stack and lug around to put on a show. Sounds like hard work. #vinyl #music #eighties #keyboards music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Watched the John and Yoko doc. It's really really good and also relevant to current events. Was too young to know what was happening in 71' but similarities have come back around. Link to buy the #vinyl and #documentary below www.onetoonefilm.com www.discogs.com/sell/list?ma... #music #beatles
- A #record where the title was actually my favorite song on the #album. Had AI run the numbers on this phenomenon. "The title track isn't always the most popular song on its own album, but it's a significant, frequent feature in successful music" #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Never owned a Vanilla Fudge record and I'm not sure why. They checked a lot of rock and roll boxes especially with big fat drums with a ton of heavy organ. All my weed peers had it playing in the background so maybe there was never a need. #music #Vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- I'm pretty old so my instincts were to initially dislike this record but maybe, just maybe, I've changed my mind and that feels...remarkably okay. So....Watch My Moves #music #vinyl #kurtvile music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Small Faces Compilation does not seem to be on the streams but can be had on #discogs. Was "lucky" to catch Ian Mclagen on the B3 bang out the absolute best english pub rock every Thursday afternoon in #Austin at the Lucky Lounge. Great show! Sadly passed in 2014. #nowspinning #vinyl #music
- Mighty fine live recording made in #austin. You can still find a few places that swing you around the dance floor. Taped at the Chaparral Club in the 70's which from my understanding has now morphed into the #sagebrush. Also, try the #brokenspoke #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/watch?v=nN3K...
- Probably best served to listen to this one at night with a swirly snifter full in hand while wearing a hat and sunglasses in a condo high-rise with the lights down low. Lot's of atmospheric exploration to be had. Werecats? Who knew? #vinyl #bowie #cats #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Peace to all and Happy New Year. Maybe shake a hand when you can. #vinyl #newyear #music #nowplaying #skymusic music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Was in a contentious songwriting class recently and the song Showdown was referenced as having a great chorus with sh#t lyrics for verses. Hmm, does it always have to be spelled out to be a complete song or does a fat bank account usurp all? Ask Jeff? #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- They say, post the Rumors #album or that Bowie #record that sits on your feed, you know the one. Maybe, but not today. This goes out to all nine of us out there in The Romantics Nation. Once proudly paid with a roll of dimes to get in to see them. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- I'm a mere poetic schlub but since it's just us on here I desperately need a daily challenge for my brain so how about a quick #haikualbumreview of this fabulous #record? Ahhh tranquility Listen and you may soon be A Byrd by the Sea #haiku #music #vinyl #poem music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Proven heat source for the winter months. Also, pairs well with a margarita or two. Enjoy #musicsky #vinyl #music #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Now we are getting somewhere cozy and bright. #holiday #music #Santa #vinyl #chicago music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Growing up I think every cover band in our town had a couple Time tunes ready to stir up the crowd. Bonus If you want a Prince record on the cheap he's all up on this thing. Morris talks things out on "Chili Sauce." Naughty business. #vinyl #music #funk music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Lot's of discussion about the mastering on this one and it does play a bit subdued volume wise. Certainly something to get into the weeds about with audiophiles. Sold a ton of these on CD back when. Super-funky jazz-jammy pocket-findy kind of vibe. #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Fond memories of this time and place record. Buy it whenever I see it. Usually pretty cheap and gets passed on to a friend. Great version of Hank's "You're Gonna Change". Was not familiar with Direct Metal Mastering but sounds really good to my ears #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Bluesky loves some cats and vinyl so here's a combo. Just found this mint copy so upgraded. Grady Tate sits on the drums stereo right. Smashing! Kenny Burrell on guitar and Jimmy keeps you warm on the Hammond as always. Oh, and horns! #music #vinyl #cats #jazz music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Kinda how I got to know the #stones, a buddy had this on cassette. Fun record full of hits so good for a party #spin. Diehards may scoff so don't invite them. Now is not the time for that. #vinyl #music #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Album cover exemplifies the looking worse for wear idiom and dang if that doesn't also apply to so many of us currently but remember, It's what's on the inside that matters. We all have to keep spinning round, beats the alternative. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Electric harpsichord versions of many of his Charlie Brown hits. Fun and funky. Much needed right now. Tragically lost our dog last year at Christmas. Still trying to get into the season which right now ain't happening. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Since I was little this album has been playing in and around my head. The BJ Thomas songs are not included on streams so just spend the dollar and grab this #album for your well being. Will ease your mind. Never a bad idea to watch the movie again. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- The 80's were a time of transition for many of the greats of the previous decade. This is what I suggest to folks when they meh Elton and his output later in his career. Guy F'n rocked and here's the proof. #vinyl #music #nowplaying music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Was her birthday yesterday. Hopefully she knew how much of an impact her music and approach as an artist meant to folks. 1990 was a challenging year for me and this album sure helped get through it. #music #vinyl #Sinead music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- This is the record we put on all those years ago when we heard the news from Howard Cosell that John had been shot. Strange age to contemplate such a tragedy as a 13 year old. The world could be so beautiful but also unfathomably cruel. #beatles #lennon #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- In High School my friend Scott was underestimated, mainly because he was not from around "here". That all ended when we blew the doors off the "Heads" POS in his lime green 455 big block estate wagon. This album provided the backdrop. Rock on Scott. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Remarkably the hit Strokin' is the last song on side 2. Maybe we overthink things like song placement but if you find yourself on the dance at the tail end of the night dancing to this song overthinking is no longer the issue. Good luck tonight! #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/watch?v=PxcD...
- Maybe appealing to a small select few on here but this power trio #zebra was big on AOR in the late 70' early 80's down along the #Louisiana corridor. Found unopened for a dollar. If you like the synth #Rush era you can handle this. #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Fun live record with Steve #Cropper on guitar along with a host of others. My friend had this on 8 track. We lost a great one yesterday but he did leave us lots of music to remember him by. Thanks Steve. #vinyl #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- It was explained to me that it is almost impossible to find an original mint condition Parliament record in #Chicago. Seems 3 flat flooring added a lot of stylus bounce to the party and my #record proves the theory. Yes to giving it up for the funk. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Good idea to have at least one Nick Lowe record lying around. Just hold this vinyl in both hands out in front of you and it magically leads you to your favorite local pub like a divining rod does to water. Try it. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Might have featured this before but whatever, I dig it. Fun record even if you are overly familiar with a I-IV-V chord pattern. Yes, Yes, Oh What a Thrill! #music #vinyl #nowspinning music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Right or Wrong, well I'm saying wrong if you think this isn't one of the best Texas swing songs ever written. #Bob Will's is still king. Only king worth submitting to. Great Merle tribute album. #vinyl #music #nowplaying music.youtube.com/watch?v=RWz8...
- A lot of #football out there. Not the hardest hitting album but some of the best things in life are what happens just trying to get lined up correctly. If you are not sure how to interpret that well that makes two of us. Go Bears! #vinyl #music #chicago #bears music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Cloudy mellow day out there so this will do nicely. Lalo Schifrin even makes an appearance. Never a bad thing. #music #vinyl music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
