What's Spinning

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

#137: Keith Jarrett Trio - Still Live

IMG_20200205_060410.jpg

This album is my favorite by Jarrett, and one of the records in my collection I cherrish the most. It was actually my first (or maybe second?) KJ album, and I picked it up on the wild without knowing a thing about his "Standards Trio", but as soon as I got home and placed it on my turntable I was blown away by the music coming out of my speakers. This is not one of Jarrett's most celebrated albums, and but there is just something about the intricate interplay these men display here, each bringing their unique musical voice to build complex structures in which the whole is much more than the sum of its parts. This may sound as sacrillege to some, but the performances on this album blow out of the water anything Bill Evans ever recorded with his trio.

a perfect circle - eat the elephant

another record i’ve sat on for awhile, this is my first spin and first time hearing the majority of the songs on here. have to say i’m pleasantly surprised. mer de noms it is not, but for a softer and more accessible approach it seems to me billy and maynard crafted a pretty solid album.
 
Following @agutierrezb (and others) collection play through and to allow myself to purge some albums, I'll be starting to listen to my collection also. Don't really know how many albums I have(Discogs says 357 but I know a couple that aren't there) so let's see how much time I take to listen to all.

First up, gappy by Emi Okamoto. [1/357]

This one I heard a couple of songs in my last trip to Japan and liked it, so I bought this newly released album with a very good price(under $20 USD). If you like pop music I think this may be for you!

‘74 Indianapolis pressing. I was listening to a podcast where they were talking about this LP. Seemed like a good time to bring my OG copy out of storage, give it the VPI treatment, and a Mo-Fi sleeve. Vintage Synths.

City Girl "Neon Impasse" [2/357]

Relaxing chill-hop vibes, nice to throw on and do nothing. I think @duke86fan is a fan of this.

I am, too. Although I'm glad to own this, it is not something I would purchase under my current acquisition criteria this year (falls under impulse purchases). Very pleasant also to cook to, laundry, etc.
