Cleaning through the collection as I begin to transition the room from office to nursery. Just threw up a bunch of audiophile jazz for cheap if you're interested!

Snuck away from Graceland to visit the Stax museum. What an awesome place! Highly recommend for anyone familiar with the Stax label or American soul music in general.
Wife and I are visiting Graceland with my in-laws. FIL is a huge Elvis fanboy and we’re staying at the “Guest House” hotel. This is like an Elvis fever dream.
I do not get the fandom. I could take or leave Elvis, but this is another level of fandom. Makes me wonder what will happen to this place when boomers are gone.
The new Rolling Stone single further enhances my bewilderment with the band. It’s pretty bad.
They’re the one renowned group I could never really get or even enjoy. I’ve tried so many times! The Who are not far behind them, but at least I enjoy Quadrophenia!
Not Jimmy!
We lost a very talented young musician to cancer today. James Casey was a phenomenal saxophone player, a staple in the Trey Anastasio Band for many years, and played with the likes of Bill Kreutzman, Phil Lesh, The Roots, Anderson Paak, and many more. May he rest in peace
There really is nothing like listening to an album for the 1,000th time and hearing something completely new.
Anyone do a significant downsize recently (I’m talking 30-50% of their collection)? Trying to assess which would be the most cost effective and efficient when there is a mix of higher end ($50+) and $15-30 stuff.
I’ve hit the point in used record collecting/digging where I’m really thinking of focusing on finding a particular niche/label/genre.
For any NJ/tri-state area folks, there’s great local record show at The Woodland in Maplewood, NJ this Sunday.
It’s my favorite local area show - always walk away with some killer stuff. Lots of vendors who don’t normally sell elsewhere.
Am I the only one that wasn’t aware that if you go into your “Collection” on the Discogs app, and shake your phone, it will pick a random album for you?
Pretty fun when you don’t know what to spin.
Sad news
RIP Wayne Shorter
Wayne Shorter, Innovator During an Era of Change in Jazz, Dies at 89
His career as an influential tenor saxophonist and composer reached across more than half a century, tracking jazz’s complex evolution during that span.t.co
Watched The Minimalists with my wife last night and feeling very guilty when looking at my collection and how many albums I *actually* play
Another MoFi title, another massive seam split
they need to change something because that’s 5 straight shipments of seam splits from MoFi alone.
Don’t have the heart to tell my mom that I can’t use the suitcase Crosley she got me
but it’s the thought that counts! - Merry Christmas!
Every local store near me (aside from the best one) is stocked with WalMart and Target new releases. Do they think people don't know about their sales? Why would I buy a target release from them when its cheaper online? Stuff like this always confuses me and makes me second guess their judgement as owners.
TIL that Norah Jones’ father is RAVI SHANKAR. Wtf?? How didn’t I know this lol
I wish I was kidding but two of the best all-around albums in my collection, sound wise, are Muppet albums: The Muppet Movie and The Muppet Christmas Carol iam8bit pressings. Seriously very quiet and sound way too good for a bunch of furry puppets.
It's days like this, Sunday of a holiday weekend, where I want to say "fuck it" and just open my own record/music store.
Happy Thanksgiving! Put together a food-themed mix this morning before festivities begin. Enjoy!! -
