    The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

    Such a great record. The Fairport Convention/Sandy Denny/European folk framework is there but there are hints of alt-country (before there was alt-country) sneaking in. @Nee Lewman - how versed are you in Fairport Convention? Is this record on the list also? Just as good (if not better) and...

    Thanks for the tag. That's just a ridiculous amount of money for a 3LP set. I'll stick with my 4LP version. Might bite when it bottoms out. https://www.discogs.com/release/7151853-The-Black-Crowes-Live-Volume-1 https://www.discogs.com/release/7151900-The-Black-Crowes-Live-Volume-2

    Shhhh. Don't tell anyone, but records have become nothing but a FOMO money grab. Limited this, numbered that, variant here, variant there, variant variant everywhere. It's what's in the grooves that matters. The blood, sweat and tears of the artist. The music. The music is what matters. Not...

    Not sure lobbying for an editorial/writing position on Linkedin and using the wrong word in "plums the depths" in the pitch inspires employer confidence.

    Day 15: Flight To Mars May 2012, The Casbah – Play something with a guest star. You fine folks of this community showered my wife and I with a ridiculous amount of love for our 40th wedding anniversary last April. One of the gifts was VIP tix to Drive-By Truckers celebrating their Southern...

    Day 14: Oingo Boingo December 1986, Hollywood Palladium – One of my favorite memories of my late friend Jim was seeing Oingo Boingo with him and jumping around in the pit. Play something for a friend. I have a friend who's been my runnin' pardner to shows since the mid 80's. We met in a record...

    Vinyl Me, D: A Free Record Club - Year 3 Official Thread - 36 Winners - Like The First Post, You're In For 2025 - 156 Free Records Given Away So Far

    April bonus bonus record winners have responded, and their record is chosen. I'm now sitting at 147 records given away so far. That's such a clumsy number. I don't see any reason not to round this thing up to 150 and set a VMD record by giving away 12 records in a month. One more time...

    April bonus record winners have responded, and their record is chosen. It's not even mid-March and I've given away 6 records for April. I don't see any reason to slow down since the idiot re-elected by the dumdasses in my country is hell-bent on imploding the world. Times a'wastin'. Let's make...

    Day 13: Tash Sultana October 2019, Ohana Festival – Play something by a solo artist. If you've ever seen a solo electric Bob Mould show, you know how cathartic an experience it is. If you havent't, imagine Bob playing with Husker Du, Sugar or his own band, remove all the members except Bob and...

    Day 12: The Strokes October 2019, Ohana Festival – This was probably the only time I felt like the crowd was out of control at a show. The rush of people to the stage when the Strokes hit the stage was like a wave, honestly a pretty scary feeling. Play something by an artist with rabid fans...
