It’s a fantastic compilation! Not all funk tracks but it gives a good insight into pre-revolution Iran and its music. It also has tracks from Selda and Googoosh, who are two of the bigger stars from that era, alongside artists with very little info online.

Day 3: What’s That Smell? V/A - Pomegranates - Persian Pop, Funk, Folk And Psych Of The 60s And 70s

Day 2: Happy Groundhog Day! Arthur Verocai - Arthur Verocai Even as I slowly chip away at the breadth of Tropicalia music, I always come back to this one. The unparalleled arrangements here always push me to hyperbole and compare this closely to albums like Forever Changes and Odessey & Oracle.

Day 1: Black History Month Joe McPhee - Nation Time One of my all-time faves! An unbelievable live recording.

Is there one for January ready? I wanna join!

I actually avoid buying poly-lined sleeves and instead use regular plastic inner sleeves like these and house them in the paper sleeves. Not only are they cheaper than poly-lined, I don't need to throw the paper sleeves out.

I don’t know what the rules here are for using the word “grails” here, but if it’s against the written law, well, that’s 40 lashes for me! 2020 has already granted me two records way high on my wantlist, both of which have not been easy to find for years. My plan to hold back on buying new...

Oh I think I saw that panel video and they were shitting on isopropyl too, right? I still use it tho lol

Where was Tergikleen bashed? That's one ingredient I see almost universal praise for. I just can't get it locally, if not I'd have some by now.

1 month and I still can barely decide my top albums of the year

Thank you! The Meitei release was handled by a friend of mine, really proud to see how far he's gotten in doing this. Hope you managed to snag a copy!

Mr Bungle - Disco Volante I’ve fallen off from all things Patton music a long time ago, but a good deal on this came up recently - this still holds up! Boris - Feedbacker Terry Riley, Don Cherry, Karl Berger - Live in Koln 1975 Sunn O))) - Domkirke The new TMR reissue of Feedbacker sounds...

Probably my find of the year! An original pressing of Pacific, feat. Haruomi Hosono (YMO), Shigeru Suzuki and Tatsuro Yamashita. A jazzy, belearic instrumental beaut! From the scribblings to the sticker label, it looks like it was a local radio copy. Cover is worn but the record sounds pristine.

A reissue of Black Beings needs to happen!!

i don't think album play counts are as accurate for me, but this is:

Got the Fripp/Eno out on a weekend day off spent at home! Played some cassettes later without realizing it’s CSD today too.

Aye Yi hits hard! Wish I'll land a copy someday.

Sold a decent amount of records at a vinyl fair yesterday, but of course I brought some back... 😶 These are some new purchases earlier in the month! So happy Light in the Attic reissued the Sachiko album, and that Eddie Jobson record has Synclavier jams for days. Lucked out at a local...

So stoked to get that Rupa album! Numero did such a good job with their Duster reissue campaign and this following right after is way too generous. Extra shot on that supposed Bengali Tiger variant that’s really just multi-color streaks on translucent brown/orange. The Masabumi Kikuchi...

Local store’s taking a break so they had a clearance sale - they bring in a lot of soundtracks and Third Man stuff so I didn’t hold back! The soundtrack for The Burning is a lot more over-the-top than I expected it to be - then again it’s Rick Wakeman, but somehow I thought it’d just be moody...
