LET'S GET SPINNING! GET THOSE RECORDS LISTENED TO AND DISCOVER NEW JOYS WITHIN YOUR COLLECTION!

So wait - i just spin an album I already own by an artist I already love and if I beat @avecigrec who is in the lead so far, I win $50 to the rescue that I adopted Sarge and Bob. from? And if I don't beat @avecigrec or someone else beats @avecigrec then another charity gets $50 so really there is no losing?

I love this.

I'm playing Nina. Robyn is the constant supervisor.

Am I doing this right??

Looks like you're doing many right!

It was a house warming gift from the bro in law. And it was the first thing I hung. I love it so much.

Buffy Sainte-Marie - Fire & Fleet & Candlelight

Solomon Burke - Lord We Need A Miracle

Ayyyyy-eeee. This album is fire! I love Solomon and his brand of soul dripping in sexy time vibes. This is his take on gospel.

Madonna - True Blue

Phylicia Allen - Josephine Superstar



First spin! Been hanging on to this for nearly a year now, waiting for the right moment. Guess this is finally it. A really fun treat that ties together my love of Jesus Christ Superstar, Josephine Baker, funky disco and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!

A Taste of Honey - Twice As Sweet

J.J. Johnson - Proof Positive

 

[Teeeee]

Well in this new post-vaxx world, I apparently must sleep 11 hours a night, starting at 9pm. So my plans of playing albums for a few hours last night failed. Let's see if I can put a dent into catching up with @avecigrec today.

I love this idea, gngo. You inspired me to finally set up my tt in my new home yesterday.

Nice chill way to start the day. Hard to believe this is the guy who shredded his vocal chords in a screaming match with John Lennon.

Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio

View attachment 98340

I have found Alice's music to be substantially more fascinating than her husband's as of late, something you'd never hear me say even three years ago. I could use more of her records without hesitation, and I am eager to sample more.
This one is also fairly accessible; glad I got this one on a blind buy last month. Hard bop influences, but assuredly not the intent.

Ptah, the El Daoud is my favorite of hers. It desperately needs a vinyl reissue.

Let's get weird.
