What's Spinning

The Isley Brothers - Go For Your Guns (2019 VMP Classics)

I'd never heard of these guys before, and they absolutely kill it! Love the funkiness of the tracks, and it was a real surprise when 'Footsteps in the Dark' came on as I previously knew it as being sampled on Ice Cube's 'It Was A Good Day'.

They were the most sampled group of all time. They also wrote this here tune:
 
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!

This record is killer, it puts me in such a good mood. One of my most spun VMP releases, even if side B is off-center

Gorillaz - The Now Now (2018)

Here we are, my friends... The last spin of the summer. College classes start up tomorrow morning, so it's time we give summer a proper send off. It was certainly less eventful than last summer, both in a good and bad way. But it did it's job and paid it's dues. Here's to the rest of the year, to next summer, and to the rest of our lives 🍻
