What's Spinning

[agutierrezb]

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!

#55: John Coltrane - A love supreme



What a way to 3nd Coltrane Week and to mark the end of the first 1/5 of my collection listening challenge.

That lil piece of paper sticking out of the shelf marks the last record I spun: Two cubes down. 8 more to go.

Uhhhh. Am I missing something?

Uhhhh. Am I missing something?

Are you?

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Are you?

If I were to take a stab at it maybe he didn’t realize this classic Boris album’s cover art was paying homage to the classic Nick Drake album’s cover art, Maybe?

I’m curious how it sounds? I have Pink but really want this. How’s the pressing?

Rancid ‎– ...And Out Come The Wolves

I thought that would probably be it, too. But I was tired and snarky last night and coming down with a cold

...and I didn't think it was a big mystery either - it's been the US album cover of this record for 14 years and the Japanese vinyl cover since it's original release 16 years ago.


This pressing sounds fine...no issues at all. I've only heard the album on mp3 (most likely from file sharing back in the day)

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

This is one of my favorite summertime albums.

Seeing as how it's October 4th and we're entering our 5th straight day of record breaking temperatures in the 90s, it still fits the bill.

Good thing climate change is all just a hoax.

Finally got around to playing these from Real Gone Music's sale from a few weeks ago.

Cliff Martinez ‎– Contagion is 6 bucks - and a pretty good soundtrack.

Cliff Martinez Contagion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP

Stretching over Some Ten Projects (e.g. Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Traffic, Solaris), the Collaboration Between Ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Cliff Martinez and Film Director Steven Soderbergh Has Been One of the Most Fruitful in Cinema History But Perhaps the Greatest Martinez-Soderbergh...
