What's Spinning

[POGunter]

Two recent arrivals. Both solid albums.

 

[POGunter]

Waiting patiently for Suzanne Vega’s new one to arrive so I pulled my OG of her classic album Solitude Standing today for another play through. This is one of those albums that started out good (1987) and just keeps getting better with subsequent listening thru time.

[Rip_City]

Back on the city pop wagon for the start of my days off...


Naomi Akimoto (秋本奈緒美) - 4 Seasons



More synthpop driven in contrast to her early jazz-heavy albums.

 

[Rip_City]

More, more, more!!!


Hiromi Iwasaki (岩崎宏美) - 飛行船



Truly one of the most beautiful voices to grace the kayokyoku (歌謡曲) genre. Back in her younger idol years as a teen, she was dabbling with plenty of disco sounds, like on here. Only ¥500 in Osaka (大阪) at Banana Record!!!

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Miranda Lambert - Kerosene

 

[Rip_City]

A few more for the day...


Baker's Shop (w/Haruko) - Hot Line



Kinda just OK, outside of a handful of songs I could use to DJ with.
Here's a fusion/city pop jam tho:

 

[POGunter]

While discussing the new Swiz Comp preorder spotted by @Nee Lewman on Discord Recs I got to thinking about this solid various artists D.C punk compilation benefiting Positive Force D.C from 1989. Not only is Positive Force still viable but apparently they have a 3 day event in D.C. this summer. 35 yrs later and here we still r more in the shadow of the Reagan revolution than ever. Spinning it now.

Fresh Grab interlude
Doechii – Alligator Bites Never Heal

 

[Rip_City]

Another...


Tatsuro Yamashita (山下達郎) - Pocket Music



Underrated, and city pop listeners out of the loop will regret not listening when the reissue comes out (and promptly goes OOS) soon. Tatsuro's stance against streaming has been frustrating.

A cool ¥2750 in the Ochanomizu ward (お茶ノ水) in Tokyo.
