Not much to say that hasn’t been said. It’s 2020. It seems I’ve been pouring money I would have used on live music and shows into buying records. It’s actually been quite fulfilling and has helped me rediscover my love for some past music and helped me discover new music as well.
I figured I could just make a recap of some great music I’ve been spinning this year during quarantine as well as what I’ve been most spinning on my turntable.
Don’t have much else to say as nothings going on! Had to cancel a few vacations this year and really not seeing many people or hanging out. I guess I should also mention I finally quit smoking cigarettes. It’s been replaced by the occasional cigar, but overall I’m feeling better! Anyways recap of some great music below:
Telekinesis – Album Dormarion (Nick Ward showed me this one, one of my solo songs reminded him of this album. Great find, and have spun this many times already!)
AC/DC- Album: Power Up. (Probably their best album in 20-30 years!)
Richard Buckner – Album: Bloomed. Great chill music that I started spinning in the fall. Saw a guy in my record collector Facebook group post this album and was curious. Good stuff
Shuggie Otis – Album : Freedom Flight (good stuff, maybe inspired some Jim James solo stuff)
Little Feat – Album: All of them! (Collin had recommended these guys a couple of years ago and it took me forever to get around to checking them out. I saw the record in Silver Platters and decided to give it a spin. I loved it! That led me to buying 3 more records and listening to their greatest hits on iTunes a lot)
Mitzki – Album: Be the Cowboy (This may be my favorite album this year, unique and cool. I love it.
The Beatles – Album: All of them! The Giles Martin Remixes. Absolutely love the production on these. Everything is so TASTY. Possibly the best sounding records I own
Buena Vista Social Club – Got this through Vinyl Me Please. So happy to have been introduced. Genuine, great, feel good music
My Morning Jacket – Album: The Waterfall 2. Runner up for my favorite album I’ve listened to this year.
Blue Oyster Cult: Went through a quick phase of spinning their first two albums. Really just love the sound and guitar tones these captured. Good stuff.
Music Band – Album: Celebration (This is runner-runfnerup for my favorite album this year. A masterpiece if I do say so myself!
