Salutations™!!

So, as I said yesterday, I’m going to attempt to write my Monday blog post about the week of “my” listening. Per usual, this week’s streaming listens comes from Discogs’ shuffle feature and it has to be an album that I own on vinyl (outside of peripheral things like Beeswax Vinyl & More listens), that way it’s like listening to my vinyl but with headphones from my computer whilst The BCPF works 10 feet away. Here’s the list (this is in order of listens):

  • Various – How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (The Original Broadway Cast Recording)
  • Pink Floyd – Animals
  • Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um
  • Judas Priest – Unleashed In The East (Live In Japan)
  • Peter Gabriel – Peter Gabriel I (Car)
  • Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison – My Fair Lady
  • Leonard Bernstein – West Side Story (Original Sound Track Recording) I don’t know why I had three musical soundtracks this week. I’m okay with that.
  • 10,000 Maniacs – In My Tribe
  • Billy Joel – Glass Houses
  • KC And The Sunshine Band – KC And The Sunshine Band
  • Elton John – Too Low For Zero
  • The Byrds – Younger Than Yesterday
  • Paul Simon – Graceland
  • Peter Gabriel – So — Yes it is my favorite album of all time and I was elated that it showed up!

So, all the records that I had in Discogs for this, I believe they all came from Underdog Records. 99% of my records came from there.

Again, check out Underdog Records’ social and web stuffs. Buy records. Use Discogs to keep track of your collection and use it’s groovy (see what I did there) shuffle feature.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

Before we went to Hoots Beer Company‘s anniversary/Oktoberfest release, The BCPF and I still made our routine morning happen, including walking, farmers’ market, Mary’s Gourmet Diner and, yes! Underdog Records. We got some good stuff, too. Here’s what we picked up!

  • The War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding (been hearing a lot of good things about this album and had to have it, I dug it, The BCPF loved it, new)
  • Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue (180g, mono, audiophile version of the greatest selling jazz album of all time, #12 on RS Top 500 of All Time, new)
  • Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um (I wanted something that was comparable to Wayne Shorter’s Speak No Evil because I really dug that, Jonathan recommended this, new)
  • Pink Floyd – The Final Cut (previously purchased but still sealed, so I can’t really say used, picked up by The BCPF, “new”)
  • Eurythmics – Touch (#492 on RS Top 500, VG++)
  • Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison (#88 on RS Top 500, VG)
  • Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris – Trio
  • Gipsy Kings – Mosaïque
  • Rosemary Clooney – Come On-A My House
  • Van Halen – Diver Down
  • Ravel / d’Indy– Munch / Boston Symphony, Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer – Concerto In G / Symphony On A French Mountain Air 
  • Dan Fogelberg – Nether Lands (VG+ in the $1 bin, previous owner took care of this)
  • Dan Fogelberg – Phoenix (VG+ in the $1 bin)
  • Dan Fogelberg – Captured Angel (VG in the $1 bin)
  • Orchestra And Chorus Of Henry Mancini, The – Dear Heart And Other Songs About Love (I have come to learn that I really, really, really dig me some Henry Mancini)
  • Henry Mancini, His Orchestra And Chorus – Big Screen – Little Screen (More Mancini)
  • Philip Bailey – Continuation
  • Tom Jones – Live In Las Vegas
  • Tom Jones – Tom
  • Duke Ellington – Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Ladies (former WFDD copy, VG++ in $1 bin)
  • Laura Branigan – Self Control 
  • Jefferson Airplane – The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane
  • The Monkees – More Of The Monkees

So, yeah, a good haul. We didn’t get to listen to as much as we usually do on Saturday, but we didn’t have a lot to wash because most of the used stuff was in really good shape, and Jonathan had cleaned some to gauge his pricing. While we were there, a young lady came in and asked Jonathan about getting into vinyl. I get excited about that. She was probably early- to mid-twenties. Jonathan is great for that kind of guidance. And, when you get into the collecting aspect, use Discogs to archive, and chronicle your collection.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
