Today we got Joe Cocker's 1969 With A Little Help From My Friends! Wonderful music for a relaxing summer evening, im really vibing with this one!! Up there with that Bowie!
One of the better preserved albums thus far in my project, we got 1979's Desolation Angels by Bad Company, nice gatefold, inner sleeve is still all glossy feeling and nice, this is gonna be a fun one!
We got some Zappa today, the *three disc* album Thing-Fish from 1984, I've known about this one for a long time cuz well, that cover is hard to forget and it's the 'thickest' entry in my inheritance, its one of 2, maybe 3 box sets(depends what you call a box for one of em). I have close to no idea what to expect, I know I like Zappa from earlier in this project at least!
Two more records from The Who today, 1979 soundtrack to Quadrophenia, and the 1980 reissue of Odds & Sods, yet more fun for today🥰
Browsed the record store punk cds for the first time, got some good stuff i think, looking forward heavily to both!
Oh boy im excited for today, I know my uncle left me lots of The Who, the whole family enjoy their music, I grew up going to high school with best of cds from them, so this 1982 original of It's Hard will be enjoyed thoroughly, as will this 1969 original of Three Dog Night 'Captured Live at the Forum' im sure. So far my uncle has left me things i enjoy and the music is only getting better each day/record(save that Bowie earlier on, thats still top tier)
I hate to alarm you all but there seems to be a Stranger out front knocking
Apparently my uncle really liked The Doors so we got Strange Days 1974 reissue, and Morrison Hotel 1983 reissue on deck today, should be fun, enjoyed the other day when I had a Doors compilation spinning at least💁♀️
Today i wanted to listen a little extra, so we got an original 1975 Spirit of America from the Beach Boys and a 1975 Led Zeppelin IV repress spinning, them Boys up first
I am a *VORACIOUS* reader if im doing so regularly, page count weekly being 4 digits usually. I started this today and im not 30 pages in yet, odd feeling. Simultaneously im still connecting and finding value in each absorbed word. I can see why people told me its a bit life changing, and The Stranger should be here tomorrow🖤
Up on today's docket, Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Over-nite Sensation, original 1973 issue, and Rock and Roll Over by Kiss, original 1976 issue! Excited to actually listen to the Zappa, I respect the guy but the music is new to me
Picked these up today, a rarity in my local thrift, music ill actually listen to in good condition! Super excited to listen though the Cotton Club one, I looooove some of that older stuff
3 records on deck(at least) for today's listening through my inherited collection. 1978 reissue of a Doobie Brothers compilation, 1979 issue of some live Beatles recordings, and a 1981 compilation of Queen!
Looked up the numbers on this one before posting, it is a 1980 reissue, but this is record two of the 275+ inherited from my uncle, listening to at least 1 a day. Today aims to have a few more played this evening but im starting the morning with what I know is a classic, and im not at all surprised my uncle was a fan of Bowie lol. Kind of amazing how music can cut right through grief huh, feels nice to celebrate the many ive lost thru tunes. OKAY that all being said, never heard this album full through before, would be one I return to for sure, would go good while reading a light sci-fi book!
I inherited a lot of music from my uncle years ago, finally going through at least 1 a day to see what I actually enjoy. So far, this one is pretty good! On the casual end of my rock taste
I mostly listen to music on CD these days, so how's all my current jazz collection? Evans is my favorite clearly but I do love me some Thelonious Monk!
I got this tattoo at 19 years old. 13 years later, fairly recently, I finally found it on vinyl in the wild. Wore through my old cd copy way long ago
I got these off the shelf at the record store kind of at random, they caught my eye being so stark white among colorful cds, and they are right up my alley! Im still finishing up CLPPNG but have no doubt a scifi concept album like i think the other is will be even more my thing. Thing is, I dont remember ever hearing about these guys before. Is that me being a newbie or are they just kinda under the radar?
Im not 'new' exactly to Camus, ive loosely followed his philosophy for decades at this point *but I've never actually read his work*. I got The Myth of Sisyphus just recently, should I be prepared for anything? I'm a voracious reader, but I've seen his work can be slow? Other than that all I really know is I feel like the book will help me in a sense, I know enough about him to know that
Currently playing CLPPNG by Clipping, but I got some new Bill Evans and Miles Davis today too. Music has been a huge soothing force lately, hip-hop/rap and jazz have been huge for keeping me sane especially. Gonna be inheriting more early next week, grandpa recently passed and stuff will be organized starting Monday but for now, I needed some fresh tunes to keep me going. Also the ONN rugged Bluetooth speaker is kinda underrated, this thing does so good with most music, has a small issue with some metal but that's it really. Not top of the line but DAMN
