Currently spinning Aviary’s self-titled debut. I found this promo copy at a grab-what-you-can sale and had never heard of this band before. Ended up having a lot of fun with this record. With so much music released over history, albums like this make me wonder what else I’ve never heard and what might still be sitting on record label shelves. #NowSpinning #Aviary #MusicDiscovery #HiddenGems #PromoCopy #DebutAlbum #UnknownBands #DeepCuts #CrateDigging #VinylFinds #VintageVinyl #ClassicRock #70sRock #AlbumListening #UnderratedRecords #VinylTok #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #MusicHistory #TurntableVibes #LostMusic #ObscureRecords #MusicNerd

Currently spinning this Japanese import of an Ike and Tina Turner compilation. I realized I didn’t have enough Tina Turner on vinyl, and when I saw this for five bucks, I had to pick it up. I love Japanese vinyl. The packing of this 1972 release is so dope. Just bummed this copy didn’t have its original obi strip. #NowSpinning #IkeAndTinaTurner #TinaTurner #VinylTok #JapaneseVinyl #JPNPressing #ObiStrip #VinylFinds #DollarBinFinds #CrateDigging #VintageVinyl #ClassicSoul #SoulMusic #RNB #RockAndSoul #MusicHistory #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #Audiophile #TurntableVibes #AlbumAppreciation #MusicDiscovery #TimelessMusic #ImportedVinyl #UsedVinyl #VinylLovers

Currently spinning the Steve Miller Band’s Fly Like an Eagle. You can’t go wrong with a classic. #NowSpinning #SteveMillerBand #FlyLikeAnEagle #ClassicRock #VinylTok #70sRock #RockClassics #AlbumAppreciation #ClassicAlbums #RockHistory #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #TimelessMusic #TurntableVibes #RockOnVinyl #MusicLovers #VintageVinyl #AlbumListening #SoundtrackOfLife #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Now spinning “Let Go” by the Charlie Byrd Quartet. If you ever see a Charlie Byrd LP in the bargain bin at a thrift store, you pick it up. It may cost you a dollar or two, but they all sound like a million bucks. #NowSpinning #CharlieByrd #JazzGuitar #BargainBinFinds #ThriftStoreVinyl #CharlieByrdQuartet #LetGo #JazzOnVinyl #CoolJazz #BossaNova #BrazilianJazz #GuitarJazz #JazzHistory #AudiophileJazz #VintageVinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #HiFi #MusicDiscovery #TimelessMusic #JazzPurist #UnderratedRecords #TurntableVibes

Currently spinning The Great Impersonator by Halsey. I’ve always enjoyed her music, but I gained a whole new level of respect when I learned the concept behind this record. Each song is inspired by an artist who influenced her, and it’s fascinating to hear how she writes within those frames of reference while still sounding like herself. This is a true concept album that rewards multiple listens. It did well commercially and critically, but as a music nerd, I think it deserved even more shine. This is exactly the kind of album I love sinking my teeth into. #NowSpinning #Halsey #TheGreatImpersonator #VinylTok #ConceptAlbum #AlbumListening #MusicNerd #PopWithDepth #Songwriting #AltPop #ModernPop #WomenInMusic #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #AlbumAppreciation #DeepListening #MusicDiscovery #UnderratedAlbums #TurntableVibes #MusicHistory #CreativeAlbums #PopOnVinyl

Now spinning HAIM’s latest album I Quit. Picked this up at my discount dealer and grabbed a copy for eight bucks. This album didn’t get a lot of hype when it dropped, but I think it’s a solid record and a solid score on vinyl if you ask me. #NowSpinning #HAIM #IQuit #VinylTok #IndieRock #ModernRock #AltPop #IndieMusic #WomenInMusic #VinylFinds #RecordCollectors #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #AlbumAppreciation #UnderratedAlbums #MusicDiscovery #TurntableVibes #IndieOnVinyl #MusicLovers #LAArtists #ContemporaryMusic

Currently spinning Kris Kristofferson’s Me and Bobby McGee, the reissue of his self-titled debut album. I spotted this in the dollar bin and had to grab it because I had never actually heard his original recording of “Me and Bobby McGee.” I’ll probably hang onto this copy until I come across an original pressing. #NowSpinning #KrisKristofferson #MeAndBobbyMcGee #ClassicCountry #SingerSongwriter #CountryMusicHistory #OutlawCountry #70sCountry #SongwritingLegend #VinylTok #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #DollarBinFinds #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #AnalogSound #MusicHistory #AlbumReissue #OriginalPressingHunt #TimelessSongs #CountrySoul #Americana #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

I love old-school liner notes because of the stories they tell about the music. Currently spinning a piece by Heitor Villa-Lobos, a true master. His composition O Trenzinho do Caipira from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2 was inspired by a train ride he took in 1931 transporting berry pickers and farm laborers between villages in Brazil. In the arrangement, you can hear the train squeak, chug, and bump along. An incredible piece of music, and it’s a shame how many listeners today may never fully appreciate this Brazilian giant. #NowSpinning #VillaLobos #ClassicalMusic #MusicHistory #LinerNotes #HeitorVillaLobos #BrazilianMusic #ClassicalDiscovery #ProgramMusic #OrchestralMusic #BachianasBrasileiras #OTrenzinhoDoCaipira #ComposerLife #MusicStorytelling #AnalogListening #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #Audiophile #HiFi #TimelessMusic #CulturalHistory #MusicEducation #DeepListening #UnderratedComposers #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Suddenly, There’s Gogi Grant. Colored vinyl from the 50s just hits and sounds different. So many talented vocalists from that era, and her voice is a perfect reminder of how timeless that style can be. #NowSpinning #GogiGrant #ClassicVocalist #50sMusic #VintageVinyl #ColoredVinyl #ClassicPop #TraditionalPop #VocalJazz #GreatAmericanSongbook #GoldenEraMusic #FemaleVocalists #OldSchoolCool #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #TimelessMusic #AlbumAppreciation #RetroVibes #MusicDiscovery #VinylLifestyle #NostrMusic #NostrNotes
