Don't tell my wife....
Fell off the wagon today! Stopped in at Plaid Room Records to sell/trade a few records that had accumulated in the "to sell/to trade" pile. I have a gentlemen's agreement with myself to not return from the record store with more records that I took to the record store. Unfortunately, or fortunately, not sure, Plaid Room had a rich bounty of quality used records at some bargain prices. Ended up trading for store credit and came home with more records than I took.
Also stopped by Spiral Groove Records with a little Fluance PA10 phono pre-amp that I received with the Pioneer PLX1000 TT I recently purchased. They sell some used hardware too and I was hoping they would take it in trade for store credit. They did...
So, now I've got to listen to this bunch of new records, cull any I don't plan to keep and add a few more culls from my overflowing record rack. Then, off to Plaid Room and Spiral Groove again to get rid of the evidence... Must restore order to the (audio room) Universe...
I'll be posting the new (to me) records here over the next few days. Here's my starter from the new pile:
Billy Bragg "Talking With the Taxman About Poetry"
BTW, this album contains one of my top 5 favorite songs EVER - "Levi Stubbs' Tears". This sone alone is worth the asking price of the LP.

@slaw
Maybe "Push It Out" is one of those songs that speaks to everyone differently?
Maybe so...
Enjoy the weekend!

Elvis Costello - "King of America"
Simply Outstanding! One of my favorite EC records........
|
@bdp24 @loomisjohnson - Thanks for your follow-up comments regarding Elvis Costello's "King of America". It is an outstanding album.
Just curious, what are your other couple of favorite Elvis Costello albums? I guess my criteria for judging my favorites would be how often I play them. I've got probably 10 different EC albums. The 3 that end up playing on my TT or CD player most often (in no particular order) are:
"King of America"
"Spike"
"All This Useless Beauty" |
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - "The Nashville Sound"
|
Son Volt - "Notes of Blue"
|
@spiritofradio - Streaming The Texas Gentlemen - "TX Jelly". Thanks for posting some new music. |
@spiritofradio - It certainly had some good moments. I'll listen to it again and it might grow on me some more. I look forward to hearing the new album. |
@spiritofradio - I can hear a bit of CTS/Palumbo in it. Good ear...... |
Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group - "Live" |
Budgie - "Bandolier" - Another one that's been in my collection, and rotation, for 40+ years. Weirdly, my sister had this on 8-track. Stuck it in our family's console stereo one day and I was hooked for life. Later, bought it on vinyl from the cutout bin sometime back in the late '70s.
|
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - "Closer To It"
I've owned this record for something like 40 years and over the years I've played it A LOT! Took a spin again tonight and still love it. I always play side B first because I love the versions of "Compared to What?" and "Inner City Blues" that Brian and company lay down.
I'm a sucker for a Hammond B3. What can I say.........
|
@ghosthouse Thanks. I'll check it out...... |
Humble Pie - "Smokin'" - Its, uh........, smokin'........
|
Lucinda William's 20th anniversary re-recording of "Sweet Old World" called "This Sweet Old World".
I was really looking forward to hearing this record as I'm a huge Lucinda fan and I really liked the original record. Now I'm just depressed. Not the reaction I was hoping for......
|
The Guess Who - "Share The Land"
I just picked up a used copy at my LRS. I've never actually heard this album, but I'm familiar with the big hits. Anyway, this record is smokin"! Love it. |
The Beatles - "Let It Be"
|
Nick Lowe and his Cowboy Outfit - "The Rose of England"
|
@bdp24 - I saw Nick Lowe in a solo show last year. It was really fun. He played like 30-40 songs, each about 2 minutes long, in rapid-fire order. Too cool......
I too Love - "The Rose of England". Got it when it came out and I've re-visited it regularly since. I just bought a second copy on Tuesday. You know, just in case...... |
Elton John - "Madman Across the Water"
|
Counting Crows - "August and Everything After"
|
Haircut One Hundred - "Pelican West"
I've owned this record since it was released in 1982. I've always liked it. Anyway, was at my LRS today and picked another copy out of the dollar bin. It was the exact same version I already own, but it was super clean and looked like it needed a good home. Brought it home, cleaned it on the Spin-Clean and gave it a listen. It's nearly perfect. Quiet and no imperfections. Anyway, now I own two nice copies. I'll probably gift this one to my neighbor as I know he's a fan, at least of the 2 hits off of the album.....
|
Jim Capaldi - "Fierce Heart"
Plucked a clean copy from the dollar bin at my LRS today. I feel like I got my money's worth. But just barely.........
|
@slaw - Funny, I was just thinking about "Colors". I bought it the day it was released, played it and put it away. Was just thinking I need to pull it out and give it another spin. |
Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group - "Live" Again! Just listened to it last night. What an album. Wish I could have seen that show..... |
