Whats on your turntable tonight?

Janelle Monae- The Archandroid. Outward looking and smart enough to not have to rely on usual young adult stuff for subject matter. An incredible voice adaptable to a wide variety of genres. The styles used in this album are all over the place and she sounds wonderful in all of them. My 1st listen through this album although i've heard tracks on KCRW which got me interested in her music. Great recording. I'm just thoroughly impressed.

Foo Fighters- Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace- Man this sounds good on vinyl! I ordered all the newly released (remastered perhaps) vinyl. I cant wait to hear it! Great band! I'm especialy excited for The Colour and the Shape.

Nutcracker! OSR/Ansermet (crackin' nuts with Ernie)

Art Blakey / Moanin'
Bob Dylan / Nashville Skyline

Putting some time on its my new speed controller - good times.

Picked up several LPs today, spinning them all tonight:

Count Basie / Count Basie At Newport
McCoy Tyner / Echoes of a Friend, Tender Moments
Bud Powell / Bud Powell's Moods
John Coltrane / Bye Bye Blackbird
