| New In 2025 This reissue actually had a release date of 12-13-24, but I just found out about it. It’s Little Richard’s 1970 "comeback" album on Reprise Records entitled The Rill Thing, and from the report I heard (plus descriptions of it from it’s original... | |
| Favorite Cover Album I was standing at the stove this morning drinking a Bloody Mary and making breakfast while thinking about David Lynch (I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos regarding him since his death), when out of the blue The Band’s covers album Moond... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I agree with you about the IKEA KALLAX shelving units. If you push on them from one side, the whole unit bends! If I was forced to use the KALLAX, I would install support bars across the rear. The KALLAX is also a little too deep for my liking,... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) @stuartk: Yep, I have Woodstock Vision, both the original 1994 edition by Continuum Publishing, and the 1996 edition that Landy published himself (LandyVision, Inc.). Both are 128 page paperbacks, with front covers different from each other and... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) The Band's second album. I would say that, wouldn't I? | |
| Favorite Cover Album This one took no thinking: Get It by Dave Edmunds, released in 1977. Dave is not much of a songwriter, so all his albums contain lots of songs written by others. That might sound like a major shortcoming, but Dave regularly delivered versions o... | |
| A great has died Here's a great little video about The Band (and Garth Hudson in particular) posted on YouTube about a year ago. The thoughts and feelings expressed by the video's maker align very closely with mine. https://youtu.be/eLBux4PNvl8?si=ij6_vJHXB... | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? @roxy54: Another thing we agree about is the Kinks’ Village Green album. I would have a hard time choosing it over Face To Face or Something Else, loving all three in their own way. Luckily I don’t have to! I got myself the expanded boxset ver... | |
| Axiom to remember @rvpiano: And you call yourself an audiophile! As Mazzy (Vinyl Community member and YouTube content provider Norman Maslov) puts it, "It’s the music, stupid." | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? The Kinks run of albums from 1966 through 1972 (Face To Face, Something Else By The Kinks, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur---Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire, Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround P... | |
| A great has died And so it ends. The oldest of the five members of The Band (born in 1937), Garth didn't smoke or drink. No one plays organ as did Garth, a true original. He was also a very interesting pianist, and a decent sax player. I'll be listening to al... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters Steve Earle: "Shania Twain is the highest paid lap dancer in Nashville." A good joke, but I enjoyed (past tense) Shania for what she was: Pop music with a hint of Country mixed in. Plus production by Mutt Lange, also producer of some AC/DC ... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter The Degritter Mark II provides a lot the HumminGuru does not. The most attractive to me is the Degritter's ultrasonic frequency of 120kHz compared to the HumminGurus's 40kHz. 120kHz produces much smaller exploding bubbles compared to those prod... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @onhwy61: Your Sonny Boy Williamson (no offense intended, but it’s not Williams) quote is missing a few words which are important in making his point. His statement was "The English boys want to play the Blues so bad, and that’s just how they d... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @onhwy61: Ghost World, a favorite movie of mine! Another great scene is the one in which the young girl asks Steve Buscemi’s character if the R. Crumb album is good. "Naw, that one’s not so great." Director Terry Zwigoff and Crumb are of course... |
