Covid-19 Music… part 21… Antibalas, K-Leg/R.O.C
Antibalas, K-Leg/R.O.C, Purpose Records… so I was going through some records and for whatever reason I forgot about this one. The B-side (or the that side), is a song that is so good that you could listen to it first thing in the morning, every day, for the rest of your life… When I tried …
Covid-19 Music… part 20… Monk’s Dream
The Thelonious Monk Quartet, Monk’s Dream, Columbia records… Usually when I’m in a particular good mood I like putting this album on. Lately, I haven’t been too happy and thought that if I played this, everything would be better. I guess we will see if things get better. This is my favourite song from this …
Covid-19 Music… part 19… Godzilla
DJ Slugo, Godzilla Remixes, Databass records, 2003… This old job that I had wasn’t always that fun. No matter how awful it was, the drive home usually made it better since this one radio station always played some crazy ghettotech tracks like this classic… I remember that I bought this at Record Time on 9 …
Covid-19 Music… part 18… The Supremes, Where did our love go
The Supremes, Where did our love go, Motown Records… So I have been going through my records and noticed that I have two copies of this album with slightly different covers. Both records are the same, and both are great. I think it’s worth having two copies as a just in case type of thing. …
Covid-19 Music… part 17… Al Green, Greatest Hits
Al Green, Greatest Hits… Today (April 13th) is Al Green’s birthday. I remember years and years ago I went to one of his concerts. I really enjoyed myself, even though I was slightly out of my element. Pretty much anything on this album is perfect. So any song is great… This is what things were …
Covid-19 Music… part 16… Mowax, Excursions into HipHop
Mowax – Excursions into Hip Hop – 1995… A long time ago I found this used on eBay for a very low price. It seemed that no one bid on it so I was happy grab it. Its a nice box that contains 5 12″s of which these two are my favourites. Olde Scottish – …
Covid-19 Music… part 15… Squarepusher, Conumber
Squarepusher – Conumber EP – Spymania Records – 1995… So years and years ago, I bought a copy of this record and really enjoyed it. At the time I was living in this place with these huge windows and didn’t have any curtains. Anyways, I left a copy this ‘classic’ on my turntable and then …
Covid-19 Reading… part 2… D3 DataViz
So one of my projects right now involves plotting differential equations. I want to make an interactive web-based tool to play around with the solution to a set of differential equations. In my recent course we used a few different data visualization tools and they all had some issues: Matplotlib… can only make static graphs …
Covid-19 Music… part 14… Fun 45s
So a few 45s today. I don’t have as many as I would like to have since I don’t always have the patience to go through the piles and piles of them at some stores. I was able to find samples of most of them on youtube except for single by The Go-Devils. If anyone …
Covid-19 Music… part 13… MadLib, Shades of Blue
MadLib, Shades of Blue, Blue Note… I used to play this crazy trivia game online and the prize was Amazon gift cards. So I got this album for free from for being a trivia master. There are so many pictures of Madlib out there with these crazy glasses. Maybe after the Rona is over I’m …
