Covid-19 Music… part 24… The Cure, Seventeen Seconds
The Cure, Seventeen Seconds… I was listening to the radio the other day, and they played a few Cure songs, and then they announced that on April 22, 1980 that Seventeen Seconds was released. I remembered that I had a copy and went through my record collection to play it. There are many good reviews …
Covid-19 Music… part 23… Fela Kuti, Zombie
Fela Kuti, Zombie… Tony Allen died today. The one thing that is crazy is newspapers and radio stations that never played or talked about anything that he ever did all of a sudden are his biggest fans. I really wish I had more of his music (if I ever get a job that pays some …
Covid-19 Music… part 22… Polygon Window, Surfing on Sine Waves
Polygon Window (Aphex Twin), Surfing on Sine Waves, Warp Records, 1993… so certain ‘communities’ are a bit close minded and tend to like a what they like. It’s not everyone who lives there but it seems to be impossible to find anyone different. Whenever I go to a record store in one of those communities, …
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 …
