Currently spinning Bill Evans’ Portraits at the Penthouse. This was a recent Record Store Day pickup and my first Bill Evans album. I knew he played keys on Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, but after reading the liner notes and revisiting his history, I realized he did far more for jazz piano than I expected. Really glad I picked this one up. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #BillEvans #JazzTok #RecordStoreDayni #PortraitsAtThePenthouse #BillEvansTrio #Jazz #JazzPiano #PianoJazz #ModalJazz #JazzHistory #MilesDavis #KindOfBlue #LiveJazz #JazzOnVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #Audiophile #AnalogSound #HiFi #JazzPurist #MusicHistory #UnderratedAlbums #NostrMusic #NostrNotes
Currently spinning Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam, Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits Vol. 2. I bought this LP for a dollar even though it was warped because it still looked clean. It plays clean, so this was a dollar well spent. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #CatStevens #YusufIslam #DollarBinFinds #FootstepsInTheDark #CatStevensVinyl #YusufIslamVinyl #GreatestHits #FolkRock #ClassicRock #SingerSongwriter #SeventiesMusic #VintageVinyl #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicHistory #TimelessMusic #AlbumAppreciation #NostrMusic #NostrNotes
Now spinning Cheryl Lynn’s Instant Love. Produced by Luther Vandross, this 1982 album is actually quite good. While her mainstream pop success waned in the late 1980s, her early hits remain popular, frequently sampled, and clearly influential. The duet with Luther here is a real pleasure to listen to. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #CherylLynn #LutherVandross #ClassicRNB #InstantLove #CherylLynnVinyl #LutherVandrossProduced #RNB #SoulMusic #DiscoSoul #Early80sRNB #DanceSoul #FemaleVocalists #BlackMusicHistory #InfluentialArtists #SampledMusic #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #TimelessGrooves #NostrMusic #NostrNotes
Currently spinning Paul Simon’s Hearts and Bones. It’s hard to believe this album was a commercial flop relative to his other releases. Rolling Stone once concluded that the record is all about heart versus mind, thinking versus feeling, and how those tensions get in the way of making music or love. I completely agree. The songwriting here feels quietly profound and deeply human. #NowSpinning #PaulSimon #VinylTok #ClassicSingerSongwriter #AlbumAppreciation #HeartsAndBones #PaulSimonVinyl #SingerSongwriter #Songwriting #DeepListening #ClassicPop #AdultContemporary #EightiesMusic #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicDiscovery #MusicHistory #AlbumFocused #UnderratedAlbums #NostrMusic #NostrNotes #MusicNerd #ThoughtfulMusic
Currently spinning Eric Clapton’s Just One Night. Love him or hate him, he still recorded some great music. They always say his recorded live performances never fully captured what people saw in person, but I think this one does a pretty good job. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #EricClapton #ClassicRock #LiveAlbum #JustOneNight #EricClaptonVinyl #ClassicRockVinyl #LiveRecording #SeventiesRock #RockHistory #GuitarLegends #BluesRock #RockOnVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicDiscovery #MusicHistory #LiveMusic #ConcertRecording #NostrMusic #NostrNotes #MusicNerd #RockVinyl
Currently spinning The Sunshine Company. Ever heard of them? Neither had I. Another dollar pickup from the bins. They were clearly inspired by the rise of The Mamas and The Papas, and you can definitely hear it in the sound. Is it a great album? Not particularly. Was it worth a dollar? Yup. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #RecordCollectors #DollarBinFinds #SunshinePop #TheSunshineCompany #SunshineCompany #60sPop #SixtiesMusic #VintageVinyl #CrateDigging #VinylFinds #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection #RecordCollector #UsedVinyl #ThriftStoreFinds #MusicDiscovery #RareRecords #ObscureBands #LostAlbums #AnalogSound #VinylArchive #DeepCuts #PsychedelicPop #SoftRock #HarmonyPop #MamasAndPapasInspired #ClassicPop #OldiesButGoodies #RetroVibes #MusicNerd #NostrMusic #NostrNotes
Currently spinning Maynard Ferguson’s MF Horn 4 & 5: Live at Jimmy’s. Sometimes the best spins really do come from the dollar bin.

“…The song itself moves with the same energy. The modulated vocals glide over a tightly arranged instrumental bed that recalls the colorful eccentricity of early MGMT. The comparison is spot on. There is a similar sense of psychedelic cheerfulness stitched to an undercurrent of existential questioning. The hook, built around the repetition of “Gonna prove them wrong,” sticks immediately. It feels less like defiance and more like a personal promise…” . Arlie’s new single “provemwrong” hits with a rare mix of joy, introspection, and indie pop sparkle.

“…Hearing this evolution unfold live at The Wiltern was the moment everything clicked. The Clearing’s songs washed across the room with theatrical scope, but then they pivoted into old favorites that reminded everyone that this band still thrives on grit. When they tore into “Giant Peach”, something in the room snapped awake. It was a reminder that beneath the polish and the beauty, Wolf Alice still has that wild, snarling energy that powered their earliest work. That moment for me was the thread that tied all four albums together. This is a band with no fixed shape. Every album is a new reinvention. Every track is a new version of themselves…” . @dkl finally saw Wolf Alice live after almost a decade of waiting. Their performance at The Wiltern was a reminder for him of how far their sound has traveled and how deeply The Clearing reflects their artistry and self-awareness.

“…Radio Free Alice taps into a new wave and post punk palette that carries a distinctly nostalgic glow. As someone who grew up with artists from that lineage, the feeling is familiar even if the exact parallels are not quite identifiable. There are flashes of the bands who first introduced me to angular guitar work and cool toned vocals, flashes of records that spun during late nights when music felt like an instruction manual for the world. It is not that Radio Free Alice mimics any of those artists. It is that they summon the emotional temperature of that era, the mix of distance and intensity, the clean lines, the sense that a song can brood and dance at the same time….” . Radio Free Alice keep leveling up. Their new single “Rule 31” captures the same restless post punk spark that has been selling out rooms across the UK and US while tapping into a nostalgic New Wave feel that makes their sound hit across generations.
