Vinyl!

Just a quick note: I discovered vinyl. And I LIKE it.


Having 2 or 3 vinyl LPs and no record player lead me to buy one some weeks ago. Now I find myself browsing flea markets and the internet for old LPs. What the heck? :-)

Already spinning on my record player:
  • Mike Viola - Hang On Mike / Lurch / Melon
  • Frank Sinatra - Live At The Sands / In The Wee Small Hours
  • Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
  • Queen - The whole discography (my favorites: Innuendo / Queen II / Made In Heaven / News Of The World / A Day At The Races)
  • Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
  • Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning (yes, I like this one!)
  • Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around
  • The Beatles - 1
  • Elvis Presley - 30 # One Hits
  • Jim Boggia - Misadventures in Stereo (Mono Version!)
Coming soon:
  • Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55
  • Air - Moon Safari / Pocket Symphony
  • Freddie Mercury & Monserrat Caballe - Barcelona
  • Ron Sexsmith - Time Being
Any suggestions for LPs?

    The vinyl version of 'Hang On Mike' is absolutely beautiful... I really want to pick up 'Melon'.

    If you're enjoying the anologue sound from pieces of vinyl, may I suggest Steely Dan's 'Aja'? It sounds superb on the classic, "old fashioned" format.

    sod the original abc pressing of aja and get the 2007 cisco pressing, it's expensive but there's no better way to hear this album.

    my favorite steely dan album is gaucho (and it has the best production quality of all steely dan albums from the classic period 72-80)

    the best sounding pressing of gaucho is the 2003 hybrid sacd pressing and it sounds stupendous.

    and yes, probably a notch better than the vinyl version

    do you really want snap, crackles and pops when you could have the exact same playback quality everytime from an sacd?

    sacd was set to replace vinyl and it's a damn shame it hasn't

Jason Falkner - Biography & Discography

There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans? One of them is Jason Falkner . To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

Rooney - Kids After Sunset (The Lost Album): Interview with Taylor Locke & Ned Brower (Bandmates from Rooney)

Bandmates Taylor Locke and Ned Brower took the time to talk about a special chapter in the history of Rooney : the "lost" second album, Kids After Sunset ! I reached out to both of them separately and asked if they could answer a few questions - check it out below. Over the past 20 years, aplenty songs from this album surfaced online and were shared through blogs, fans, and social media. These were mostly demos or low-quality recordings, but in 2024, a seemingly final version of the album appeared on the internet! Kids After Sunset - cover art concept PPS:   Around 2004, Rooney recorded a significant number of songs for their intended second album,  Kids After Sunset - at least twenty-five tracks, as far as I know. The plan was for most of these songs to be included on the album. However, it is said that the record label rejected nearly all of them, claiming they didn’t like any of the tracks, and instructed the band to start from scratch with a completely new album. I...
