Let’s talk about Music, vinyl music to be exact, recently released vinyl and record store finds. We talk about news, interesting shit, while drinking and whatever else is on my mind.
Punk Rock, opinions are like buttholes and I have one, and the beginning of Punk Rock started in 1968 by the hands of Iggy and his trusted Stooges. Lets spin a little of the first three albums that influenced decades of music to come, the most underrated band of all time. And a helluva Artis, long live Iggy and The Stooges
Tubies or not Tubies, that is the question. Do vacuum tubes make a damn difference on the sound? Let's take a quick look at one hell of an Album, MTv Unplugged Pearl Jam. RSD (Record Store Day) release on 2019 on this masterpiece of an Album. Spin this vinyl two different ways, one with a run of the mill, but very decent phono pre amp, then switch it up and insert one hell of a phono preamp. Parks Audio Budgie tube preamp, with couple of matched NOS vintage from 1950's Amperex USA made tubes! Can you say fuck yeah! Oh, and I will be drinking some Sector 7 by Von Ebert Brewing out of Portland, ORBTW Happy BDay Vinyl record, 72 years old!!
Creedence ClearWater Revival, or CCR, in May 28, 1968 put out their first Album. Although this wasn't their first rodeo, this band had a new name and this is the Album that catapulted them into stardom. I spin the 50th aniversary release of this Album, all while drinking a few Olimpia beers to celebrate and quench my thirst!!
One of the best songs of all time, "Little Wing" Take a listen to how the best three guitarist interpret it. Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan! all while drinking a pretty fucking tasting beer from the folks at Melvin Brewing
This COVID 19 Corona virus BULLSHIT has me spinning a very fitting "Infectious Grooves" album and talking about what is going on! Leave the TP alone
The 70's was a great Era of music, amongst some of the best guitarist of all time, Clapton in the one off Derek and the Dominos makes some ballads that have stood the test of time. I am spinning a 1970's Japanese pressing of this album and comparing it to the recent release from Mobile Fidelity Master Recording. Take a listen and tell me what you think...
I take a look at the Mobile Fidelity Master Recording Vinyl album "Lets Get it On" from Marvin Gaye and compare the sound mastering from this amazing record to the one offered up by streaming services
