The still-sealed Roxy Music complete discography vinyl boxset I found on eBay for $40 because the guy mislisted it as Rozy Music remains one of my all-time best purchases.

Willie Nelson - Stardust

Background on this one is there is a great segment in the “This Is Pop” music doc series on Netflix where Booker T talks about how it came together and ended selling 5 million copies… Turns out the episode called “When Country Goes Pop” might been my favorite of the series

Quite a score!


And, yes, Roxy Music has aged really well…

Lavoe is one of the great singers. Well worth checking out if you have any interest in salsa and can handle non English lyrics. But you wouldn’t start here…I would recommend a compilation of his work with Willie Colon if you can find one…

For sure. Those super pricey Bryan Ferry tickets from right before the pandemic were worth every cent. Band was a decade too early.

Such a great album and the point where everybody - country music fan or not-realizes what a great singer Willie is….

His version of Stardust is one of the best -sorry for redundancy- of one of the very best American songs…. Up there with Nat King Cole

Kurupt FM - Greatest Hits (Part 1)

still one of the best things i stumbled upon on Netfilx, the People Just Do Nothing crew continue to entertain me and i'm taking chance on getting a copy of this from the UK, because the signed vinyl looks legit fire...

Pretty unsatisfactory trip to record store… did get this for $3 and a Jackson Browne bootleg for the same


Flo and Eddie were in the Turtles…. They did some amazing backing vocals for T Rex… this does remind me a bit of Supergrass which is a good thing
They had a shitload of copies of the new Lorde…

Orla Garland - Woman On The Internet

checking this one after they did a twitter listening party for it and i'm intrigued.. wish i was better at RIYL, but i suspect fans of 90s female rock/pop will enjoy this..
