What Are You Listening To?

[Starsky]

Been listening to these guys a lot… catching up with more recent albums

Tosca is the project from Dorfmeister- of K & D- and Huber



For some reason these guys really hit the spot for me

[GAY,GUY]

This thread, is also . . . a conspiracy theory.

Filling out my Nina collection…just a handful left to go…



This live album from 1974…her last for RCA…her last before she left America… is badass

[Cock Van Der Palm]

Thanks for clarifying.

Yay! Got the new one!

Luckily no singing ..but one track…lots of vocal samples which I don’t mind

I can’t believe these guys are still going… closing in on three decades

They look like the sprockets dudes from SNL on cover

Right now it’s the new Working Men’s Club album Fear Fear

But, earlier it was the new Lizzo “Special” on repeat

Legally I’m not allowed to use the words “ It Slaps” and has the bops, but it does 

Will definitely have “Is Your Birthday Girl” bouncing around in my noggin in a day or so.  Also busting out the 70s funky dance moves for “Everybody’s Gay”

The Heavy Heavy - Life and Life Only

https://theheavyheavy.bandcamp.com/album/life-and-life-only-2

shamelessly lifting from the Guardian review

If you’re going to play retro music well, you have two choices. You put an intriguing spin on your anachronisms. Or you create something that feels like it could be a lost classic from your chosen era. Brilliant new Brighton-based rock quintet the Heavy Heavy do both. There’s an obvious kinship with the comforting close harmony psych, folk and blues of the 60s, but they write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling.

I continue listening to Tosca…a lot…right now the JAC mix cd Souvenirs which is actually better than JAC….

A lot of doo wop and early rhythm and blues rock and roll not so much space jazz

The original Somebody’s in love -which Yo la tengo covered to great effect- is here

Already out of print… why these labels undertake such monumental reissues only to make the pressings so limited I will never understand… I guess they figure people can just buy the downloads and don’t want to sit on stock

I think the demand for this kind of stuff is in the 1000s of people, so why would they do a big pressing...they do have to cover costs, and I'm sure make a little cash
not like a non profit is putting it out

[Starsky]

Agree the initial demand has to be in the thousands but it’s the kind of release that will sell consistently over the years if in print.

Record labels these days -when it comes to vinyl- just do limited runs and don’t keep things in print. And I’m not just talking about non mainstream acts. Releases are all limited and collectible and special. I’ll take it over no vinyl at all but it’s frustrating having to chase out of print titles on discogs or eBay and pay huge markups.

Everyone is a scalper or reseller of everything now. It’s kind of pathetic.
