I sold my copy a few weeks ago on my online store which is nearing 6500 orders (just got 4000th positive feedback) but before I did I shipped it I listened to it and decided it was really good so I bought it again. It’s not a super easy album to find out in the wild but this music is so passé-sadly- that it goes for a pittance on discogs. Anyways the albums between his early 50s breakthrough to the I left my heart in San Francisco “comeback” about 62 seem to have sold very little but I find them really underrated. It makes me sad that this type of music: Jazz vocal performances of the great American songbook might as well not exist to the young but such is life: each new generation buries the previous one and thus was the music of many generations ago now…

I hope you didn’t just buy it back from whoever you sold it to.

No…that’s impossible but would be funny

That time in the 1990s when seemingly overnight every fucking "modern rock" radio station pretended to love his music. One of the weirdest music psyops in history.

This was also the era of those monks putting out Chant, Crash Test Dummies, and Eric Clapton's milquetoast MTV Unplugged on Modern Rock Radio. I felt like everyone was "on something" but me.

Yup….Tony has the record for comebacks….that wasn’t even his last one! Then he had one when he did that album with Lady Gaga….

Personally I welcome that sort of thing….

Within a few decades nobody will remember Billie Holiday! The greatest American singer ever!! Or likely even #2 Sinatra. Glad I will be long gone

How do you do, fellow kids?  Wait - I feel like everyone is "on something" but me...Does anyone else here think that folks are "on something"?

If you are going to reel me in with a record title then this is how to do it.

Vanity Mirror - Super Fluff Forever

from their bandcamp page

The album plays like a cabinet of bedroom pop curiosities, filled with sonic signifiers that point in many directions: ringing six-string power chords, Echoplex-treated flute pirouettes, effervescent vocal harmonies, sepia-toned parlor piano rags, blurry Casio synthesizer mirages, fuzztone melodies, and wistful jangle-pop arpeggios.

I also spent way to much time trying to track one of the many Dream Machines, Vanity Mirror once did some gigs with.  When I figured which one it was it was a trail of a  deleted Instagram account and Bandcamp releases.  It would appear the married couple in the band must have a nasty separation and thus all the content removal.
