The Wicked soundtrack

SRV In Step. I've been to that record shop. Record shops are an absolute must when I visit places.

Nice! Waterloo and Piranha are my go to right now.

This SRV was one of the first records I put in my new collection.

SRV is a solid one to have.

I've been raiding the western movie score section of the record stores I have been going to. Picked up Duel at Diablo.

not a on turntable, but the last album i listened to straight through (this past Tuesday) was "Bat Out of Hell".

(side note: I have a thumb drive with all my music on it. usually it's on "Shuffle" but I was thinking how digital music and particularly streaming music has changed our relationship to it. We used to, out of convenience AND tradition, listen to sides of albums or full CDs at a time. Now everyone has their own radio station playing (usually) a random mix of favorites. That's so different from listening to an album, with songs curated (i.e. selected for the album and put in their particular order) by the artist. The experience of a great album (or album side) was more than just the sum of its parts. I consciously decided to listen to albums on my last road trip to College Station and back. My wife and I listened to 3 John Hiatt albums (Stolen Moments, Slow Turning and Perfectly Good Guitar) and then Born to Run by Springsteen, Naked by Talking Heads, and finally Bat out of Hell by Meat Loaf.

Last Vinyl i played was Hell Bent for Leather on Christmas Eve. Got it and a couple of others at this little record shop in Santa Fe last month

You just described what hooked me back into vinyl. Bought an old console stereo as a furniture piece then discovered the turntable in it still worked. Thought I would buy 4 or 5 albums, tops, and only play occasionally for nostalgia. Right away, I realized I really liked listening to a whole album all the way through.

On my turntable is Leon Bridges new one "Leon"

Yeah, I think I'm appreciated the "album" a whole lot more.

Hearing the music as it was wanted by the artist.

Putting on a record with great care and patience is very cathartic. It makes you slow down and listen the way artists intended (like a book). Listening to records slows down the world and transports you to the very emotions you felt when you heard the song/record for the first time.

Great album from my dad.

It's cool hearing songs come on that bring back childhood memories. For example, my dad use to play The Zoo from the Scorpions a lot….now I know which album it's on.

This morning was Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers".

Outkast's ATLiens

That song is amazing.

Last 3 were "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs, "Blue Train" by Johm Coltrane, and "Exile on Main Street" by The Rolling Stones! There's nothing like putting on a vinyl!

Bob Dylan Blonde on Blonde
Watched A Complete Unknown yesterday and reminded me how special and unique Dylan and his music are.
