Hello bluesky friends. I have a new vinyl mix for you to listen to. This is a disco/funk mix. Many of these records are very difficult to obtain, please enjoy :3

Sharing art isn't quite the same as creating it in the first place, but it's akin to that in that you are making its exist for others who might not have known it otherwise. It's an act of kindness and generosity. Something wrong with your soul if you never ever do that.

Heart is breaking for the island, every video I see. Stay strong and stay inside, Jamaica. This storm is the most violent and terrifying observed since records have been kept. Climate change is here.

Okay sorry for not posting in forever. I'd promise to post more if I was planning on doing it. Reality is I get through a lot more records when I don't post what I'm listening to. Hope to get back to it soon enough.

Look at this fucking gorgeous album cover though.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Jeff Rosenstock - Hellmode [2024]

Unless something changes, this year will mark the first in many that I didn't make it out to see @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social. Astounding punk songwriter, vocalist, bandleader and performer. Even when listening to other styles of music, 'Papa Jeff' is a polestar.

Tom Skinner put on an electric show tonight at Public Records NYC. The new album is pretty fantastic as well, if you haven't heard. #jazz #livejazz #freejazz #jazzsky

Reagan Youth - It's A Beautiful Day...For A Matinee! [Rel. 2019, Rec. 1983]

Great example of experimentation in NYHC. Lyrically interesting, played with real passion. Higher quality recordings would be nice, but not necessary for me.

Heart And Soul - Standing Room Only [1982]

Nearly impossible to find OGs of this #PFunk gem out of #RVA. Hugo & Philip Thompson, along with James Mosely and others combine for a macho funk experience you won't forget.

Is it any wonder that the party that regularly cancels and rigs their primary process is in a constant state of retroactive bewilderment as to their voting bases motivations and preferences? Unbelievable how out of touch they are.
I hate to say I told you so but…

Tony Allen - Film of Life [2014]

Immediately one of my favorite records. Was saving this one for no reason. Allen is a true master of rhythm, arguably the greatest drummer who's ever lived. A late-career masterpiece from the #afrobeat pioneer.

It's the almost-four-hour ambient/electronic/world set I put together last year: www.mixcloud.com/bullrog/quix...

Spent almost a month auditioning tracks, never played it in the space it was designed for. But it was really fun to dig in parts of my collection that don't typically see much action.

Archie Bell & The Drells - Where Will You Go When The Party's Over [1976]

Bunch of dancefloor bops by a band ostensibly concerned with what happens *after* a party. Sigler, Wansel, McFadden, etc. Tip top sigma sound from the Philly crew

Johnny Colon Y Su Orchestra - Boogaloo Blues [1967]

My favorite latin record, found thanks to a years-old recommendation from my friend ZADO. Johnny is from El Barrio in NYC. The singing on this record is something to behold

Pasteur Lappé- African Funk Experimentals 1979-1981 [2016 Compilation]

Consider this notice to listen to funk and disco music from the African Continent. It will make your life better - if only through compelling movement.

Addis Pablo - In My Father's House (2014)

A love letter to his father's music and the music of his childhood, Addis makes a powerful statement with his first full-length. He pulls from deep waters. Can't wait to hear what comes next.

First Choice - So Let Us Entertain You [1976]

Philly vocal soul at it's finest. It's wild to me how much time you can spend in exclusively Detroit and Philly soul/funk/disco without getting bored.

Just remembered Kendrick's verse on Big Sean - Control. Who allowed him to do that.

Bill Evans - Waltz For Debby [UHQR by Analogue Productions 2024 press]

Trying my hardest not to let these expensive remastered represses become a habit I can't afford. This album is worth the cost and shelf space, though. What a stunner.

Group Inerane - Guitars from Agadez (Music of Niger) [2007]

One of the earlier high quality recordings of the electric guitar 'desert blues' sound that has seen a boost in popularity in recent years with the popularity of groups like Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar and Etrain De L'Aïr.
