First time hearing this Moroccan powerhouse. Aziza Galal, Ila Awel Mattabeuna (Sout El Hob, 1976), her debut LP. Holy crap, it's amazing. Discogs only lists 13 records, she retired at 26 in the mid-1980s. Ripping the whole damn record for you kids who'll be listening in Wednesday

Ripping a track from this personal grail for next week's show. Les Frères Mégri, Mahmoud Hassan Younès (OG Philips, 1973). A terrific Moroccan LP that doesn't really quite sound like any other

First listen. Caetano Veloso, Transa (OG Philips, 1972, trifold). "Walk down Portobello Road to the sound of reggae ..." "You look completely different from those straights who walked around on the moon". Perfect dreary light rain gray-blue-silver sky gnawing sadness music

Finally found a good listenable copy of Os Mutantes' s/t first LP (Polyfar, 1986 RE of Polydor 1968 OG). I dunno how Brazilians feel about this album at this late date, but I've always loved it & am loving it even more out of real (small) speakers. I almost forgot they do "Baby"!

Found one of my all-time grails at the @wfmu.bsky.social Record Fair today: A 1st mono of Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circencis (Philips, 1968), one of my favorite compilations ever, first time hearing this music on something other than a computer

I have NOT listened to this exhilarating historic LP nearly enough. Aunt Sally, s/t (2022 Mesh-Key RE + 7" of 1978 concert; OG 1977 Vanity Records). Ripping this and records by several other artists for an all J-women punk-related episode for this coming Wednesday. Totally great!

I have love love LOVED this album for years but finally got it on vinyl. Early all-women Japanese post-punk band Mizutama Shobodan's The Maiden's Prayer Is Dada-Da-Da! (Spittle 2025 RE of Kinniku-Bijo 1981 OG). Ripping it now for an upcoming show

The first listen to MIA, Kala (XL 2021 RE of 2007 OG), I was a bit disappointed. Pulled it out tonight prompted by a Twitter mutual's enthusiasm & am loving it. A reminder that "best music" takes may be not really so much right or wrong but a potential gift if they nudge you to listen again

Wowza. Finally getting around to this notoriousness. The Beach Boys, The Smile Sessions (Capitol, 2025 RE of 2011 OG). Almost bought a bootleg CD attempt to create the album in the late 90s on the street near Columbia University but was flat broke those days & maybe knew I'd eventually get 2 hear it

SOUND ON: Another grail, Yao Su Rong's Love Is Forever (Crown Records, 1971). Granted, she released a dozen other LPs in 1971 alone (and a whopping 40 LPs in 1970), but, yes, this is the one I've always wanted.

I wonder if Shiloh likes this LP? First listen to this gorgeous, dramatic Japanese private press folk album. Gekidan Buraiha, The Modern Bible (First & Last 2025 RE of 1975 self-released OG). The OG released in an edition of 100; this version doubles their impact at 200.

Here's a take no one will second: My absolute favorite Zambian rock group is Blackfoot. They only released 2 sonically similar LPs, Youth Power (1975, Goodson; 2021 RE via Vinyl Me Please; 1976's Millie is the same LP) & 1978's The Foot Steps. Love the rhythm guitar-forward sound
