Hopeless record collector, though I like books, too

No DMs please
This is my second time reading The Passion According to G.H., but I feel like I’m reading it for the first time again.

Love this intro by Clarice Lispector in The Passion According to G.H.

I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it.

This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books? How are they?

Great new record from Illinois #psychedelic band White Shape.

If you’re like me and occasionally need a record that makes you feel like you’re drifting on a river of sound, then check it out.

Rosa Passos & Ron Carter – Entre Amigos

A beautifully recorded album of #BossaNova classics that showcases the immense talents of these two legends.

As an added bonus, my copy was signed by the Maestro himself.

Well played, Connections. I walked right into that one. 😂

I’ve heard a lot of Miles Davis over the past three decades.

But I’ve never heard Miles like this!

This record is pretty wild. And I love every minute of it. 😊

My first time playing an immersive game. I look confused, but I made it to the finish line.

Another Skylight test.

I can’t remember when I took this video (maybe 2017 or 2018).

My family and I used to enjoy watching Captain Phasma and stormtroopers march through Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Sadly, the park no longer has this.

I’m experimenting with @skylight.social, so I’m posting this video from 2018:

Released on this day in 1977:

David Bowie - Low

The first album in the Berlin Trilogy.

Sounds as cutting edge as it did back then.

More great jazz guitar 🎸

But instead of the three-pronged attack of Dark Magus, we have the smooth, bluesy sound of Kenny Burrell.

It’s been a while since I’ve played this one. I forgot how crazy good it is, especially once the third (!) guitarist gets into the act. 🎸🎸🎸

Miles Davis - Dark Magus

You inspired me to give my copy a spin. After the day I had today, I could use some “Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-are.”

Kicking off Sunday morning with one of my all-time favorites.

And even though the mono mix is superior, I still love the original stereo mix.

My last spin for 2024 will be this excellent record:

For some reason, on this #NewYearsEve, I’m not thinking about 2025. I’m thinking about Y2K. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since that whole thing.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year. 🎉🎊🥳

This was Hank Mobley’s last session for Blue Note and as a leader, and it wasn’t released for 10 years.

It’s too bad—even after 25+ albums, he was still innovating. He could have been a force in the 80s, when young Jazz musicians found inspiration from the hard bop masters.

I know, I posted this one before, but every time I listen to it, I’m amazed that it was shelved for 36 years.

It shows how high Blue Note’s standards were back then, though it probably bummed a lot of musicians to see their work unreleased for decades.

This came up in my Facebook memories. I posted it 11 years ago today. I don’t remember where I found the photo (maybe Tumblr, which I’m no longer on) or where it was taken. But I still get a kick out of it.

My favorite 2024 release:

Blushing - Sugarcoat

I loved this Austin group’s first two albums and the Tether/Weak reissue, but they went to the next level with this record.

Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

For some reason, I had never seen Midnight Run until today. What a great movie!

My favorite New Year’s record (it was recorded December 31, 1969, and January 1, 1970):

I have six of these Deutsche Grammophon Original Source vinyl reissues. This one might be my favorite.

Not only is it a fantastic performance, but the sound is so detailed, you feel like you’re in the studio with Seiji Osawa & the BSO.
