Making & listening to music is mostly about being surprised. Like finding shapes in clouds. That's about as perfect as it gets.

A wonderful album that has everything against it on paper - yet another 60s vocalist who sounds like Mick Jagger, a few tracks that may not have the band on them and a few others with a vocalist brought in by the producer. #chocolatewatchband #psychrock #garagepunk #psychedelia

If you say “cassette culture” in 2025, you get tired Gen X comments about winding tapes with pencils. It was much much more - pre-dates distribution of your own vision in this century. Still a pile of unknown music. Must reads - OP and Sound Choice mags. #cassetteculture #homemade #bedroomproducer

Peter Gabriel’s storyline is beside the point here. The emotional roller coaster that was his life at this time comes through nakedly. At any given moment the entire performance works - 4 very long sides, with only the 4th seeming rushed. #genesis #prog #vinylcommunity

Keeley Forsyth - Limbs -2022. Ambient darkwave classical pop or something. Thoughful, introspective, emotional. “Silence” really hits, then you want to flip it over again. #ambientpop #keeleyforsyth #vinylcommunity

Venetian Snares x Daniel Lanois - Glitched-out bliss or blissed-out glitch. 2018 vibes. Expected and unexpected. Deep listening and patience rewarded. #daniellanois #venetiansnares #vinylcommunity #breakcore #texture #pedalsteel #flashcore #ambient #glitch

I absolutely adore everything recorded from Freak Out up until Chunga, but this might have the edge of including most Frank facets of the period with the exception of the Rats/Weenie vibes. You don’t know rock music until you know this album from cover to cover. #zappa #money #edit #vinylcommunity

Cassettes - simple push button conveniences - are perfect for drone music. This is of the blended guitar, synth and effects variety. The label is Mahorka and as far as I can tell, they sent this along free to me along with a purchase. I love it. #drone #cassette #mahorka #accasari #julyinjanuary

A new copy - this one didn’t survive my 90s vinyl purge. A work like this might only make sense on vinyl. GBV’s method of side long suites that cover many moods works well with a flip break in between. I believe this LP was their first on Matador. #guidedbyvoices #alienlanes #vinylcommunity

As one not fond of compilations, I hold this in high esteem. Only 2 pops from Forever Changes, it is the perfect companion. Some from the 2 LPs prior and from the album after, this scores high due to the high quality of 45s also included, yet still in digestible length. #love #comp #vinylcommunity

The Strokes first album, VMP edition. Not one bad track and a good throwback from the 2000s to a rawer early 90s time. Masterfully delivered as a puzzle where every piece you pick up is always the next one you need. #strokes #vinylcommunity #newyorkcitycops

Post-rock or experimental? I guess it doesn’t matter. This is lots of fun - closest thing I can think of is Frith/Massacre - but certainly not one dimensional. That’s why I lean towards post. #rawfish #crudo #cd #experimentalmusic #postrock

Zimoun’s not a name I know but I can tell you that this is one cool drone album. Waves of organic sound and, for me, a needed and cozy escape on the day I listened. Who here doesn’t need an escape? #zimoun #modular #drone #fields #vinylcommunity #simonhugli #eacape

Arising from the Zodiak Free Arts Lab in W Berlin, eventually as Cluster, the Cluster ‘71 LP is a showcase for long, atmospheric Kosmische pieces. This 45 contains short edits of two of those pieces and is quite a different experience. A new way to listen. #cluster #cluster71 #vinylcommunity #45s

The Nazz III was something that seemed like a real Nazz album but was released after Rundgren left the group. It’s mainly leftovers from their second album. It hangs together pretty well, though, with a few cases of filler keeping it from being too great. #nazz #toddrundgren #vinylcommunity #vinyl
