On today's edition of "on when I pulled up to the office"...

This song always reminds me of this moment walking through the hood to McDonalds on the corner of 1st and 69th...

 

Picked up a couple Smiths 12” classics yesterday ,

 

And a great Bowie compilation ,

 

And this , great album .

 

And Blind Faith self titled first uk pressing,

 

The Four Horsemen...in time when they were riding high...

 

1957

 

and got busy and forgot to post these yesterday:

 

Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

 

The great Lionel Hampton Quartet with Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich. Recorded in 1953 and 1954 in NYC, this is one of the best vibe recordings I've ever heard. Pure mono but the energy in the quartet is dynamic. They really don't make them like this anymore.

 

One for the astronauts...

 

Metaphors: ‘Use them wisely, use them well, and you’ll never know the hell of loneliness’.

Sparks: your favourite band’s favourite band.

 

Sorry listened to it but the title got this stuck in my damn head

 

A gift for me today from my wife a favourite Hendrix album , then a a mix of this & that as our two granddaughters came to see us for a few hours . They love vinyl records when they come over , not sure if it’s the novelty of it but who cares it’s a shared experience & one I’m sure they will remember
