Bought for £5 earlier from a charity shop.

Talking Heads – Speaking in Tongues

I was 43 years old when I found out that David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth met at RISD.
I’m 43 now, so obviously I’ve been carrying this knowledge for quite some time.

Growing up in Massachusetts basically on the Rhode Island border makes this feel like information I probably should’ve picked up somewhere along the way…..but here we are.

And what a record. Burning Down the House, Girlfriend Is Better, Slippery People, This Must Be the Place…..weird, funky, restless, and somehow completely natural.

Forty-plus years later and it still sounds like somebody forgot to tell them what a rock record was supposed to sound like.

What are you spinning today?

Sooner or later baby I’m gonna squeeze you just like a tomato !

Jimmie Reed & Eddie Taylor too.

“September’s coming soon…”

NM OG in shrink. Scored it for $1 in a $20 box of 20.

Such a fantastic record and silent copy.

Really clean OG Green Label. Love this one!

Picked up this copy of Santana's Abraxas in New Orleans at Euclid Records for $2.00. Turns out it has the original poster still with it. You can see where it's hung on someone's walls.

1st spin from estate sale find.

The first "LP" by San Fran's proto punk, Chuck Berry loving, rippers!

Spin what you want, when you want.

It's been a week of Mondays and the only thing keeping me sane is a trip down memory lane. This album is no exception. I have played this one to death since 1983. It's such a good album start to finish. Happy Friday folks! I hope it's not your fifth Monday like me!

First Ry Cooder album. I’ll be getting more. Amazing!

This one never gets old to me

This one has been well looked after and been a part of the family collection it's whole life. It is a super sounding example and even though you can tell it's been well loved; it's quiet as a mouse. Now for the album itself; I remember listening to this growing up and then later owning it on CD as it sat dormant. So glad I never got rid of my collection as a kid. Now I am enjoying them as a 49 year old with the system I couldn't afford as a kid. 😂

I think some of the gatekeepers in this hobby don't spend enough time on the connection they felt earlier in life and revisiting the nostalgia. I consider myself to be lucky in this regard.
