Seat68 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Listening to one of the albums that came today. Its quite interesting, it is an LP issued to American Airforce bases, they interview artists and play some of their tunes. Its a country music show on 2 sides. I bought 9 or 10 of them basically for one disc. A great little oddity. Foolishly I promised today that I won’t buy any more vinyl until I have listened to my backlog. Unfortunately I made this promise after I put bids in on 5 other LPs. Edited May 26, 2021 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted May 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2021 Matt Berry - The Blue Elephant A change of direction from the introspective Folk stylings of his last album (the superb Phantom Birds) - This is more psychedelic, acid-tinged 60's pop and as usual for MB, it's bloody great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not too familiar with his solo stuff, but I’m a big Jefferson Airplane fan, so thought I’d take the risk and buy it. It features Grace Slick, too, so hoping it’s good. US first press. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Need some suggestions for new music. Struggling to find anything I like outside of my usual preferences such as Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, and Bublé! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to find anything I like outside of my usual preferences such as Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, and Bublé! New or old ? If it’s new music I can’t help you much. We like what we like at the end of the day. Trying to force yourself to like something different probably won’t work . What draws you to like a song? Is it a good riff, or maybe the vocals do it for you? Can it be heavy, or can you listen to more laid back stuff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely love a good riff, not into heavy rock, opera or musicals but will give pretty much anything else a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From both of the above there are also all sorts of associated acts like Mikail Cronin King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (industrious output - released 6 or 7 albums one year) Or there's anything with Ripley Johnson in, Moon Duo, Wooden Shjips (not a typo), Rose City Band, all contain Ripley's trademark guitar, much more trippy than those above a single album recomendation - Frankie and the Witch Fingers - Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 30, 2021 Lee Scratch Perry and Friends - Open the Gate A three album box set from 1989 The price sticker says £11.99 and bought from Probe, in which case I probably paid around a tenner with the discount I got back then. Median price these days in the region of £50 The box is a little worn but the vinyl is mint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
