#VinylSky #FridaySpins Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht, Lotte Lenya The Threepenny Opera Originally performed in 1928, Lotte Lenya wanted to recreate the original with as many of the og performers as she could find in 1958. She did it. It is beyond amazing. She also did the same with Mahogany.

@sikklaffter.bsky.social So, Ventures In Space. My favorite Ventures album. Great essay in LCD. But nobody can tell me... Why the teenage couple in a hotrod at Inspiration Point on the cover? Sure, it's a stary night, but an "in space" theme needs more, no? Or maybe Ive got the wrong Forest Juziuk.

#VinylSky #MondaySpins #Boston #Jazz #IYKYK Among the greatest bands from the heydey of the Boston music scene was Russ Gershon's Either/Orchestra. I think Dial E ('86) & Radium ('88) were the only 2 (of 11) albums released on vinyl on Gershon's Accurate label. Crime noir jazz taxi ride after dark.

The last time I saw Clem Burke he was drumming in an all-star tribute to the Kinks in a benefit show for Autism in 2019. As he sat behind the back-line set and cracked the snare while adjusting the kit, he electrified the room. I've never seen anyone hit harder. RIP 😢🥁 youtu.be/TeN-gY2ZFU8?...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

#ThursdaySpins #VinylSky King Curtis The Best Of/One More Time (1972, Prestige) A great example of music biz posthumous opportunism: Artist dies - back catalog compilation released. Aside from that cynicism, KC's recordings for Prestige in 1961-62 are 🔥🔥🔥

The resignation letter by the 38-year-old lead federal prosecutor in the Eric Adams corruption case, and who he is. We are in a character-testing time. Hagan Scotten just passed his with high honors. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/n...

#VinylSky #WednesdaySpins Franz Schubert Portrait Of The Composer (1970, Angel) I listen to a a fair amount of classical music but mostly modern era (late 19th - 20th century.) I make an exception for Schubert because he was f'n great. Transportive. Hella prolific but died young at only 31yo.

So the Atlantic Council, a profoundly Establishment think tank with a bunch of former CIA directors on its board is funded by “a radical-left political psy op” operated by the U.S. government. Makes total sense. If you’re a drug-addled moron.

Kash Patel raised money for January 6 insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement. I asked him to look those officers in the eye and tell them he was proud of what he did. He couldn't.

#VinylSky #FridaySpins Frank Zappa Lumpy Gravy (1968, Verve) The 1st non-Mothers album, in fact FZ doesn't play on it himself (contractual dodge.) His role was simply composer, arranger, conductor, producer, engineer, tape editor... Among the greatest albums of the 60s.

#VinylSky #WednesdaySpins LescMcCann Layers (1973, Atlantic) Les brought in a rhythm section to lay down basic tracks. Later he overdubbed piano, rhodes, & synth funk-scapes of, IDK...the dive bars of the cosmos? You tell me. This album is a sledgehammer of greatness.

#VinylSky #WednesdaySpins Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic Magnetic Flip (1984, Ace of Hearts) I suppose these days BotM would be labeled "post-rock" or something like that. In 1984 there was nothing. Usually just referred to as a post Mission Of Burma "project" by Roger Miller. Whatever it is...great!
