#DecVinylWorship Day 15: An Unexpected Record Store find. One day I walked into Sound Revolution and found Tool’s Fear Inoculum on vinyl in the bins. This was unexpected because such a release is not supposed to exist, at least officially. It has a cool alternative album cover for a bonus surprise.
It’s a Day 30 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Favorite Album Of The Year. Bob Dylan - Rough And Rowdy Ways (Columbia, 2020) Murder Most Foul took me by surprise, even though I’ve been waiting for a new album of original songs since Tempest in 2012. Surely this is some odd outtake, I thought, and we won’t get anything else. Then came False Prophet and I started getting really excited! By the time I heard the whole rough and rowdy thing I was overjoyed - and amazed and inspired by his bottomless well of creativity and sheer mastery of everything he tries. My #1 album of 2020! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @bobdylan @columbiarecords #bestof2020 #bestmusicof2020 #bestalbumsof2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcXwZTAJQZ/?igshid=1rjicp8aaj6xi
It’s a Day 29 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Discovery Of The Year. Aoife Nessa Frances - Land Of No Junction (Basin Rock, 2020) At #9 of my Top 25, this is the highest ranking album by an artist who was completely unfamiliar to me when the year began. My eagle eye spotted the name Cian Nugent (he produced) in a write-up about it and I was immediately intrigued as I loved his album Night Fiction. My instincts were correct, as I quickly fell into a swoon - which has yet to abate - over her misty, ethereal brand of psych-folk. I also like the textured, slightly handmade feel of the package and appreciate the rock-solid pressing, which just sounds glorious. If you haven’t listened yet, you still have a day or two to make YOUR discovery of the year! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @aoifenessafrances @basinrock #indiefolk #psychfolk #folkrock @ciannugent 📷 @karencapucilli https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZxIt7gXdb/?igshid=5cotf4j6f3zk
It’s a Day 28 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Nicest Pressing Of The Year. Jonathan Wilson - Dixie Blur (Bella Union, 2020) Not only is this an exceptional pressing, but the whole package, from the yellow and orange discs, to the die-cut, silver foil cover, to the booklet of lyrics and credits, is worthy of note. The artwork, by Andrea Nakhla (Wilson’s fiancée) is also gorgeous, perfectly capturing the themes and emotions of the songs within. Need I also mention that I love the music? After all, Dixie Blur was my #4 album of 2020! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @nongmopaleovapedaddy420 #jonathanwilson @bella_union #americana #psychrock #bestof2020 #bestalbumsof2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXB2kIg351/?igshid=mxm9uwwbpqlw
It’s a Day 27 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Disappointment Of The Year. While there were a few albums that underwhelmed slightly, I am so grateful for all the wonderful work by musicians that I would hesitate to single out any one record as a “disappointment.” I’d rather point to the complete shutdown of live concerts as the musical disappointment of the year - can’t wait until I can sit on a subway for an hour to trek out to some tiny venue to see a killer band like @uv__tv! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #livemusic #concerts #livemusicislife https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUTdOQg6sY/?igshid=1ci8e7exkhpzx
It’s Day 26 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Believe The Hype. Public Enemy - Yo! Bum Rush The Show (Def Jam/Columbia, 1987) I read about this album in the New York Times and believed the hype enough to rush down to J&R Music World to get the album without hearing a note. I was not disappointed either! Little did I know that the best was yet to come - and massive success, too. Not a surprise as they were “so phisticated” right from the start! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @publicenemy @defjam #hiphop #80smusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CJR08yRgvVI/?igshid=1rm4voreg4wi2
It’s Day 25 of #decvinylworship by @simonxsludge: Your Xmas Soundtrack. Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (Decca, 1951) Not only does this nearly 70 year old record play quite well, it also has about all the Der Bingle Christmas music you need! Merry Christmas, everyone 🎄 - hope the lights are bright, the gifts well-received, and the food decadent and delicious! #decembervinylchallenge #dvw2020 #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @bingcrosbyofficial @deccarecords #christmasmusic #50smusic @andrewssisters https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOsZtIgH53/?igshid=w9utbck7a3a6
