Currently spinning Lamont Dozier’s Black Bach. If you don’t know who Lamont Dozier is, then you don’t know anything about Motown. Even though I find the title a little egotistical, it’s hard to argue with a man who helped define an entire era of music. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #LamontDozier #Motown #SoulMusic #BlackBach #HollandDozierHolland #MotownHistory #SongwritingLegend #SoulOnVinyl #SeventiesSoul #ClassicSoul #VintageVinyl #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #IconicSongwriters #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Krokus’ The Blitz. The best part of digging through the dollar bin at an antique shop is finding a band you’ve never heard of and learning something new. Krokus is a Swiss rock band that built a following in the early 80s. This album was critically panned, but honestly, it isn’t that bad. They definitely give off an AC/DC-lite vibe in places. Revolutionary? No. Fun? There are some fun cuts on here. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #Krokus #DollarBinFinds #80sRock #TheBlitz #SwissRock #HardRock #ClassicMetal #ACDCLite #RockHistory #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #MusicDiscovery #Nostalgia #AlbumRevisit #UnderratedAlbums #RockOnVinyl #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

I don’t buy many 45s, but when Olivia Dean put out a live version of “Man I Need”, I couldn’t help it. She really caught my ear this year. Hoping I get to catch her live next year and photograph one of her shows. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #OliviaDean #45RPM #MusicDiscovery #SevenInch #45s #LiveRecording #SoulPop #NeoSoul #ModernSoul #UKArtists #RisingArtists #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #LiveMusic #ConcertPhotography #MusicPhotography #FutureShows #SupportLiveMusic #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Wild Cherry’s Only the Wild Survive. The only song I ever really knew was “Play That Funky Music,” so when I spotted this in the dollar bin, I picked it up to hear why they never moved beyond one-hit-wonder status. This was their fourth and final studio album, and it sounds like a band searching for their next sound and next big hit. The musicianship is solid, but there’s a sense of uncertainty running through it. It is a promo copy though, so I may just hang onto it. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #WildCherry #FunkTok #DollarBinFinds #OnlyTheWildSurvive #PromoCopy #PlayThatFunkyMusic #70sFunk #ClassicFunk #DiscoFunk #OneHitWonder #SeventiesMusic #FunkOnVinyl #FinalAlbum #BandHistory #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #UnderratedAlbums #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Bill Evans’ Portraits at the Penthouse. This was a recent Record Store Day pickup and my first Bill Evans album. I knew he played keys on Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, but after reading the liner notes and revisiting his history, I realized he did far more for jazz piano than I expected. Really glad I picked this one up. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #BillEvans #JazzTok #RecordStoreDayni #PortraitsAtThePenthouse #BillEvansTrio #Jazz #JazzPiano #PianoJazz #ModalJazz #JazzHistory #MilesDavis #KindOfBlue #LiveJazz #JazzOnVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #Audiophile #AnalogSound #HiFi #JazzPurist #MusicHistory #UnderratedAlbums #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam, Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits Vol. 2. I bought this LP for a dollar even though it was warped because it still looked clean. It plays clean, so this was a dollar well spent. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #CatStevens #YusufIslam #DollarBinFinds #FootstepsInTheDark #CatStevensVinyl #YusufIslamVinyl #GreatestHits #FolkRock #ClassicRock #SingerSongwriter #SeventiesMusic #VintageVinyl #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicHistory #TimelessMusic #AlbumAppreciation #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Now spinning Cheryl Lynn’s Instant Love. Produced by Luther Vandross, this 1982 album is actually quite good. While her mainstream pop success waned in the late 1980s, her early hits remain popular, frequently sampled, and clearly influential. The duet with Luther here is a real pleasure to listen to. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #CherylLynn #LutherVandross #ClassicRNB #InstantLove #CherylLynnVinyl #LutherVandrossProduced #RNB #SoulMusic #DiscoSoul #Early80sRNB #DanceSoul #FemaleVocalists #BlackMusicHistory #InfluentialArtists #SampledMusic #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #MusicHistory #TimelessGrooves #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

Currently spinning Paul Simon’s Hearts and Bones. It’s hard to believe this album was a commercial flop relative to his other releases. Rolling Stone once concluded that the record is all about heart versus mind, thinking versus feeling, and how those tensions get in the way of making music or love. I completely agree. The songwriting here feels quietly profound and deeply human. #NowSpinning #PaulSimon #VinylTok #ClassicSingerSongwriter #AlbumAppreciation #HeartsAndBones #PaulSimonVinyl #SingerSongwriter #Songwriting #DeepListening #ClassicPop #AdultContemporary #EightiesMusic #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicDiscovery #MusicHistory #AlbumFocused #UnderratedAlbums #NostrMusic #NostrNotes #MusicNerd #ThoughtfulMusic

Currently spinning Eric Clapton’s Just One Night. Love him or hate him, he still recorded some great music. They always say his recorded live performances never fully captured what people saw in person, but I think this one does a pretty good job. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #EricClapton #ClassicRock #LiveAlbum #JustOneNight #EricClaptonVinyl #ClassicRockVinyl #LiveRecording #SeventiesRock #RockHistory #GuitarLegends #BluesRock #RockOnVinyl #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #RecordCollectors #RecordCollection #CrateDigging #UsedVinyl #AnalogSound #Audiophile #HiFi #MusicDiscovery #MusicHistory #LiveMusic #ConcertRecording #NostrMusic #NostrNotes #MusicNerd #RockVinyl

Currently spinning The Sunshine Company. Ever heard of them? Neither had I. Another dollar pickup from the bins. They were clearly inspired by the rise of The Mamas and The Papas, and you can definitely hear it in the sound. Is it a great album? Not particularly. Was it worth a dollar? Yup. #NowSpinning #VinylTok #RecordCollectors #DollarBinFinds #SunshinePop #TheSunshineCompany #SunshineCompany #60sPop #SixtiesMusic #VintageVinyl #CrateDigging #VinylFinds #VinylCommunity #RecordCollection #RecordCollector #UsedVinyl #ThriftStoreFinds #MusicDiscovery #RareRecords #ObscureBands #LostAlbums #AnalogSound #VinylArchive #DeepCuts #PsychedelicPop #SoftRock #HarmonyPop #MamasAndPapasInspired #ClassicPop #OldiesButGoodies #RetroVibes #MusicNerd #NostrMusic #NostrNotes

“…The song itself moves with the same energy. The modulated vocals glide over a tightly arranged instrumental bed that recalls the colorful eccentricity of early MGMT. The comparison is spot on. There is a similar sense of psychedelic cheerfulness stitched to an undercurrent of existential questioning. The hook, built around the repetition of “Gonna prove them wrong,” sticks immediately. It feels less like defiance and more like a personal promise…” . Arlie’s new single “provemwrong” hits with a rare mix of joy, introspection, and indie pop sparkle.

“…Hearing this evolution unfold live at The Wiltern was the moment everything clicked. The Clearing’s songs washed across the room with theatrical scope, but then they pivoted into old favorites that reminded everyone that this band still thrives on grit. When they tore into “Giant Peach”, something in the room snapped awake. It was a reminder that beneath the polish and the beauty, Wolf Alice still has that wild, snarling energy that powered their earliest work. That moment for me was the thread that tied all four albums together. This is a band with no fixed shape. Every album is a new reinvention. Every track is a new version of themselves…” . @dkl finally saw Wolf Alice live after almost a decade of waiting. Their performance at The Wiltern was a reminder for him of how far their sound has traveled and how deeply The Clearing reflects their artistry and self-awareness.

“…Radio Free Alice taps into a new wave and post punk palette that carries a distinctly nostalgic glow. As someone who grew up with artists from that lineage, the feeling is familiar even if the exact parallels are not quite identifiable. There are flashes of the bands who first introduced me to angular guitar work and cool toned vocals, flashes of records that spun during late nights when music felt like an instruction manual for the world. It is not that Radio Free Alice mimics any of those artists. It is that they summon the emotional temperature of that era, the mix of distance and intensity, the clean lines, the sense that a song can brood and dance at the same time….” . Radio Free Alice keep leveling up. Their new single “Rule 31” captures the same restless post punk spark that has been selling out rooms across the UK and US while tapping into a nostalgic New Wave feel that makes their sound hit across generations.

Spinning Charles Earland’s Black Talk. I definitely hope to find a cleaner copy someday, but for two dollars this one will do just fine. #CharlesEarland #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #JazzGroove #RecordCollector

Some quick edits of @wasiaproject at @fondatheatre last night (10/17/24), and I have to say, this sibling duo left a serious impression. Their musical talent was impressive, but what stood out just as much was their ability to connect with the crowd. Duly impressed. .

“Last night, I found out my shoot was FOH when I arrived (FOH = front of house = soundboard), and while I wasn’t exactly prepared to shoot from that far back, it didn’t even matter—I finally got to see @pjharveyofficial live for the first time! 🎤✨ Her performance was absolutely timeless, performing her latest album #IInsideTheOldYearDying and tons of fan favorites. I was instantly transported back to my high school days when she performed songs off of #RidOfMe and #ToBringYouMyLove. It was everything I hoped for and more. Truly, the magic of music never fails. 🎶 #ILoveMusic” . Still gotta see what I can do with what I shot, but review and full photo gallery comin’ in due course. Stay tuned! .

@themarias at @hwdforever 8/22/24. 📷 by @dklphotos. . The Marías in a cemetery? Pure magic. ✨ Their smooth vibes were the perfect soundtrack to the calm, eerie atmosphere.
