Didn’t have a ton of time to sit down and articulate all my thoughts this week which got me thinking…maybe there is a better way of doing these weekly posts. After some time reflecting on what I truly wanted this weekly series to accomplish, I realized that I need it to be more about the music/vinyl rather than my odd musings, fun facts and rankings (you’ll have to buy me a couple of beers for this info if you really want it). Think of these posts as a bookmark for discovery or shared passion rather than a place to listen to me Ramble On (see what I did there, eh?).

So, starting today, these posts will focus solely on the LP – artwork, packaging, media, and any other accompanying material.

If I find it necessary to the listening experience, I will chime in where necessary but other than that I will remain quiet. This will make it easier for me to continue to showcase my ever growing vinyl collection while also hopefully sharing my love for music and vinyl.

I also want to challenge anyone, who may have the album that I am showcasing in a given week, to give it a spin without interruption during the same week posted. Even if you are digitally spinning on Spotify or Tidal or whatever, at the end of the day it’s all about the music and actively listening to what is being played.

Cheers!

Accompanying Material

The video below is super cool and is completely free on YouTube. Radiohead plays ‘In Rainbows’ (and a couple of others) front to back without interruption and it’s honestly one of my favorite studio sessions out there.

I’d say watch this video only after having spun the record. The talent it takes to pull something like this off is mind blowing and a testament to why Radiohead is one of the best to ever do it.
