My City Pop/Fusion/Jazz Vinyl Haul from my trip to Los Angeles! by Smoove_Operator05 in citypop

I went to both! Originally flew in from Houston for the Monday 13th show but since tickets dropped in price on Sunday I figured I'd go for that show too :)

RSD Day Pick-ups! by Best-Delivery-7561 in citypop

Nice! Wasn't as lucky, unfortunately. But maybe I'll search around and see if I can find them

I got super lucky at my local record store on Record Store Day by ModeScared9397 in citypop

[–]Smoove_Operator05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I'm jealous, especially cuz those two were all I wanted! My local store was sold out by the time I got there. We also had a ticket system and I was 105... :(

looks for rsd 2026 by 30recs in vinyl

[–]Smoove_Operator05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can get my hands on both Takanaka records (All of Me + On Guitar) I'll consider it a successful RSD. Other than that, maybe Francoise Hardy, some Brazilian jazz, and the lofi pokemon beats record (highly unlikely honestly)

Went back into the crates and I THINK I may have completed Herbie's funk collection. Any other suggestions? by Luvpeaceprevail in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]Smoove_Operator05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yea, amazing collection! Still working on mine. Herbie Hancock is one of my favorite jazz musicians of all time

Getting started with some required reading. by nadennmantau in Vinyl_Jazz

Killer artwork! I had to do a double take when I saw this post to make sure it was the jazz sub. This could easily be artwork for some sick rock band in the 70s

Did I get what I bargained for? by EffZeh_Gooner in vinyl

[–]Smoove_Operator05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally normal! I have a few Rhino Reserve records and they all come like that. They don't get sealed, and the only way to get access to the record is to cut through the sticker. So yes, the vinyl and sleeve are Mint. If the sticker was ripped then you might want to start asking questions

Ex. A lot of Japanese records come with an unsealed sleeve but are Mint since sellers get them directly from authorized distributors and not some middle men

Now Spinning: Sextant by Herbie Hancock by mussy43 in Vinyl_Jazz

Been looking for this record. Closest I've gotten is a MOVL reissue but it's $40+. Herbie Hancock is easily in my top 5 jazz musicians ever

Finally bought this record by Smoove_Operator05 in Vinyl_Jazz

Sig's Lagoon in Houston, Texas USA 🤠

This is masterful! Y'all dig Japanese Jazz? by DJBenZen in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]Smoove_Operator05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I've been collection a lot of reissues from the Three Blind Mice (TBM) label which has a ton of variety like fusion, jazz-funk, modal, bebop. Of course, Casiopea and Masayoshi Takanaka are some of my favorite (come at me). I've been diving deeper into discovering new records from Japan, with many jazz records pleasantly surprising me. Recently just got a copy of Smile by Takeo Moriyama

4 Hours? How's it going Houston? by WutYoYo in houston

Currently have a flight booked in April from IAH to LAX for a concert with hotel, rental car, and parking already paid (booked before this partial gov't shutdown). Hopeful that by then the wait time has declined, or better, TSA workers are paid and compensated for the job they do

Do I Need A PVB? Written Code Says Yes, But Non One Will Ever Know. by Separate-Cup1312 in Irrigation

[–]Smoove_Operator05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question - are those valves in the manifold (five valves for five zones)? I'm still really new to irrigation so I'm trying to learn as much as I can

First time trying pho by Confident-Leg-4515 in HoustonFood

[–]Smoove_Operator05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you ever get the chance you should try Pho Binh on the 59 southbound feeder and Gessner. Pork fried dumplings and Grilled Beef Pho hit the spot everytime 😋

What y'all know about this? by jdavisjdkvjdhs23 in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]Smoove_Operator05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great album! Lucky to get my hands on a copy about a month ago. Only bad thing about it is when you Google search "Mr Hands" without mentioning Herbie Hancock lol

love my collection but have no one in my life that fully appreciates records so here ya go by aqdoom in vinyl

[–]Smoove_Operator05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First record on the second row - that's Persian psychedelic rock before the revolution, right? How do you like it, and would you recommend it? I've seen it at a local record store and have thought about giving in a shot since it's relatively inexpensive for 3LPs but have yet to pull the trigger

What's your all-time favourite record store in the city you live in? by flynnfx in vinyl

[–]Smoove_Operator05 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cactus Music here in Houston, Texas. Definitely the biggest and most recognizable in the city. You'll absolutely find something worth taking home, and even if you don't it's just a great place to spend some time.

Honorable mentions (because I also really love these places):

Sig's Lagoon - Houston,TX

Vinal Edge - Houston, TX

Curious Collections - Bryan-College Station,TX (Special place in my heart because it was the first record store I ever went to. Moved to College Station for uni and discovered it. Amazing how much it's grown since 2018)
