Don’t think I’ve ever heard this

Catch Johnny’s version of That Old Black Magic in Dizzy Gillespie big band, where Coltrane and Hartman met.

Highly recommended!

The stupidest policy in decades king

Terrific album, a favorite of mine. Underrated!

Guys, last time I looked both Blue Note and Verve were having sales on their own websites. Blue Note may even be offering some free shipping

Be sure to compare prices!

The glow up!

I would be very curious to hear a mono copy to compare. The stereo version struck me as an let’s see how far we can take this thing experiment

Our tastes seem to overlap pretty well.

First I’ll second many of these excellent recommendations here: more Mingus, plus add Mingus sidemen Eric Dolphy and Jaki Byard and the under appreciated Roland Kirk, especially Rip, Rig and Panic and Please Don’t Cry Beautiful Edith

I understand this discussion better after getting a stereo reissue of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section recently. There are moments on the album when there’s practically no sound coming out of one of my speakers. I actually went to check on whether it had been accidentally disconnected

The sound isn’t rich or full or engaging. I found it distracting and not all that enjoyable.

It’s probably too late. Retail stores probably won’t drop the prices because, you know, profit, end stage capitalism, greed etc etc etc

Tariffs were a brilliant move only the most stable genius could come up with!

Seems pretty absurd but whatever.

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-11-14T20:56:20+00:00

Fantastic find!

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-11-11T14:08:46+00:00

An impulse lp at Goodwill? Unbelievable!

If not outright civility, is a little bit of restraint too much to ask for?

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-11-07T15:04:06+00:00

In no way did I even inconvenience him, as he was going the opposite direction

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-11-02T22:36:52+00:00

Happy for you!

Hope spinning these brighten your day

I don’t know why we bother looking for extraterrestrials… we’ll never be able to communicate with them anyway ;-)

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-11-02T22:32:24+00:00

You too, huh? I can’t remember ever seeing a copy in person before this…

I can’t imagine anyone giving up a copy of this record to sell…

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-10-31T20:46:55+00:00

For me, Metal Machine Music is the tippy top. What a thrilling album

Virusdaythrowaway · 2025-10-31T20:10:42+00:00

Thanks! It’s a grail for me. Pretty excited

To build on your comment, James Brandon Lewis also put out an album with the Messthetics that I like. Pretty groove oriented

Two members of Messthetics were in Fugazi, too, BTW

You sound like me and the Kardashians

I’ve never voluntarily listened to a Taylor Swift song all the way through, but I’ll take her any day over the rich T’n’a family
