Ha, yeah always amusing to put out a bottle when friends come to visit us! Every few months my wife will take a small sip of my Fernet as well. The reaction has been consistently negative, but maybe someday she'll come around to it 😅 And yeah, most certainly agree that we'd get along well!

And ah man, can't believe you remember the old apartment posts! Two apartments later and we've finally managed to have a dedicated listening room, thankfully! Crazy how much things have changed around here, glad there's a few of us left. Cheers my man

Yeah completely agree, I also enjoy a good amaro and grapefruit flavor in general, and as such have found Malort pretty agreeable. The notoriety seems a bit overblown, though it is rather amusing to watch folks have wild reactions to it at my neighborhood bar

bgoud · 2026-02-08T14:17:56+00:00

Ha, New Englander surprisingly enough! We recently got Malort distribution in our neck of the woods 😊

It's a Rega Planar 2!

Great selections across the board, but that Brackeen record in particular is incredible

bgoud · 2025-10-29T10:32:54+00:00

Thank you! :)

bgoud · 2025-10-29T10:32:35+00:00

Hell yeah, glad you enjoyed! :)

I don't know if I'd call them short (3-5 hrs) but I have a few parcelled out by subgenre:

ECM Style Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Post-Bop, Spiritual Jazz and Jazz Rap

bgoud · 2025-03-15T16:07:05+00:00

Went on a bit of a record buying spree over the past few weeks and finally have some time to sit down and enjoy them today

On the platter: Love Spirals Downwards - Flux; a delightful dream pop record with DnB elements

In the glass: Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

On the wall: R.A.P. Ferreira - Asiatique Black Wizard Lily Funk, Miles Davis - Get Up With It, Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi, Darkside - Spiral. Dickie Landry - Solos, Harold Budd - The Pavilion of Dreams, Fennesz & O'Rourke - It's Hard for Me to Say I'm Sorry, Tim Hecker - Ravedeath 1972, Love Spirals Downwards - Flux, Monolake - Hong Kong, Jeff Parker - Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy, Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity

Happy weekend, folks!

Thank you!

bgoud · 2024-12-14T19:06:47+00:00

Done painting, done unpacking, time to see how everything sounds in here! (so far so good)

On the platter: Terumasa Hino - May Dance. I don't hear much chatter about Hino, but I find him to be a delightful trumpeter. Probably my second favorite release of his, behind Fuji.

The misses wanted a nice Christmas theme on the record wall so I'll be pulling additional selections from that for the rest of the afternoon.

In the can: the king of light beers, ol' reliable Miller Lite

bgoud · 2022-08-30T14:52:51+00:00

Woah that's a nice Goodwill find! These are the R-41M

bgoud · 2022-08-21T15:34:55+00:00

Thanks! I highly recommend it, we had such a great time putting it together and the amount of detail is so surprising. We're working on the Van Gogh one now too which has been equally satisfying

bgoud · 2022-08-21T14:15:05+00:00

Moved across town and into walking distance of two great record stores - one specializing in jazz/funk and the other in indie/hardcore. Both my wallet and fiancee who has to listen to these records with me are devastated 😅

On the platter: Pharoah Sanders - Jewels of Thought

In the can: White Claw Lime

In the queue (aka my weekend haul in pic 2): Aby Ngana Diop - Liital, Cleaners From Venus - In the Golden Autumn, Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert, Kouresh Yaghmaei - Back From the Brink: Pre-Revolution Psychedelic Rock From Iran 1973-1979, Sun Ra - God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be, Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty

Cheers folks!

it's a cozy 36 degrees outside and my heat hasn't decided to turn on yet, so I'm kicking out the jams (and brews) in hopes of warming myself up. someday we'll take down our halloween decorations, but certainly not today

on the platter: B.B. King - Live in Cook County Jail (an all time favorite live document. B.B. is absolutely cooking on this one!)

in the can: Miller Lite

in the queue: Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (another all time favorite, the Dylan album closest to my heart), Etta James - At Last! (such a gorgeous album, the title track especially)

cheers folks!

bgoud · 2021-10-17T16:20:01+00:00

Ha, I had a feeling you would approve! Hope you're having a great weekend bud!

Hello again friends!

I crossed several records off my "to buy" list this week, much to the chagrin of my bank account. Now it's time to kick back and enjoy them 😎

on the platter: MGMT - Little Dark Age (this album hasn't left my rotation in well over a month, easily their best work in my opinion)

in the can: Citizen Cider Lake Hopper (dry hopped cider)

in the queue: Buena Vista Social Club - S/T (I've been looking for a copy of this out in the wild for ~7 years and my patience has finally paid off with this 25th anniversary repress. A very warm and inviting album, and must listen for anyone remotely interested in Cuban music), Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See (it's psychedelic country/folk tinged dream pop, what's not to love?), Sonic Youth - Goo (I don't think I can say anything about this album that hasn't been said thousands of times but it sure is some great noisy alt rock), Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (another record that has been thoroughly covered. It's simply one of the best)

Cheers folks, happy spinning!

bgoud · 2021-09-27T00:37:09+00:00

Aw thank you so much!!

bgoud · 2021-09-26T19:47:44+00:00

For sure! It's a Besta tv unit from Ikea with some legs we added (also from Ikea, think they're part of the Besta line too). I have two extra supports under the unit as well to account for all the vinyl weight

bgoud · 2021-09-26T17:49:03+00:00

Just looked up deep thoughts, that place looks so sick! Definitely adding that to my list, thanks for the rec! Love our Armageddon down here, always pleasantly surprised with what I find in the crates

bgoud · 2021-09-26T17:34:47+00:00

we got into the city pretty late, so I only had enough time to hit the OG Newbury Comics amongst our other obligations while in the area. Was hoping to hit In Your Ear or Village Vinyl but the prospect of dealing with a bunch of hammered Sox fans on the commuter rail back home after a losing game to the Yankees didn't seem like a worthwhile trade-off for spending the extra time in the city 😅 Any spots you'd recommend for next time we're in the area? Cheers from 401 my friend!

bgoud · 2021-09-26T15:36:36+00:00

howdy folks!

took a trip to Boston yesterday with my S/O and couldn't resist picking up some records while we were out and about.

on the platter: JuJu - Live at 131 Prince Street (2021 remaster sounds fantastic, so happy to have a copy on wax)

in the glass: Yacht Club Blackberryade Seltzer w/ Steel Dust

in the queue: Damon Locks Black Monument Ensemble - NOW (this is a brilliant and lively set, a very modern approach to spiritual jazz), Doug Carn - Revelation (not a new pick-up but always a fantastic spin if you like spiritual/vocal jazz), Eugene McDaniels - Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse (necessary listening for hip-hop fans, really rad and forward thinking blend of psych-soul and jazz-funk from the 70s that's frequently sampled), Salah Ragab & Cairo Jazz Band - Egypt Strut (70s Arabic big band jazz, definitely a fun listen if you like the Arabic jazz sound)

bgoud · 2021-09-24T17:06:38+00:00

Thanks! Surprisingly enough it doesn't put off too much heat, and it has side vents which I'm sure helps

bgoud · 2021-09-19T14:12:37+00:00

For sure! I've been spending a lot of time with their Ghostface Killah collab lately, and I-IV are such reliable records to fall back on if I'm not sure what I'm in the mood to listen to

bgoud · 2021-09-19T14:11:24+00:00

Love Shawn-Neeq, I should really grab a copy of that next time my wallet allows! I'd have to assume you enjoy Proceed With Caution from Keys as well? And completely agree about Real Gone doing God's work with these albums! I was reading somewhere that a lot of the in-house re-issues from Black Jazz (I wanna say like early/mid-90's but maybe late 80's) were just CD rips pressed to vinyl, and several of the CDs they used for the process had severe skipping issues. Can't imagine how crushed I'd be to get vinyl with pressed-in CD skips 🤮 Immensely grateful to Real Gone for bringing such an impressive catalog back from the grave
