Channel 33 RPM – Earlier this summer I did a purge of my record collection (about 150 records I wasn’t listening to). I want to tell you about that experience, what I learned, what I did with the money, and maybe provide some food for thought.
My first listen of the 2019 hit record, “Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards” by Taeha Types and Trunk Records. Clicky keyboard recordings on vinyl? Oh yeah, we are living in the future.
Hoping to start a thread of videos about albums that have multiple covers. Here I show off a couple dozen different album covers with their alternates.
Hips don’t lie. But a hip x-ray in the Soviet Union of the 1950s might not have been what it appeared to be. In fact, if it was round, it was likely a record. Let us explain. At a time when the Soviet government strictly forbade western music from the likes of hip shaker Elvis and jazz great Charlie Parker, people found a creative way around the restriction. They turned x-rays of rib cages, fingers and other body parts into records—yes, actual audio recordings—that they exchanged on the sly. Stephen Coates of London’s Bureau of Lost Culture tells us about the ingenious scheme to create and distribute the bootleg audio recordings.
Japanese audiophiles are spending thousands of dollars on high-end stereo systems. Some are even installing private utility poles for a personal source of electricity, all in a quest for aural perfection. Photo: Juro Osawa/The Wall Street Journal
Monie Muse – This year I participated in Record Store Day and hunted for some new and used records. We decided to visit Rhino Records in Claremont. I managed to find records I have been looking for. The record store was fully stocked with their Black Friday releases, I ended up finding a great recommendation Love Story from 1970, and a friend recommended singer songwriter, Nick Drake record called Bryter Layter. It’ll be my Christmas gift.
