If you see this, post a concert picture that you took.

Heart And Soul - Standing Room Only [1982] Nearly impossible to find OGs of this #PFunk gem out of #RVA. Hugo & Philip Thompson, along with James Mosely and others combine for a macho funk experience you won't forget. #funk #vinyl #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Is it any wonder that the party that regularly cancels and rigs their primary process is in a constant state of retroactive bewilderment as to their voting bases motivations and preferences? Unbelievable how out of touch they are.

Tony Allen - Film of Life [2014] Immediately one of my favorite records. Was saving this one for no reason. Allen is a true master of rhythm, arguably the greatest drummer who's ever lived. A late-career masterpiece from the #afrobeat pioneer. #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylsky #musicsky

friday 5x5

It's the almost-four-hour ambient/electronic/world set I put together last year: www.mixcloud.com/bullrog/quix... Spent almost a month auditioning tracks, never played it in the space it was designed for. But it was really fun to dig in parts of my collection that don't typically see much action.

Archie Bell & The Drells - Where Will You Go When The Party's Over [1976] Bunch of dancefloor bops by a band ostensibly concerned with what happens *after* a party. Sigler, Wansel, McFadden, etc. Tip top sigma sound from the Philly crew #vinyl #disco #nowspinning #nowplaying #musicsky #vinylsky

Johnny Colon Y Su Orchestra - Boogaloo Blues [1967] My favorite latin record, found thanks to a years-old recommendation from my friend ZADO. Johnny is from El Barrio in NYC. The singing on this record is something to behold #vinyl #latinmusic #boogaloo #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Pasteur Lappé- African Funk Experimentals 1979-1981 [2016 Compilation] Consider this notice to listen to funk and disco music from the African Continent. It will make your life better - if only through compelling movement. #funk #vinyl #disco #afrofunk #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Rahsaan Roland Kirk was born in Columbus, Ohio on this day in 1935 📸 Ove Alström, Stockholm, October 3, 1964

Addis Pablo - In My Father's House (2014) A love letter to his father's music and the music of his childhood, Addis makes a powerful statement with his first full-length. He pulls from deep waters. Can't wait to hear what comes next. #vinylsky #musicsky #dub #reggae #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyl

First Choice - So Let Us Entertain You [1976] Philly vocal soul at it's finest. It's wild to me how much time you can spend in exclusively Detroit and Philly soul/funk/disco without getting bored. #funk #soul #vinylsky #vinyl #nowspinning #nowplaying

Just remembered Kendrick's verse on Big Sean - Control. Who allowed him to do that.

Sabalenka - Pegula already one of the best matches of this #usopen. Consider turning it on, even if you're not a #tennis fan.

Bill Evans - Waltz For Debby [UHQR by Analogue Productions 2024 press] Trying my hardest not to let these expensive remastered represses become a habit I can't afford. This album is worth the cost and shelf space, though. What a stunner. #jazzsky #nowplaying #nowspinning #jazz #vinylsky #vinyl

Group Inerane - Guitars from Agadez (Music of Niger) [2007] One of the earlier high quality recordings of the electric guitar 'desert blues' sound that has seen a boost in popularity in recent years with the popularity of groups like Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar and Etrain De L'Aïr.

I've been running daily 5k's this summer. Tonight I reached a personal milestone

Lalo Schifrin - Music from Mission Impossible [1967] Big Band soul jazz soundtrack for television. You know the main theme, but the entire thing goes absolutely dummy. The attention to detail in the production is downright egregious. #vinylsky #nowspinning #nowplaying #musicsky #jazzsky

Happy Birthday to UK-based dub poet & lifelong political activist Linton Kwesi Johnson (aka LKJ), born on August 24, 1952, in Chapelton, arural parish of Clarendon, Jamaica! He is only the second living poet, and only black one, to be published in the Penguin Modern Classics series. More: alt text

Creative Source - Migration [1974] 70s Soul vocal group on Sussex ("The Sound of Success!") records. Underrated by general audiences, immensely respected by DJs and producers. Backing tracks were recorded by some of the best studio talent Detroit/LA had to offer.

I need to listen to more modern post punk/darkwave/synthwave stuff. The hit rate is so high on these records.

Food festivals walking distance from you in your neighborhood are rather cool, wouldn't you agree?

Harvey Mason - Marching In The Street [1975] Joined by a star-studded cast of 70s funkers for his debut LP, Harvey Mason crafts a slightly more varied take on the funky style which made Head Hunters [1973] the highest ever selling jazz record to that point.

Friday 5x5

National Lighthouse Day?! Didn't know we had one of those but here's the lighthouse I visited most recently, the one on South Manitou Island on Lake Michigan

Astonishingly evil. This is an atrocity against the human species at large. Demonic.

Good day to be a green bubble

Sylvester is a goated artist. Sorry for not posting in forever, been kinda busy (but not really). #vinylsky #vinyl #disco

People are always asking me why my Tesla Cybertruck always looks and smells so good. I give them a little wink - it's because of the lemon juice and saltwater that I always use to clean the exterior of my Tesla Cybertruck. Lemon juice and saltwater leave the stainless steel surface shiny and clean.

Love this photo of Femi Kuti from last night's show in Central Park. #afrobeat #femikuti #livemusic

Free music festivals that are slightly outside of your neighborhood are pretty rad, wouldn't you agree? Crowd awaits Femi Kuti

Free Palestine. Let Gaza live. Defund the rogue terror state, the entire world is less safe as a result of their being allowed and encouraged to deliberately starve children and families.

Friday 5x5. Less than a quarter of the Kiss albums I've listened to this week are represented here. I am preparing for a record sale. This week has had *some good*, but mostly real fuckin bad music lol.

"From the children of Sinai to the children of Gaza," - Egyptian children are sending food to Gaza by sea, near the Rafah border.

PARIS (AP) — French President Macron announces that France will recognize Palestine as a state.

This painting is on display at the Whitney right now just in case you like dope shit

Sunset last night in Monmouth County was completely outrageous

L.J. Reynolds - L.J. Reynolds [1981] Nearly-perfect funk/soul/disco slab from the once and future Dramatics singer. Only thing is I'd avoid introducing myself with canned applause on my first solo album, also maybe cut the song "Lonely Superstar" 🤣 #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl

Zapp - Zapp [1979] Based on this record, I now understand that the reason why Michigan people hate Ohioans is that if they let them in, they'll have *too much fun*. These guys are out of control, funkin' out of bounds. #vinyl #musicsky #funk #talkbox #morebouncetotheounce #nowspinning #nowplaying
