Albina Music Trust here in Portland, OR is putting out some amazing stuff. Vinyl-only live set from local drummer Domo Branch, recorded live in Latvia in 2022. Cannot recommend this highly enough! #vinyl #jazz #hifi #pdx

One at the buzzer for 2025… lovely 1967 first press of a personal favorite. #hifi #jazz #vinyl #BillDixon

Finally finished this mass-loaded plinth for my Thorens TD-124 Mk II turntable. Richlite and birch plywood, with some lead shot and sand loading, as well as constrained layer damping with a compliant adhesive in select locations. Lots of fiddly work but I'm pretty pleased with how this came out!

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

If anyone needs me through the end of the year… I’ll either be in the workshop or in front of the stereo.

everyone quotes the part of anthony boardain interview thats about kissinger, which fair, but it’s also the the interview where he yearns to launch david brooks and maureen dowd into the sun

Two mics, direct to tape, as close as you can get. This recording is such a gift! #hifi #vinyl #bluegrass

Dead & Co you mean Uncle John‘s Bland?

Having the original version of this matters more than I thought! The only reprint out there, which is admittedly very good, pitches the entire A side up a half step. Look at the play times! “Home Rule” is in the key of E on the original pressing but F in the reprint!

If I never buy another LP, I'll die a happy man. An amazing original copy of my favorite jazz record of all time. #vinyl #jazz #hifi #lloydmcneill #washingtonsuite #asharecords

‘71 stereo reprint… not the cleanest copy in the world, but some of the best $2 I’ve ever spent. #jazz #vinyl #hifi

Death panels

Who, indeed. #thanksgiving #vinyl

One of the better live recordings I’ve come across to date. Cut a little low, likely since it’s not compressed, but from material to room sound this is a gem. All the players are in very fine form here! #jazz #hifi

Purchased, if you can believe it, rather a lot of heady jazz records today. Real nice stereo/quad copy of this banger! #jazz #vinyl #hifi

Alam Khan and Ravi Albright, Alberta Abbey, Portland OR, Nov 20th 2025.

The only reason Trump got away with it with the Mueller Report is that the press rushed out to publish "Mueller finds no wrongdoing!" headlines. Will they do the same thing with Epstein? (Yes, they will.)

the crimes are obviously worse but there's also the constant indignities of all formal levers of government communication being taken over by people with a schoolyard bully's vocabulary and the pugilistic instinct of a drunk at the second bar that's cut them off that night

All of the Khansahib sides on Connoisseur Society are pure gold, but this is the one I always come back to. A stunning performance and possibly the best stereo image that has ever been put to tape. #hifi #vinyl

They conditioned y'all to be like this with them Nextdoor accounts

I had no idea she was even on the show this season!

GPT is probably beloved by the people in your STEM classes who whined to the teacher that they shouldn't be graded on the quality of their writing

Some great picks from the Save the LP show here in #Beaverton today! #vinyl #lp #hifi

so this is like the next stage of the nostalgia obsession, right? now we can't let people go? everyone is twelve.

This is much better on the deck than any of the needle drops online led me to believe. Really glad I took a chance on this one! #jazz #hifi

Digging on a business trip sometimes pays off. First stereo press, ‘58, Atlantic green labels. #hifi #jazz #vinyl

Not usually a McLaughlin girlie but pretty strong stuff here. #vinyl #jazz #ctirecords

These are the people who forged Electoral College vote certificates and tried to pass them off as real, right in front of the whole country. Maybe the most insane crime of them all.

My take on the shutdown is that you should actually not finance a government that is currently refusing to seat one of your congresspeople and is likely to attempt a coup within a year, even if they give you everything you ask and beg for it in apologetic tones, which, note, they also haven't done.

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

On her thirteenth birthday in 1938, my grandmother (may her memory be a blessing) returned to her family’s home in Moscow to learn that her father had been arrested. She walked to every prison in the city trying to find him. She always received the same answer: “No information.”

A lot of questionable reprints out there these days but this decidedly is not one of them. They really did right by the masters here! 2024 Analogue Productions AAA reprint of Chico Freeman's "Spirit Sensitive"
