I got busy traveling so day 19 has to make up 4 albums. Luckily some guy sold his dad's Jethro Tull records and then I got em. So today's albums are This Was, The Broadsword & The Beast, Living In The Past, and Minstrel In The Gallery.
Day 15. Today I picked The Middle Path by Scartaglen. Very niche traditional Celtic album from the 80s, I may digitize this just because the only recording I could fine online is a shitty cassette rip. I also have a personal connection to the band which was a crazy coincidence.
A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.
Day 14, been busy so three today. I'm in a mood so picking 3 Jean Luc Ponty albums I have. Mystical Adventures, Cosmic Messenger, and Imaginary Voyage. Cosmic Messenger is the best of the three imo.
Day 11, two again. Today's are two volumes of Andean flute music I found from a French world music label in a store for 2 dollars, very much worth it! The first is Los Calchakis – Flutes, Harpes Et Guitares Indiennes, and the second is Los Calchakis – Les Flûtes Indiennes Vol.3
Day 9, today's album is Please To See The King by Steeleye Span. This was the groups second album, and I will consider it a Christmas album since its title is a reference to early Christmas ceremonies and has some great variants of traditional songs.
Day 8, two for today since I missed yesterday. I picked two Tom Paxton albums, Ramblin' Boy and The Paxton Report. The title track Ramblin' Boy is one of my favorites. Paxton tends to be forgotten after his two debut albums but his whole catalog is pretty fun.
there is no path forward without denazification of the United States government
For providing advice on recording his own material. Shep's folk career was an interlude between being a medical doctor and psychiatrist, eventually he moved to Hawaii where in old age he got caught by the DEA for writing fake morphine prescriptions in 2010.
Good singer though. 2/2
Day 6! Today's album is British Traditional Albums in America by Shep Ginandes. The album is perfectly fine, more interesting is the singer. Shep made several folk albums in the 50s, with Dave Van Ronk covering some for his own later work. Shep also was credited by Tom Leher 1/2
Day 5. Today's is The Ballad of John Axon. It's one of several radio ballads worked on by Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger for the BBC in the late 50s - early 60s.
This one was the first and set the format for the rest, mixing new folk songs with subject interviews.
Day 4, switching it up again. Today's album is a double LP that just came out, Analog Mutants - Brothers of Invention.
It's a super solid hip hop album from a small label in the UK, I got hooked with the first track on the bandcamp page.
Day 3, switching it up with The Phantom A.D plays Ghoulish Rock 'N' Roll.
It's a great Halloween garage surf rock album.
The Wrapped wouldn't even calculate a listening age for me...
Next year is huge for DSA’s electoral work, and we need National Electoral Commission leadership that is committed to mass politics and grounded in real organizing to win BIG for socialism 🌹
Vote Groundwork for NEC Steering to build the party, elect socialist cadre, and win at all levels! 🪴
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
Shackleton's second album, works really well as a blend of traditional Scottish folk motifs arranged for class Cowboy songs.
The second album I've picked is Nora Brown's Long Time To Be Gone. Brown's third and imo best work and one of the best Appalachian LPs to come out in years.
Since it's December I've decided to do an album a day post series again but I've recently started collecting records so will be just posting records I've been into!
Two for today to cover for yesterday. The first is Sam Shackleton's Scottish Cowboy Ballads & Early American Folk Songs
I was kind of soft on whether NYC-DSA should run Chi Osse since Jeffries polls so well but with days like this...
CUNY is the nation’s largest urban public university system and an engine of social mobility for the city's working class.
But like so many of our public institutions, Andrew Cuomo subject it to years of disinvestment and neglect as Governor. That record cannot be forgotten.
All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.
Not going to happen because the electoral DSA leaders are not social democrats.
sorry but judges in Mexico should be elected by delegates at the DSA convention, otherwise it's just replacing deliberative democracy with whip lists
Maybe I should buy a bluray player...
Who will be the first to the post debate poll we need it now.
Idiot Fascist army acts like an idiot fascist army
