Today’s selection:
The War on Drugs - I Don’t Live Here Anymore
There’s snow on the ground and I’m drinking tea, so this feels right this morning. Their poppiest, but that only adds to their mix of Springsteen with a touch of psychedelia sound.
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning
Still might be me fave. Not that his subsequent albums aren’t great, but this feels the most «authentic» before he really embraced the character/caricature of Tom Waits.

Today’s selection:
Neil Young - Time Fades Away
Happy 80th to the legend!
This is one of his classics I never really got into during my intense fandom in my early 20s. I found it a few months ago cheap on vinyl. What a way to get to know it.

Today’s selection:
Motorpsycho - Lobotomizer
I don’t think anyone is claiming this is among their best work, but their first LP shows a lot of promise. They give a middle finger to convention, playing a range of styles, mostly grunge and metal. It was 1991 after all.

Today’s selection:
Motorpsycho - The Tower
Their 18th album saw them lose a longtime drummer only to find a younger, more explosive one in Tomas Järmyr. Then they release their most progressive and heavy album (at that time). It’s a winner if you love hard rock or prog. Cover by Håkon Gullvåg.
Today’s selection:
Nina Simone at Town Hall
Her songs really came alive on stage where she stretched out and showcased her virtuosic playing. Her voice is so powerful, you can hear her hot breath on the mic. The intimacy brings out new dimensions.

The live plate is one of their all time best.

Today’s selection:
Soup - Live Cuts
A little know Norwegian prog/post-rock group from Trondheim. They won’t change your life, but they make some pretty cool stuff. Slow building and dark.

Today’s selection:
Sault - Untitled (Rise)
My wife went to the UK and brought back this stunner of a gift. Their best album, and the best album of 2020. Inspiring, catchy, dancey, poignant, funny. So glad to have in on physical media.

Those Cramps albums came a couple days to late. You need them before Halloween!

Today’s selection:
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Boxed version)
A proggy bedroom recording by a insanely young first time musician somehow became a smash hit and helped put Virgin on the map. Even more impressive was that it was made up of one side-long instrumental composition split on two sides.
Today’s selection:
Gene Clark - No Other
Massive big budget album that flopped hard, leaving Gene’s career ruined. Forgotten and put of print until a major reevaluation years later. Now seen as a masterpiece of country rock and one of the 70s great albums.

Contender for song of the year. That bridge is *chefs kiss*

Tonight’s selection:
Motorpsycho and Ståle Størlokken - The Death Defying Unicorn
Probably their most difficult album and a fan favorite. I’ve never cracked this nut, but I’ll chipping at it in hope I’ll get it someday. This is a proper rock opera with an orchestra
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning
Rainy day selection:
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Not my favorite by him, but the best for vinyl. His albums are epic and long, and honestly, I like have the skip button handy. This one has no fat. Simply beautiful folk music.
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning
Why am I nothin bed selection:
Alan Parson’s Project - I Robot
I’m glad they’ve fallen so out of favor. I got this for €5. Crazy. This album is incredible. Cheesy? yes. Prog excess? Of course. But why is this a bad thing? One of the great 70s albums.
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning
Today’s selection:
Gabriels - Angels & Queens Part 2
Bought in Nejmegen. Jacob Lusk is maybe the best soul vocalist right now. This album is a masterpiece. I’m excited to hear where they go on the next one. And yes, I’ve become that person that leaves the plastic on.

Sometimes I wonder why Motorpsycho never conquered the world.

Today’s selection:
Motorpsycho - Child of the Future (2025 remaster)
Can’t say I hear a huge difference, but glad to hear they’re trying to polish up this definitely muddy album. They were never happy with Steve Albini’s studio, though they didn’t come with their top set of songs either.
#vinyl
Today’s selection:
Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon
Joni is always a good Sunday morning choice. This is the album is full of incredible songs beautifully performed. Every time I hear it, I perk up with each song. «That one!» Today it’s «For Free» that jumps out.
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning
I may have teared up during the climax of «Let Down». Radiohead are in that shortlist of greatest bands of all time for a reason.

Another selection:
Radiohead - OK Computer
Can I squeeze any more enjoyment after a billion spins? Maybe if I pretend I’m at the cusp of adulthood still. Maybe if I sing at the top of my lungs. Maybe if I do air guitar to chords I could never imagine. Maybe I can tap into that love, another time.
Today’s selection:
Nick Cave & the Bad Seed - The Boatman’s Call
There’s some overplayed songs here, but it’s among his strongest full-album statements. I like introspective Nick more than abrasive Nick, so I can’t complain he followed this path for the subsequent 20+ years. Striking cover too.
The Moody Blues album Days of Future Passed on a green shelf
Today’s selection:
The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
The only of their albums I ever got into. A wonderful mix of psych rock and orchestra. The orchestral bits feel tacked on to great songs, instead of a sermons harmony. Still fantastic. RIP John Lodge.
#vinyl #johnlodge #themoodyblues
Today’s selection:
Elder - Omens
My first vinyl (after moving to Europe), bought at a concert. Are they prog or stoner or post-rock? a bit of all three? Either way, their music is big on grooves with long songs.
#vinyl #dailyvinyl #nowspinning #elder
Today’s selection:
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
This feels right today. An old favorite from my teens. Most of the time, I feel I never need to give one more minute to Punk Floyd, the definition of overplayed. Then suddenly I need Rick’s spacey keys and Dave’s groovy guitar solos.
#vinyl
Today’s selection:
Midnight Choir - Amsterdam Stranded
Arguably the great alt-country album that nobody knows about. These Norwegians mix country, soul, and gospel with Talk Talk atmospherics. Their singer Paal Flaata has maybe the most gorgeous voice in Norway. A must hear!
#vinyl #dailyvinyl
Today’s selection:
Dead Can Dance - In the Realm of a Dying Sun
Autumn is here, so time to whip out this October favorite. It fits the mood of this season perfectly. Doomy, gothy, moody, and a bit creepy.
