Mind-blowing Argentine noise rock LP picked up at my neighborhood record store. SuΓ‘rez, Hora De No Ver (Calar Music, 2021 RE of 1994 OG on SuΓ‘rez' own label, Feliz AΓ±o Nuevo Discos). Not on Bandcamp, apparently, but there's a full album version on YouTube, I think

Cheap heat: Sandy Denny, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz (Island 1975 repress of Island 1974 OG). My god, I love this woman's voice. First-ever listen, picked up today at my local record store after work. I somehow didn't know until just now she died so young. Dang.

An incoming package at lunchtime added 12 raw & rare Libyan singles to the collection bringing the total to over two dozen. Some of these labels are not yet cataloged on Discogs. I've got a lot of work to do this weekend!

Fuck ICE, fuck Israel, fuck every ghoul supporting genocide & murder. When I worked at Tower in San Francisco 1987-89, this was by far my favorite hip hop album. This & Kathy Acker's Great Expectations put me on the path I haven't strayed from since. OG 89 promo copy found in DC

I've always wanted to hear this LP with the super-dramatic cover and look! Here we are! Worth the wait for this no-skip LP. Kim Jiyeon & The Revival Cross, My Heart Is Wavering (Cobrarose Records + Beatball 2018 RE of Asia Record 1974 OG). Sample track: youtu.be/t6gUgtQTMOE?...

No getting around playing this CERTIFIED(TM) banger on tomorrow night's show. Cheikha Remitti, Yakhti Yakhti b/w Goudi Maaya Ya Touila (Edition Atlas, date u/k). The cover art gives the impression that the 45 comes with a free dress pattern. (It doesn't.) www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Found a sealed copy of this mind-blowing legendary TB-303-powered proto-acid house super-grail today: Charanjit Singh, Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat (Bombay Connection, 2010 RE of 1982 HMV OG). I've heard MP3s, but never vinyl and it's outstanding. youtu.be/sB4RYBpwV0A?...

This is Renee Good.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.

She was an American citizen.

She described herself as a β€œpoet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”

And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

Noisy compared to 2020 RE, but the sound & cover images on this OG are crisper, punchier. Racionais MC's, Raio X Brasil - Liberdade De ExpressΓ£o (Zimbabwe, 1993). Sometimes love for faves fades; I've been listening to these guys for over a decade & it just grows with every listen

First listen to this legendary LP. Sweet baby Jesus in the manger this is good. Caetano Veloso s/t (Philips, 1969). I'm gonna have to go back and read his autobio again. Lanny Gordin's guitar! "Alfomega"! Mind-blowing

I might have missed it but really did no one include this brilliant gut-wrenching LP in their AOTYs? This could change, I suppose, but at the moment it's tied for me between this & Marie de la Nuit's Transportees. Nadah El Shazly, Laini Tani (One Little Independent Records, 2025)
