What I’m Listening To: 7.12.18

Nick Lowe – Labour of Lust A friend recently posted on Instagram their purchase of Nick Lowe’s Labour of Lust LP and I commented on just how underrated this album is. He replied with what most people do, “I know Jesus of Cool but haven’t heard this one yet. Looking forward to it.” A week … Continue reading What I’m Listening To: 7.12.18

Fellow vinyl nerds, check out @record_magazine - my copy arrived yesterday and it’s a wonderfully designed magazine highlighting DJs and collectors all around the world. It’s fun reading about analog pursuits expressed in an analog medium. I think we’ll all agree with the sentiment expressed in the last sentence on the second pic ➡️.

Whoa mama. Finally getting around to playing this huge Yamaha CR-2040 I found awhile ago. Needs new lamps and a good Deoxit cleaning but so far she’s playing properly. . Opinion: Would you replace the lamps with the factory green colored lights or go with a white shade? . At some point I’ll need to sell this baby so if you’re Nashville and want to invest in a serious vintage receiver, let know.

My teenage sons’ turntable has been speeding up and slowing down erratically and I finally got around to giving the 33/45 rpm speed pot a good Deoxit bath and now it seems to be holding speed properly. . Funny story about this turntable...it was stacked in a pile of audio gear at an estate sale with a price sticker of $125 which is...rather excessive. I told the seller, I’ll take all the audio gear but the turntable. He replied, “Would you take the turntable for $10?” to which I quickly replied yes. How we got from $125 to $10 in one shot I’ll never know. Glad she’s back up and running again.

Me + records + turntables = DJ gig this Saturday night @vinyltapnashville - the jams start at 8:30pm.

I took a disposable film camera to Yankee Stadium and these photos are some of the results (with a shot of the camera I used in the last photo for reference). Shooting with that little plastic camera was as much fun now as it was when I was a kid. No filters used on these film scans!
