THIS ONE GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE IN ARIZONA TODAY as well as around the nation, representing for the people, and standing against the gross law passed by Governor Brewer called SB 1070.
HE’S GOT THAT SHAPESHIFTING VOICE that can squeeze gasoline from a model car; he’s the everchanging pixie, the spider-wrangler from mars, the supragenderous figure who leaps over dividers to swing from the stars…
TAKING A TRIP back to the days of my youth…this is a happy tune that still makes me feel good when those opening chords begin. Love, disco, and an ode to someone who lifts the heart…and the feet. Do you remember this number?
A VERY SPECIAL FEBRUARY SIX EDITION of Your Weekly Vinyl Reminda. Full length and with as much heart, soul, and hipshaking, shoulderrolling, chinthrusting jammifunkalicious and historial tastiness possible.
YOUR WEEKLY VINYL REMINDA! This one is beautifully decorated with imagery, heart, and those glimpses of humanity that bobby d. is so good at giving us.
I AM PRETTY SURE most can guess this one without much effort. But isn’t that original label sweet? And the song, it nearly goes without saying, is a timeless reminder of the true size of the universe. Aaaand of how badass George Harrison’s guitar sound will always be.
CONVENIENTLY, this one skips just as the name of the refrain sounds out the title. But come on! You should know this one, right? You lived through the 80s! Can you guess the band and song?
GETTING BACK TO OUR RITUALS, here’s your Weekly Vinyl Reminda, just like that same old used ta be….Can you name this timeless musician performing a classic tune recorded 38 years ago?
THIS TIME I’m going way back, way back to the tried and true classics. So forget your troubles and name this tune, which contains completely free of charge, one recipe for both joy and social change!
WHEN I WAS TWENTY YEARS OLD I saw him play, and I was camped out on the side of a hill with a lot of other people. How do I know right away that I was 20? Because it was a 20th anniversary of Woodstock concert, and when it comes to the moon landing or Woodstock, we all share the same age. Do you know who this is? This man who can strum his heart into six strings, and four decades strong?
DIGGIN’ DOWN DEEP into one of my precious crates of vinyl cargo, I come up with this collection of blues and jazz-riddled riffs released in 1973 on Scepter Records. This tune happens to be a well-known cover. Can you name the original singer, the title, and who sings it here?
THIS WEEK’S VINYL REMINDA comes atcha reminding us that passive existence may be calmer and less fraught with conflict, but there’s only one real way to confront injustices and that is confront them. I’ve been hearing this one since I was a boy. Can you name the artist who reminds us that we are able? Can you name la cancion upon the turntable?
WELCOME ONCE AGAIN to your Weekly Vinyl Reminda! Last week we spun a moment or two of Jingo, by Santana. This week’s tune is so funktastic that you may just find yourself locked into the rhythm and put away in the house of Groove for a minnit. Who is responsible for this arresting beat and what’s it called?
WELCOME ONCE AGAIN to your Friday Vinyl Reminda! Let’s kick off our Viernes with a short splash of sweet, sweet music as it can only be experienced on vinyl. First one to name this song in the comments wins a chocolate coffee bean that I will eat in your honor.
ONE MINUTE AND THIRTY SECONDS of vinyl and video to bring a little excellence and positive energy into your day. In fact, I think Vinyl Reminders will be a regular feature going forward. There is just something so soothing about a turntable, about a record needle. Takes me back to the earliest days I can remember.
