I got stuck late at work and now I'm waiting to pick my girlfriend up from school, so I haven't spun any records yet today. I am, however, bumping Indecision's album Most Precious Blood, mightily. For those unfamiliar, they were a brooklyn hardcore band from the late 90s that flirted with metal and noise a lot more than your typical NYHC bands. Good rainy day music (which today is) and excellent shitty day music (which it also was).
What up Boombap ?? Yo , I get in a mood every once in a while to listen to Fleetwood Mac , and it seems like it's hard to get out of that mood once your in it ..

Welcome aboard !! I checked out Indecision , not bad . I'm not entirely sur why , but it made me want to listen to some of Candidria's old stuff.
The 5th Dimension - The Age Of Aquarius lp . Such a good often overlooked album . When I need a feel good album to start the day with , this one comes to mind often . Soulful , a little funky , uplifting , and just all around fun to listen to . Lots of great harmonizing on here too..
School Me ! Volume One 1968-1975 High Scool And Collegiate Jazz, Funk, Soul, And Psychedelia 2lp . Yo, if my high school band sounded like this , I probably would've had to join . The intro to this album is a school band playing the Let The Sunshine In portion of the Age Of Aquarius track I just posted . This is a very good listen if your into funk and soul instrumentation .Some of these kids had to make it into bands later . Most of the recordings on here are pretty raw , but it actually adds to the sound instead of taking away from it . A definite solid listen . Couldn't find any videos from this , but I am posting from my phone and youtube is a little limited on it .
Darondo - Let Amy People Go lp . I remember reading some great reviews of this album years back , but had a hard time believing it could be as good as people said . I was wrong !! This dude plays funky soul with a hint of jazz like he invented it . At times , he gets an Al Green sound that make Al sound like he bit the style . This is probably my favorite album that I have personally bought myself in a long time. I caught it on the recent repress on transparent coke bottle colored vinyl .
Menahan Street Band - The Crossing lp . First off , I want to say thanks to Rchecka because he hooked me up with this album on a trade . I copped their first album Make The Road By Walking some years back , and remember thinking there is no way they could top this . Although it's not unusual lately , I was wrong ( again ) . This album is amazing !! They honestly have a style of funky soul instrumentation that I don't think any other band could pull off . There are some nice exotic touches to this album and the drums are so tight . A solid listen from the first to last groove . Thanks again Homie !!
Billie Holiday - At Stoyville lp . I have always loved Billie Holiday , but am definitely lacking vinyl by her . I was happy to see this album as a Black Friday release , but then saddened when I couldn't make it out for BF . Luckily for me , there were quite a few copies for sale online the next day . This is an amazing live show recording . Her voice sounds as beautiful as ever on here !!! I could close my eyes and almost picture myself in the crowd . If your a fan , make sure to cop this if you haven't already . Pressed up on white vinyl that's almost as stunning as her beautiful picture on the cover .. Sorry , no vids again .
And last but not least ...
The Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard In My Backyard lp . Another Black Friday release I though I might miss , but luckily didn't !! I have been a fan of this album since the 5th grade . You get humor , anger , political incorrectness ( I guess that's how you would say that) , silliness , and all the other things that make up a great DM record . These dudes had a style of punk all their own . I was lucky enough to cop one of the 100 green pressings in this 3000 piece run .
That's all for now ..
