What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus. On 12inch grooved spinning media.

 

Otis Redding - The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads. On 12inch grooved spinning media.

 

Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra



Possibly the first and only time Limp Bizkit may ever be associated with WBF, but this album is ridiculous. I'm not even going to say it's a guilty pleasure. Yes, it's rap-metal, but it's the very finest rap-metal in existence. John Otto is like the metal Clyde Stubblefield and Wes Borland is just a textural riff-maker extraordinaire. Speaking of which...

Wes Borland Crystal Machete



If you hate Limp Bizkit - and for sure, I have no reason to doubt that you do - then you could, if you're feeling adventurous check out what's one of the coolest post-rock soundtracks for a completely fictional never-made 80's sci-fi film ever made. It's like Vangelis and John Carpenter made an album and asked some weird rap-metal guitarist to produce it. Yep, it's that good.

 

Sting, "Brand New Day", DSD. Enjoying with a nice single malt.

 

Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girl. On 12inch grooved spinning media. 180g, Nonesuch, 2 LPs.

 

Al Di Meola, "World Sinfonia", Redbook.

 

Black Light Burns Cruel Melody (Wes Borland's side project now in hiatus)



The Contortionist Language



If you like Rush (like me), Allan Holdsworth (who I don't mind) or Dream Theatre (who I detest), you might like these guys. It's "progressive metal", so occasionally has cookie-monster vocals ala Meshuggah, but there's a lot more ambient soundscape stuff and melodic stuff going on too.

 

Motörhead - Motörhead. On 12inch grooved spinning media. 200g, Drastic Plastic.

Turn it up really really LOUD! Production is/was godawful - ton of fun though!
Need to look for a Vinyl "Ace of Spades"............

 

Jóhann Jóhannsson Arrival OST

 

Still grieving the loss of Leonard Cohen. Listening to the LP version of Jennifer Warnes, FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT, the Songs of Leonard Cohen. Ring the bells that still can ring.

I have the Tan Dun drums from another album...great stuff with subs! And yes, a big fan of MC| Solaar for probably 15-20 years now or whenever he came on the scene back in the day. Excellent...absolutely smooth and yet a hardness to his style at the same time. Very cool.

 

Yash - this is the Tan Dun we have....
