Welcome To My Dream
2026 U.S. 2xLP RSD reissue
Silver vinyl
The other title from this RSD that I really wanted, and was happy to receive early.
Back in 1991, I heard the song “The City Sleeps” on the radio on WBRU.
I was instantly captivated by it, and it took me a long time after that to find it on CD. We’re talking almost a whole year.
Once I got it, I was fully immersed in it for months.
It’s a great hip-hop album with killer instrumentation; sometimes jazzy, sometimes spooky, sometimes just old school sounding hiphop.
They did a great job on this reissue, and the remixes and expanded material is quite interesting.
A horribly under appreciated artist, and a great album.

A bit of a #recordstoreday plea from your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape, for all of you who plan to head out for #rsd tomorrow:
When you’re in your local shops tomorrow, trying to score whatever it is you’re after, don’t forget to grab some things that your store can actually make profit on.
Find some USED vinyl, USED CDs, maybe some T-Shirts or store branded record bags.
When RSD started, it wasn’t about over-priced picture discs and $50 Taylor Swift 7” singles.
It was about getting you to the store, and getting you to support your independent record shops, and contributing to their survival, as well as everything they do for your community.
Have fun out there tomorrow everybody.
Your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape loves you.

WEEN
Europe 90
2026 U.S. 3xLP Ltd. Edition RSD
@ #45rpm
It pays to know people.
Got ALL of my RSD stuff early, with THIS being the crown jewel.
Some of the “brownest” Ween ever, and for ANY disciple of Gene, Dean AND Boognish, this is pure gold.
Pure. BROWN. Gold.
For me, it’s worth having for the long lost studio sessions recorded in Eindhoven, which has an incredible “Albino Sunburn Girl” and a dope version of “Push th’ Little Daisies”.
According to Dean, the “Live in Basel 1990” portion of this is the best Ween show of all time.
They played in front of one person (their manager) for the majority of the gig, and by the end, there were five.
That’s progress, bro.

BBC4 is broadcasting a #Prince concert i’ve never seen before and now am angry thinking of what fascists took from us when they set to destroy the NEA & PBS back in the Bush/Reagan era.
you would think whiteist dingbats would want a bigger and better public TV in this country; but nOooooOoooo. they went and made PBS a poor subsidiary of BBC and then paid quislings in the UK to destroy their own public media.
Today’s workday: taught a couple Alexander technique students. Then practised some (about a million it felt like) hymns for a church service next Sunday. In Dutch. Then a recorder lesson and one more AT-lesson. After dinner rushed through two parts of Mozart op35 on bassoon, just before the recorder group arrived to practise for tomorrow’s students’ concert. It was not a boring day!

LARRY TOWELL
Feathers and Bones
1980 Canada pressing
A SUPER obscure but wonderful #folk record gets last spin of the night.
I can’t remember where I found this, but I’ve had it for close to two decades, and every time I throw it on, I fall in love with it all over again.
A private press record, it came long before what Larry Towell was most remembered for: being a dope photographer for the international agency Magnum Photos.
Musically, it is very much of the stark, acoustic guitar driven lo-fi folk tradition. It’s produced very sparsely; most likely recorded on limited (or sub-par) equipment, probably at a house or in a basement.
There is ZERO gloss about this album; more an off-the-cuff document than an album made for product or industry. And it’s in THAT I think where it’s magic comes from.
Larry’s vocals are intimate and subdued, and you just feel like you’re in the room with the guy.
👍👍

GLENN BRANCA
The Ascension
2014 U.S. reissue
Continuing with the odd and unusual tonight.
A very loud and noisy experiment in resonance, and one of the greatest #experimental #artrock albums of all time.
The album is a study in alternate guitar tunings, and the resonances that are generated by those tunings by MULTIPLE guitars.
It was universally acclaimed by just about everybody in 1981, but that didn’t help sell any records or get Glenn signed by anyone that could help the album penetrate the mainframe.
Four guitarists, one bass player, one drummer, one of those guitarists being Lee Renaldo, who would later go on to join Sonic Youth.
Repeated harmonics, overtones from excessive feedback, and dense sonic landscapes that do a very good job of putting across what (supposedly) his live shows were like.
Loud and powerful.
And a great sounding reissue by Superior Viaduct.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Poetry Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1797
Music Iron Maiden 1982
I've recited this poem by heart for my British English professor, she was so blown away that I got the highest Mark she has ever given in her career of 30 years
The poem tells of the mariner stopping a man who is on his way to a wedding ceremony so that the mariner can share his story. The Wedding-Guest's reaction turns from amusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner's story progresses, as can be seen in the language style; Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger, the supernatural, or serenity, depending on the mood in different parts of the poem.
The Rime is Coleridge's longest major poem.[2] It is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.[3]

While exploring, I came across a reference to this "ex-USSR" tribute album to the Dropkick Murphys. It's pretty good, although hearing the lyrics veer between EN and Soviet bloc languages was always a bit surprising.
Also learned about Ukrainian "Celtic punk" band O' Hamster, who are also pretty great.

MARTIN MULL
Sex And Violins
1978 U.S. pressing
A deeply sentimental favorite.
I was in desperate need of a few laughs today, so this was a no brainer, seeing that it has never once failed to make me smile or laugh.
Not only is this shit FUNNY, but there’s great songcraft going on here, with some vibes that are reminiscent of Randy Newman and early Tom Waits.
Martin Mull was a comedic genius, a great actor, and criminally underrated.
His Johnny Carson appearances were fucking GREAT, and everything Martin was in was made better for having him in it.
It was a sad day for me when he died.

It's time for teaser of the week's Other People's Music. Each post in this thread will include the first line of a review, plus links to the music, socials, and full writeup.
Don't need a tease? Read the whole thing here:
"and when Justice is gone, there's always force" sings Laurie Anderson in her seminal 'O Superman' just on the radio now....
If you like Black Metal (and I'm speaking as someone who enjoys metal music), be careful which artist/band you're listening to. There are literal nazi playing black metal music.
It is not that surprising, considering hatred is one of the pillar foundation that built the genre decades ago. Sure, black metal has changed much in modern times but these nazi artists still exist in black metal music scene.

Something made me think of Mary's Danish the other day; probably haven't listened to them in a couple decades... This is from their first album There Goes the Wondertruck (1989).
If there's any silver lining to AI, it's that authentic effort might see some long overdue rewards.
This provides a little bit of comfort when looking at the long tail effect of the plagiarism machines.
Being someone who first released a cassette recorded in a basement in 1989, I prefer to be an optimist.
Maybe the game changes for people who never had much of a budget. It's certainly worth contemplating.

If writing your own music got your foot in the door of the industry, using AI isn't the same as writing your own music.
We either draw the line at real composition, or watch everything become compost.
You were wrong to frame this as an advancement, Terry. How do I know?
Because my music is the reason MM refused to carry CDs burned by an artist or indie label. Because the local label used bad CD-Rs.
Remember your own track record with new tech.
