Whats on your turntable tonight?

Steely Dan’s Aja

Pulled out my US of A after @middlemass posted it. Moved on to High Tide - Sea Shanties and then New Sound of Numbers - Liberty Seeds. Ended up being an electrified strings kind of session. 

@curiousjim glad you're enjoying artful dodger--they have a third major label record, babes on broadway, which is terrible, but the first two and the aforesaid "rave on" are the bomb.

further picks today:

rage to live, s/t--very intelligent 80s altrock w/some country & r&b overtones--the principal has a lot of range as a songwriter and fully half these tunes are classic.

robin lane & the chartbusters, s/t--jangly bar band sorta reminiscent of (and virtually as good as) the pretenders; i'm sorta surprised they never hit big.  

@mytthor, an Oracle? You are very privileged! I owned a MK3 at one time, but wanted a Mk5. Never did I know that the cheapest time to own one would be in 1999. A Mk6 was even available here for as cheap as $4500 here on AG 6 years ago. The seller wouldn’t ship it 2 states over from California. I didn’t blame him. Nice TT!

I could listen to all the jazz recordings one time each for the rest of my life, yet still not come close to listening to all of them. 
 

Tonight it’s the late great Hank Mobley’s Workout LP. A great and overlooked album. Mobley was a great artist. How many haven’t even heard of him?
