New favorite VINYL Album?

My Morning Jacket Circuital. A big step forward for MMJ. A kaleidescope that starts out echoing Savoy Brown, Tommy-era Who and darker 90's bands like Morphine and Acetone and one wild White Stripes femalisation in Horehound mode, then gradually softens toward Neil Young electric melodicism and even a few bubblegum & doo-wop inflections. There are some great brass arrangements in spots. It shouldn't cohere, but it does and creatively so. IMO the year's most interesting rock, with exceptional SQ on 2x 45 rpm.

LZ III Classic 45 rpm...

I am thoroughly enjoying Robbie Robertson's new one - "How To Be Clairvoyant" and Tomothy B Schmitt's "Expando".

Dgarretson - re Thurston Moore's new album - how is disc one for you? My copy is a fairly poor pressing. Disc two is near perfect though. Tried to return it, but the second copy had the same issue with disc one.

Beck's influence is all over the album making it the most commercial thing from Thurston Moore I've ever heard. It does sound a bit like Sonic Youth doing their take on Sea of Change:-). I dig it regardless:-).

Gonna try and spin MMJ's new one tonight!

Vince Guaraldi Trio, "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus" 180 gram 45RPM

This is excellent.
