#superfriendssunday

Continuing my week of posting albums turning 40 this year with two jazz-infused adult pop albums—#donaldfagen of #steelydan with The Nightfly, and the sublime Night & Day by #joejackson . Both deep albums if you dig in, but also comfortable just to ride the groove along the surface. Got a favorite from 1982? Send it along to @skymax.music.travel.style by Friday to join in #superfriendssunday this week! #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CivljtoOVc8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For this week’s #superfriendssunday, I’ve had the joy of hosting Jazz Week! I’ve done a week of jazz albums leading up to it, and I’ve saved the biggest artist in my heart for today… I’m hardly unique in my love for Miles Davis, but hey, when fans are right they’re right! Miles is the artist who kicked off my latest and still-ongoing jazz obsession about six years ago, and specifically it was his electric period. In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, and the Fillmore set are sacred texts, perfect in every planned and unplanned note. My In a Silent Way and Jack Johnson copies are #mobilefidelity pressings, two of the best-sounding (and most valuable!) records I own.

On the last #superfriendssunday of 2021, @funbobby68 had us choose our favorite acquisition of the year! Since I already counted down my favorite new releases of the year, I wanted to pick my favorite record I bought that wasn’t new but was new to me… and the band that has grabbed me by the hair and pulled me into its fandom this year has been Sparks. I’m not the only one who gained a new obsession from the Edgar Wright documentary—what a band!

Coming in on the home stretch of #superfriendssunday 12 Days of Christmas Challenge: 11 Pipers Piping, an album with horns! I wanted one with not only horns (and there are a lot of great ones on this record) but also flute, as the title would suggest. Eric Dolphy is a favorite of mine, the perfect balance between accessible and “out there” jazz. And though he’s best on sax, he plays just about every woodwind you can think of, including YAZZ FLUTE. #ericdolphy #jazz #jazzvinyl #bluenote #bluenotevinyl #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzTxmAPhw6/?utm_medium=tumblr

This week’s #superfriendssunday is New York City, hosted by @yakido ! There are a lot of ways to go here, so I went with my first thought—the street corner panorama on the cover of the Beastie Boys’ masterpiece Paul’s Boutique.

This week on #superfriendssunday @funkcroci has asked us to honor #nilerodgers ‘s birthday by picking an album that makes us dance! I went with a favorite from Earth, Wind, and Fire—though no one WANTS to see me dance, this is one record that will make it happen! Take a look at the other danceable records this week: @gardenofpearl @b_smith429 @herr.pojke @lbshel @frankenbeams @urmsonvinylfan @gencynide @michaelsalmons @biomechalien @karenvinylgirl @louisvinyl_terry @djjonnibravo @yakido @skymax.music.travel.style @troyjayadams @rexleetham @tomvece @whisky_tattoos_vinyl @subhuman65 @waxonwaxoff79 @beagle.eye.records @its_my_vette @recordsinmybasement @todayinvinylhistory @vinylinmemphis @shawnspins @audio.phool @staffroomrecords @magistervinyl @garys_records @concertpants @funkcroci #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CUASQY8Lp99/?utm_medium=tumblr

For this week’s #superfriendssunday , @biomechalien asked us to pick an album that reminds us of summer vacation! Growing up, my family’s mode of vacation was long, multi-destination road trips. As a teenager I treasured the long stretches of alone time in the back of the van, because I had music to hear. I associate a lot of great music with these memories, but one of my strongest memories is of the summer I was getting into Led Zeppelin. I have distinct memories of watching the road pass lazily by as Ramble On played on my Discman, which is trite I know, but I was a teenager—they’re not immunized to clichés yet!

A bonus image for my #superfriendssunday post today—I Robot with my robot, Gregor, who routinely tells me he wouldn’t wanna be like me while cleaning up my pet hair. I appreciate you, Gregor; please don’t replace me evolutionarily. #alanparsonsproject #irobot #progrock #progressiverock #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2J7YJM_V_/?igshid=qbb7k8ba96xv
