Whats Cooking at the V i n y l N i g h t Labs?

Well, a theme is being constructed with the help of the internet and Scotch. Once complete, a notification shall be sent to the "people in the know" (PITK). Once the PITK have been alerted, we shall listen to the music that I have picked through many nights of listening and Scotch. PITK should know the next Vinyl Night shall be on 23-04-10. PITK should be there. I will be there. Be there.

Thank You.

V i n y l N i g h t 05.03.10 recap

Yup, another V i n y l N i g h t is in the can.

Alex came home from Trent with her boyfriend Peter for Victoria's birthday, and enjoyed an evening with old people. She was really hoping Joanne and Beth would get really drunk and sing to Carol King, but it didn't happen. I think everyone was pretty tired and the evening, though really enjoyable, was a little more restrained.

Looking forward to the next one on 30.04.10

Bob's coconut shrimp with curry dip were amazing.

On to the records.



Bill Withers. Not the one with 'Ain't No Sunshine' but a really solid album. It is kindling an appreciation for 70's funk and soul, in which I must now search out and spend my money on it.



What better to follow up some 70's soul than with some 00's soul. This is the second album of hers that I have and love it. Will order her latest by the end of the week (pay day!). I like the medleys and her voice just captures the mood perfectly.



Thought this one might be fun as I like the song Sweet Emotion. That was nice. Rest was crap.



Always like the Fixx, Mainstream with out being mainstream. Quirky without being retarded. Something that I am aiming for in my life.



I hate this album. It's depressing. Don't get me wrong, I like depressing music. This one is depressing because it is sheer garbage that we paid good money for. Other people, that are my friends, seem to like it. I don't know why. Is that propeller supposed to be a bow tie? F-you A-holes.



Just a wonderfully produced album that really sounds fantastic. The music is on the better side of average from the 80's, but nothing special. It's the production that really comes through. This is not a re-issue, but a 24 year old pressing that has survived many moves. One of the albums I use when I got to HiFi shops and pretend to buy a system.



Wanted to give this a spin as I just downloaded Peter Gabriel's latest album 'Scratch My Back' from B&W's Society of Sound and it had the Talking Heads track 'Listening Wind'. That then made a great tie in to ...



Peter Gabriel. It's either self titled, '1' or 'Car'. Either way, love this album. We listened to a re-issue on 200 gram vinyl. No noise, just wonderful sound.
