It was bound to happen at some point. I bought my first #shellac / #78rpm records this weekend 🕳️🐇

The cover is back on! This one had some really persistent dead spots that took a lot of patience to build up.

Yessss finally decided that was enough french polish

You can see reflections in it and it doesn’t hold fingerprints

I only refinished the parts of the cabinet that were easy to disassemble, plus those were the ones with the worst water damage

"The present is the repeater, the past is repetition itself, but the future is that which is repeated. Furthermore, the secret of repetition as a whole lies in that which is repeated, in that which is twice signified. The future, which subordinates the other two to itself and strips them of their autonomy, is the royal repetition" (Gilles Deleuze1968)

"Asia Minor" is a 1961 #instrumental recording by #JimmyWisner (operating under the name Kokomo so as to not alienate his #jazz fans). It is a #rockAndRoll adaptation of #EdvardGrieg's "#PianoConcertoInAMinor", using #shellac on the hammers of a cheap piano so as to induce a #honkytonk sound. He was turned down by 10 labels and had to release the track on his own label Future Records. The song became a hit, reaching No. 8 on the #Billboard Hot 100.

Hasard du calendrier, j'ai écouté le dernier album de Shellac (l'excellent To all trains, en vinyle) hier alors qu'on commémorait les 2 ans du décès de Steve Albini…
