Ava is unsure how she feels about the new #JohnnyBlueSkies / #SturgillSimpson record, but I’ve started side 2 and I’m a fan. It’s a bit genre-bending which is probably why I’m immediately transfixed.
Johnny Blue Skies (Sturgill Simpson) - Mutiny After Midnight (2026)
This 1980 Lou Reed collection included nine Velvet Underground songs, greatly expanding my VU cuts, giving me a more solid foundation in both VU and Lou.

New at VinylDistractions: Lou Reed – Berlin https://vinyldistractions.com/lou-reed-berlin/
A record I never gave a lot of listens to, even though it very much fit my sensibilities then and now. It's better and more listenable than I remembered it, and falls right into my Marc Almond/Kurt Weill fascination.

This sounds great. The music itself, the drums, the instrumentation that somehow almost sounds like a big band despite being a quintet…apparently there are other instruments added in although the jacket doesn’t list instrumentation. I know Nat Adderley is on cornet.
So glad I took a chance on this.
#CannonballAdderley - Accent on Africa (1967)
This album as a whole is a little too “elevator music-y” for my taste, but years of staying up late watching Nick at Nite as a kid means I’ll just play side A twice to hear Taxi if I’m not in the mood for the whole thing. Even if it’s not all my jam, it’s high quality in general and I respect it.
But Angela is the best track by a wide margin IMO. It slaps.
#BobJames - Touchdown (1978)
Next up. #AhmadJamal
The rendition to start the record off of “Say a Little Prayer for You” was unexpectedly delightful. (I generally don’t care for that song.)
