Heute Neu reingekommen:
- Enter Shikari - Lose Your Self
- Rigo Starr - Long Long Road
- Buena Vista Social Club - Lost and Found
und
- Psyche - II :
"Auf ihrem zweiten Album erweitern Psyché ihre einzigartige Mischung aus Groove und Psychedelia um eine subtile politische Dimension. In Psychés Vision dient ihre Heimatstadt Neapel als pulsierender Schmelztiegel, in dem Klänge aus Nordafrika und dem Nahen Osten auf die Echos ferner Küsten wie Brasilien und Kolumbien treffen. Ihr Sound bewegt sich zwischen Cosmic Funk, Desert Blues, Cumbia, Dub und Jazz und wird durch den Einsatz analoger Synthesizer und treibender Basslines getragen. Die LP gewinnt dank der Zusammenarbeit mit dem tunesischen Sänger Ziad Trabelsi und der türkischen Sängerin MERVE (Alt?n Gün) an internationaler und politischer Bedeutung. Psyché II ist die Essenz einer Reise durch Kulturen und Identitäten: ein Album, in dem die gegenseitige Befruchtung und ein nomadischer Geist die Grundpfeiler eines zeitgenössischen Sounds bilden - verwurzelt im Mittelmeerraum und gleichzeitig weltoffen." #Vinyl #Musik #Lpcafewien #Plattenladen #recordstores

THIS is the most uncomfortable and unsettling piece of art I’ve ever had to piss in front of in my entire life.

Can you give me a minute, Frank?

I’m not as comfortable in the bathroom as you are.

Cataloging Black-owned record stores

As part of celebrating Black History Month, here’s a list of known Black-owned record stores in the United States and other places around the globe. The list includes those stores that are either fully or partially Black-owned.

Sadly, as with all variations of brick and mortar record retailers, the advent of streaming, digital downloading, and online retailers like Amazon.com has vastly decreased the number of Black-owned record stores. It was also noteworthy that several stores only recently identified in previously published stories/articles (in the past five years) were discovered to have now closed permanently.

Kudos to these business owners for weathering the economic, social, and technological challenges of owning and operating an independent record store in the 21st Century. Please feel free to forward any additions, corrections, or suggestions to this list.

Peace!

Yesterday was fun. I visited the charming Music Unbound record store in Enschede where my brother’s friend Sjors Trimbach held a talk about band logos including a Futura/Univers readability test for the Oasis logo plus a logo zine. And also, found a Dendemann album with lettering and artwork by @eWalthert in the rarities bin!
