ANDY WHITE
Rave On Andy White
1986 Germany pressing

A bit of a Friday “power of suggestion” post.

I think it was @ironmanrecords who posted this not too long ago, and I was very pleased to see it. It reminded me that it’d been a while since I heard it.

If you’re unfamiliar with Andy White, he is an incredibly talented Northern Irish poet, author and singer/songwriter who wields a familiar and comforting brand of #folk -y rock.

Rave On was his very first full-length, and since then, has put out a SLEW of exceptional records.
He’s worked with TONS of notable artists and musicians over the years, including Peter Gabriel, so that should give you a clue as to how well respected he is.

Melodic and understated acoustic storytelling of the highest quality. His voice is never overpowering or theatrical, just gentle and conversational, like he’s telling you and you alone a story directly.

My 1979 turntable was the third one I bought. The first was a $100 mistake. This article is what I wish someone had told me before I started.

Someone paid $45,000 for a turntable. That person is not your benchmark.

TORTOISE
Touch
2025 U.S. pressing

Great way to get my Friday going, & one of my absolute favorite records of last year.

To me, it’s always astonishing when a band makes what very well may be one of their best records so deep into their career.

Tortoise has been at it so long, and for my own personal tastes, I haven’t been much of a fan of what they’ve been doing their last few records.

To me, Touch is right next to the albums that made me fall in love with them in the beginning. Records like Millions Now Living Will Never Die, the self-titled, and TNT.

There’s a sense of cinematic adventure here, and for me, interstellar miles more engaging than their last record The Catastrophist. The members of Tortoise live in three different U.S. cities now, which changed their process of developing songs.

More of whatever that process is, please.
Worth every bit of your time.
Wonderful record.

I’ve been quietly rebuilding Sonic Pulse Reviews over the past few months.

It finally feels like home.

If you still believe albums matter, vinyl matters, and music deserves more than background noise…

43 years ago today, April 2, 1983, Jim Glaser debuted at #80 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “You Got Me Running". It went on to peak at #28 and spent a total of 13 weeks on the chart.

It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM singles. I enjoyed listening to this song on the radio and went to my favorite record store to buy and added it to my treasured music collection 4+ decades ago.
