Man, is this place fading out... What new album or new performer/group gets you mojo going these days? Tonight it is old ass Duran Duran's latest album--the complete vinyl edition...and I love it! :lol:Of course, I saw them perform recently... What speaks to you these dayze?

Have you heard the remixes from Future Past? The new Pete Tong mix of Give It All Up is good except they almost removed poor dear Tove Lo from the rack. Erol Alkan's remix of All Of You is decent, better than the album track IMO.

.

Speaking of Tove Lo, I really enjoyed Dirt Femme from start to finish.

Not Tight by Domi and JD Beck

Shifting Sands By Avishai Cohen

SOS by SZA

I'm still on my Elton John discography journey.

Santigold - Spirituals

Nas - "King's Disease III"

Not to derail this, but your comment interests me. Longtime fan that loved "Life Is Good", last album purchased was the Kanye-produced, and have always heard great things about each "King's Disease" but never purchased any of them (although Hit Boy continues to interest me as a beat maker/curator).

*

Might have to start with the 1st one over the holidays and take it from there...

Soul Revivers - On the Groove / Grrove Dub

Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero (gee, what a hook - can't get that out of my head)

Horace Andy - Midnight Rocker / Scorchers

Amber Mark - Three Dimensions Deep

Keb'Mo - Good To Be

Lydia Persaud - Moody31

All of them highly recommended - check them out and tell me what y'all think!

I've been going through music and replacing some of my old muisc with remasters.

Besides my Black Heat obsession that I've recently discovered (and can't get enough of), here's a list of new-to-me-stuff I'm digging:

Leroy Hutson

Earl Van Dyke

Sweet Vandals (great Spanish funk band)

Couple of Little Beaver albums that I haven't heard before.

Decided I'm about done with my vinyl collection I started during lockdown. Running out of room... LOL Got most of what I want from the past. I ordered the new Metallica LP coming out next April and then I'm done. I hope. LOL Today going old skool...

Listen to track no. 4 'The Line' -> Pure PRINCE

I just love this album; I can't help but think Prince would have loved this girl, too.

That's awesome! She has a lot of videos of the previous album on her YouTube page. That's how I became a fan. She also has a podcast and interviews alot of women artist. I've been dying to see her live, but she wasn't close. Glad you got to see her live. Did Greg Allman son perform with her?

Devon Allman did perform with her and Duane Betts was there, too. As well as many other Allman relatives and associates. My third year going to this Allman Family Revival and I enjoy it every year! Plus, they always introduce me to younger talented artists I'm not familiar with.

New to the beginning to this year but I want to bring Yola's "Stand For Myself" LP up again! Great songs on it and go see her live if you can. My favorite track: "Starlight!"

Another good one that came out on vinyl this year--Samantha Fish"

But who can stand up to the voice of Tina Turner at her best? Bought this at a local wrecka stowe a few weeks ago... I was as gone on this album as I was on Purple Rain at the same time in the 80s...
