#more for the vinyl collection

[top-the-cat]

Another random pick-up from Psychotron Records is this weird collection from Moondog, who was this blind, homeless jazz musician who allegedly used to stroll around New York creating music out of trash whilst wearing a viking helmet...

You may already know his work from samples by people like Mr Scruff or The Wiseguys; which is where i first knew him from. I had an old file of MP3s with his 'popular' tracks but saw this and figured i would give it a go, even though there are no tracks on there that i recognised. Pete even warned me that it was a bit weird, but that just makes me want it even more.

It's only about 40 mins long and apart from one spoken word track, its all just made up of jazz rhythms that sound like they are being played on old pots and pans to a crowd of beatniks... and if you know me then you know i'm all in for that!

I got my Face vinyl a few days ago and today I had the chance to open it

I like seeing the photos in a bigger format, I think they look better this way. It feels like this is more appropriate for Face, than a packaging looking like a notebook. It's a significant addition to my vinyl collection.

#m thoughts #jimin #jimin face #face vinyl #the prices for vinyls in kpop are not exactly justifiable #anyone can do what they want with their money #just as I did #it would be more understandable if it's a deluxe edition or smth #collecting in kpop is expensive #and as long as there's buying power nothing will change #I'm aware of it and I still buy it #and probably continue to do as long as I'm interested in an artist

I don't know if any of you listen to physical media since I know everyone and their mom has Spotify (or Soundcloud, I use both ✌), but if you listen to CD and Cassette, which ones do you like more? Storage, listening, for literally any reason.

I'm thinking about making an either CD or Cassette collection, as Tatsuro Yamashita doesn't do streaming services and it makes me think which one to get. Though, a lot of my favorite albums have CDs... (Nagisa Cosmetic, Contemode's 2 albums, Capsule, I'd also like to get my hands on Serani Poji's albums one day too).

CDs probably sound better (not 100% sure) but Cassette players look way nicer than. Circle Walkman 💀 Though nothing doesn't stop me from getting both too, I suppose

#vinyl too expensive nuh uh #oh to be a music head #grew up during the era where the world was making its transition from phys to digital unfortunately #so i only got glimpses of phys media. it makes me sad #tbh overall i still like digital as its cleaner and less waste but phys is also more interactable... #i think abt that one tiktok of that mom whos going thru her CD collection and does not want to get rid of all of them #i get it #etc

did a round of eye swaps this weekend! it's the most ive done all at once, and i gotta say, i do not recommend it. by the time i got new eyes in these four, my hands were begging me to stop, so poor Priscilla sat eyeless for a while. but I'm really happy with the results!

let me walk you through the process a bit.

i used this guide to help decide which eyes i wanted to use.

this all started because i wanted Daria's eyes for Zooey.

Daria's eyes don't match her color scheme at all, and this has always bothered me about her. they stand out too much, and its jarring. but that minty blue and pale pink are Zooey's colors exactly, it would complete her alien vibe perfectly.

but, unfortunately, Zooey and Daria have different eye chips. Daria has the Twins eye chip, which has four pegs to keep it in place in the socket, and Zooey has the newer B2 chip, which has only two prongs. i was worried that Daria's eyes wouldnt fit in Zooey's head, so i prepared a backup donor: Simone.

Simone has the CNY eye chip, first introduced in Lily Cheng, the Special Edition doll for the Chinese New Year in 2022. this eye mold is more similar to the B2 eyes since it also has only two prongs, so if Daria's eyes didnt sit right in Zooey, these might be a better fit. the colors arent as perfect, but it could work.

except that Darias eyes fit Zooey perfectly. she looks so cute! now her eyebrows are even more out of place, but I'll get to that later.

i had already taken out Simone's eyes to compare the two, so she was given Zooey's eyes.

i was blown away by how incredible she looks! so soft and sweet. i was fond of her before, but she's crawled up into my top ten faves with this one alteration.

now, i was going to give those eyes to Daria, but they obviously belong to Simone now. Daria still needs brown eyes though, so i brought out a more fitting donor for her: Priscilla. she has the same color eyes as Zooey, but in the Twins eye chip.

perfect for ms. Daria, much more natural. it's just what she needed.

now, i wasn't intending to bring Minnie into this, but her eyes are a bit unusually dark, and i had Simone's eyes sitting there.. and well. i already had the hair dryer out.

honestly? a serve. she has B2 eyes originally, like Zooey, so the lashes are Just under her eyelid but they still fit her sculpt pretty well.

at this point, my hands were aching, and i had worn a blister into my thumb, so i had to take a break. Pris was going into the stock box anyway, so there was no pressure to finish her, but the next day i came back and gave her Minnie's eyes for safekeeping.

she looks a little sleepy, but overall pretty cute. she probably won't stay this way because she's going into the potential custom pile, but its fine for now.

look at these four and how perfect they are!! Zooey and Daria came out exactly how i planned, but i am still so shook by how beautiful Simone is now. i just cant stop looking at her.

I'll be reblogging to add more photos, including side by side comparisons to the stock photos since tungle will only let me post 10 pictures at a time

#or is it 12? idk theres a limit though #im very pleased with my work but the tips of my thumbs are just numb now. #i really recommend wearing some sort of gloves if youre going to do this #just because the plastic has to be Hot and you wont realize your fingers are burning until theyre already burned #maybe like a cheap winter glove or a gardening glove #rubber/vinyl/latex gloves are probably too thin to actually help #I've done other eye swaps before just never this many at a time #i was feeling crafty i guess #well i was mostly looking at daria and zooey and Wishing. and then i remembered i could fix them #and again #zooey still doesnt look like this anymore #i took off her brows later #and she looks AWESOME #photos coming soon. #also more pics of simone because shes perfect. #my dolls #dolls #rainbow high #shadow high #rainbow high collection #rainbow high collector #doll collector #dollblr #doll custom #custom doll #doll mods #doll customization #rh #doll #rainbow high doll

i hope that everybody gets to experience the houses in motion special re-mixed version only available on a 12 inch vinyl uk 1981 release because it is infinitely superior to the album version unfortunately the youtube vinyl rip is awful and does not do justice to the boosted bass and clearer harmonies

#i will truly just have to teach myself how to digitise vinyl myself because it's a tragedy that more people haven't heard this version #talking heads #anyways it's one of my fave records i have in my collection and it kills me that you can't stream this particular mix anywhere

So I mentioned the other day that I had been vinyl shopping at Psychotron Records in Sutton Coldfield recently, and I am still working my way through my new finds…

We’ll start with this by Lee Scratch Perry and if you know Lee Scratch Perry, then you know exactly what this is going to be. Essentially, volume one of the 12” versions of his biggest hits of the 70s. They had the next couple of volumes in there, but I figured I would start at the start, as the opening track is the Original Upsetter 12” mix of Disco Devil, which you may know as Max Romero’s Chase The Devil or The Prodigy’s Out Of Space, or Dreadzone’s Iron Shirt, to name the first three that come straight to mind . (Apparently, according to Wikipedia, Max Romero’s came first, but Perry produced it and the original Disco Devil was his dub version)

But yeah, if you know that track, you know what this whole record is going to be about; five dubbed out tracks by either by him or produced for others by him, with plenty of echo, extended breaks, and let’s say hazy atmosphere to them.

My only criticism though is the bass isn’t as heavy as I figured it would be on the early tracks. I mean, they are all from the same end of the late 70’s but the tracks on the B side sound better, and I’ve got a pretty decent system to play it on, but its not as heavy and gut rumbling as I figured it would be… Still good though!

Lee Scratch Perry presents Disco Devil Vol 1, Discomixes From The Black Ark

OK, so this is just the 12” single and listening to it, it’s not the exact version that I know and to be honest, I’m not really that impressed with it. The quality is fine, but it kinda’ goes on a bit too long and it feels just a little forced. It’s like there’s no soul left in it. There’s the instrumental on the other side, but again, it’s the instrumental of this alternate version and yeah, if I wanted to sample or battle with it, then it’s there, but lets be fair, neither of those are really going to happen.

Plus, the title of it is weird. Everyone knows that Grandmaster Flash had nothing to do with it and it was Sylvia Robinson of Sugar Hill Records that made it and in turn destroyed the Furious Five, but why call it Grandmaster & Melle Mell? What’s the & got to do with it??

White Lines (Don’t Do It) by Grandmaster & Melle Mel

Now were talking! If you don’t know, Buddy Rich was a classic jazz drummer, who played with all sorts of greats from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Luis Armstrong to Count Basie and Charlie Parker. And when you listen to him, he fucking wails on those drums. I mean, he is firing off high speed drum & bass style breakbeats in perfect time, which as a teenager back then, would do the same things to you that jungle would do today.

The first side is a bit jazz standard business. Its calm and maybe a little smooth, but all the while you can hear him trying to restrain himself from going wild. Every now and then though, he lets loose with a little drum break or an inspired fill and it all kicks off. It picks up a bit on the second side with his band barely being able to keep up with him. Pure class!

Stick It by Buddy Rich

Have you been listening to BBCRadio6 over the last couple of weeks? They have been doing some specials on 50 years of hip-hop and some hip-hop specials from the decades. (It’s actually 90’s day on the radio today and I’ve been proper getting my rave on whilst I should be working!) But one of the groups they have been playing a fair bit is BDP, or Boogie Down Productions, which is essentially KRS-One, Scott La Rock, Red Alert, and a few other random DJ’s, producers, and people. And the point is, I’ve been quite surprised by how much I have been liking it. I mean, I’ve always been a hip-hop head, but figured all the best stuff came from the 90’s, as most of the best music does.

So I saw this from ’89 and figured I’d give it a spin as it was only £6. There are no tracks on there that I know but plenty of samples that I do. Its all classic funk and soul samples with the usual KRS socially conscious message over the top. Which is all good in my books.

Ghetto Music: The Blueprint Of Hip-Hop by Boogie Down Productions

I’ve spotted this in my local record shop a few times and looked it over it without buying it. And it was still there last time I was in, so I thought I’d have it away… and it’s like nothing else in my collection.

Essentially, its two guys, Big Black and Black Harold playing African, spiritual jazz on just kongo drums and a flute. There’s chants, rolling rhythms, screams, mysticism, and I’m sure the odd voodoo incantation in there for good measure.

It’s the soundtrack to beatniks sitting in a circle, smoking old grass, wearing polo-necks, stroking their beards, reciting poetry and I fucking love it!

I tell you, I was clearly born in the wrong time. I would have made a quality beatnik. Grooving to this, dropping out, getting stoned, writing bad poetry, sleeping around... Can you dig it daddy-O?

Message To Our Ancestors introducing Big Black

Last one for today and this was a compilation I spotted and bought it purely for the fact that it has Asha Puthli on it, who I first heard on Gilles Peterson’s show, about seven or so years ago. He was interviewing her, cutting with bits of her music, which was a mix of jazz, with a bit of sci-fi disco but not like how you would imagine. And he’s trying to get an age out of her, by asking what sort of year the tale she was relating to was and she stops him, and you could hear the look she gives him over the radio, and just goes “Darling. No” and I pretty much fell in love with her right there and then.

So yeah, bought this mainly as it opens with an Asha soulful disco jazz track and the rest are all fairly similar jazzy/disco rare groove numbers that would be make you feel like you’ve just uncovered some hidden gems going through your parents record collection in the loft.

Not sure why it's written out in biro on the label, and to be honest, it's not the best pressing either, but as the title suggests, these are cool classics....

I have this headcanon for how Jonathan got into the music he currently listens to and it’s low key wholesome.

I like to think that Hawkins has a local vinyl store that’s family owned. It’s mostly run by a dad and on weekends his teenage son helps out.

In 1979, Jonathan goes there to buy a new vinyl of whatever shit music his so called father listens to after Will scratched it. When he walks in, he hears this dark drawling sound coming from the speakers and immediately he is drawn to it.

The son of the owner takes notice of how intrigued Jonathan is with the music that he put on and decides that when he comes to the counter, he’ll tell them who it is.

When Jonathan does come, the owners son tells him that the bands name is Joy Division and hands him their album, Unknown Pleasures, on vinyl.

Jonathan, while happy that someone noticed his interest, explains to him that he doesn’t have his own record player. The owners son then asks if he has a cassette player and headphones to which he nods. He is then handed the cassette version of the it.

After that day, Jonathan became a regular visitor of the little shop and was introduced to many more bands that would shape him.

#I wanted to write a fic for this a few months ago but I couldn’t find my footing with it #the vinyl store owners are also one of the few family’s who are kind to Jonathan Will and Joyce (they do not like Lonnie) #I don’t have a name for vinyl store guys son so feel free to suggest some music related names for him #the son is grade 11 too btw so a similar age gap to Jonathan and Will (who will also become a regular) #if you have a small business vinyl store near you go to it! #I find that they have more of a selection than ones you can find in malls #it’s a good place to go when you want to start a collection #stranger things #jonathan byers #emily’s headcanons #emily’s ficlets #is this a ficlet though idk
