Hey Shawn! Great records! Sing Me a Song of Songmy by Freddie Hubbard and İlhan Mimaroğlu is truly one of those overlooked gems. The album defies conventional musical structures, with its language branching out in multiple direction as abstract, experimental, and thought-provoking without adhering to a single concise style. It’s as if the music itself is an exploration of chaos and beauty, perfectly mirroring the themes it tackles. You captured its essence beautifully in your description. And the cover art, Massacre in Korea by Pablo Picasso wich I love, elevates the record even further. It’s such a powerful anti-war statement, encapsulating the raw brutality of conflict and human suffering. This version expands on the artistic and thematic elements of the record, emphasizing its unique qualities and impact. Cheers!
I failed to mention the anti-war aspects of the record. Which is really important to the entire revolutionary feel of the record. The cover art, music and the politics behind it are what makes the record such a special experience. I’m glad you mentioned it. Thank you for watching. Cheers! Shawn
Thanks for the shout out Shawn! Very kind of you. And I'm very glad you're enjoying those records so much, I'm happy they've found their way to such a good home. Lovely video too, left me much to think over. Take care my friend ✌️
My wife bought that WOO album a few years ago by sampling it at the record store. It’s one of her favorites and has been in rotation at our house ever since.
I’m finding that there is a cool little cult of people who really love the Woo album. I don’t know how I managed to miss it for so long. Lol. Thank you for watching. Cheers! Shawn
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 You would really like Woo album, Steve. It’s stunning. Regarding Thunder I have some strong feelings; he was certainly self-medicating with alcohol and drugs. Probably suffering from depression or anxiety. Most people who abuse drugs are really trying to cope with something they don’t understand or can’t afford get help for. Most musicians have no healthcare coverage. This is why I believe the most important issue is universal healthcare coverage for everyone. I believe that so strongly. Have a wonderful holiday with your family Steve. Cheers! Shawn
Wow definitely interested in that Rolf Gehlhaar record. Never heard of Woo. I'll be checking that out too. Nice MC5. So Alone is killer. I didn't like the movie Velvet Goldmine, but I'm very picky with my rock 'n roll movies. There's always things they get wrong. If they can't even get the drummers hand hitting the snare in time with the sound instead of up in the air like usual, I'm never confident they will get other details right. I know it's fiction...but 😂 Having complained a lot about the film the bands they put together were a pretty decent set of players. Unfortunately I think we're in an incredible conservative time that instead of government shutting down radicals like in the old days it's corporations wary of their brand being hurt & they seem to wield much more powerful because they are multinational. Anyway that's my two cents worth. Cheers...Ben
The Gehlhaar is stunning. I can’t get enough of it. I can understand why someone wouldn’t care for the film, Velvet Goldmine. But I think it has something more it’s trying to say than a start history. Maybe in the same way that JFK took huge liberties with history to try to get us to think about what could have happened. In the same way, VG shows us the dreams of everyone involved during this short period of music history. The young man struggling with his sexuality but finds strength in seeing others that felt as he did. Of course, some of it was just ridiculous. Lol. Besides, any film with a depiction of the Stooges is halfway ok with me. Lol. Thanks for watching! Cheers. Shawn
@ Probably the only music movie that isn’t a doco that I really liked & thought they got it pretty right was Control. Although I’ll admit it’s quite bleak. I know what you mean about VG & what it’s trying to say. I just think there’s much better films dealing with sexuality. I’m very hard to please with any music related films or films that have music as part of the action. I’m so picky that it drives me crazy that every single film ever that has someone use any sort of microphone it feeds back just as they speak into it. I’m very hard to please in this regard 😂
WOO is the gift that keeps on giving. A really stacked back catalogue of great albums and the brothers Ives are still recording stuff to this day I believe...
I didn’t know where I’ve been with Woo. But it was the perfect VCLT for me. Rare do I play an album and immediately put it back on. But that’s what I did with Woo. I’ll need to investigate a little deeper into their discography. Thanks for watching. Shawn
Hey Shawn! Cool video. I think Velvet Goldmine movie was the nineties. Dug the idea of the movie but thought it was a little cheesy in execution. I’m a big 70s glam rock fan and the best thing to happen was the release of the Velvet Tinmine CD comp spoofing that movie’s title. A great comp of some of the unknown one ofc glam singles. One of the best cd comps I own to this day. Of course I’m biased. Love Johnny Thunders!! Great album! Enjoyed your video here. This is old school VC style. Show random records you like and some VcLT. Not seeing reviews of the reissue du jour or the same old same old. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving!! Cheers, Jon
You’re absolutely right Jon. 1998. I caught the mistake after the video and…I didn’t want to do it over. Lol. I was trying to say that the vinyl of the soundtrack came out in 2018. (That’s my excuse anyway). I’ll keep an eye out for that glam comp you mentioned. CDs are great for comps like that. I figured you’d be a Johnny Thunder fan. I think he’s a really underrated songwriter. Everyone recognizes him as a “rock star” or maybe a a guitar player. But he wrote some great, memorable songs. I have another album of all acoustic versions of his songs and it shows another side of the man. Thanks for watching. Have a great holiday. Cheers.
I subbed to Never Modern a few weeks ago but I had no idea who it was and also don’t recall how I found them so thanks for filling in the blanks, sort of, as I still don’t know who it actually is haha. Do enjoy their content though. Nice VCLT. Didn’t know much about Woo until Dom made a artist spotlight video on them some time ago, still haven’t delved in, but I’m sure I will at some point. That’s my favorite record with Hubbard on it. Nice vclt! I thought you were going to show the Black to comm band, alas I misread, you’d enjoy them though. Great stuff overall!
I feel truly lucky to such a great couple of albums. And there was another I saved for another video. The Hubbard is a record I’ve been after for a couple of years. And this one is a beautiful copy. I’m not familiar with the Back to Comm band but I bet they took some inspiration from the MC5. I check them out. Cool that you sub Never Modern. Great channel and a very good guy. Thanks for watching. Shawn
Thanks for sharing brother. Great stuff. I’ll admit that I’m a bit behind with my own exploration into unknown but exiting music. This helps with recalibrating my focus. 👍🏻✊🏻
Do you remember listening to the Rolf Genlhaar on Stunty’s stream? I think we both mentioned it in the stream. Very interesting album and the price is still reasonable. Thanks for watching Mariusz. Have a great holiday with your family. Cheers! Shawn
Yea… and there was another album i forgot to mention; Head Goes Wrong By Noise. Really interesting mix of electronic, hip hop and a cut up style. It’s an addictive listen. I keep going back to it.
Sorry I wasn’t more clear; Woo - It’s Cosy Inside. The title really fits the atmosphere of the music. Lots of different styles and elements come together without sounding like “too much “. If that makes sense. Highly recommend it you want something challenging and accessible at the same time. Cheers!

Love that Thunder album also, great stuff from a troubled man. Very nice VCLT. Happy Thanksgiving Shawn

Thunders 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Johnny Thunder was an under appropriate musician. Particularly as a songwriter. He wrote some great memorable tracks. Cheer! Shawn.
excellent vclt there, both have been in my shelves for some time.
Yea… and there was another album i forgot to mention; Head Goes Wrong By Noise. Really interesting mix of electronic, hip hop and a cut up style. It’s an addictive listen. I keep going back to it.
@@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084 don't know that one
@ very interesting stuff. Maybe I’ll do a video on it.
What is the first gift album Shawn, the "adventure" album, the cover looks a bit indie. Little politics talk is always good, cheers!
