Very good entry. Who knew that about that Eddie Vedder song... and that it wasn't Eddie Vedder. Perhaps my favorite Paul Simon record. Such a gorgeos record. Best of luck Brian.
You spin that globe very impressively. I had Falco as a kid but not really feeling the need to pick up again. I was not aware he passed in car accident. Go betweens are great , maybe you only have one since I think virtually all records are expensive and hard to find.
I can't spin a basketball on my finger, so this is as close as I can get to that. I did once see a used copy of the first Go-Betweens box set a few years ago, and the price seemed to expensive, so I passed. Looking back, I think it was a great deal. I hate when that happens.
Hi Brian - thanks for the shout out very kind. I was lucky enough to find an OG Bone Machine with the Going Out West 10" included for £8 at a fair about 10 years ago - I must revisit it as not played for ages. Interesting approach to the continents. I think I was surprised you didn't have much to pick from for South America and Africa (is that fair?) but good alternative choices...Madame Butterfly makes it into my top 100 singles I own list I think...cheers Dale
Hi Dale, My, you got a deal on that Bone Machine with the 10" too. This contest made me realize that I am largely focussed on Canada, USA, and the UK. I should really try to be more diverse 🙂 We will see how that goes ...
Excellent job Brian! The globe was a nice touch. I always learn something with your videos. I didn’t realize that Big Harvest was a Canadian guy, nor did I realize there was a lawsuit involved with EV’s cover. Thanks for the kind words Brian. I’m looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks. Consider yourself entered!
Hey Brian! Nice choices for the Around the World challenge- you’re the first person I’ve ever seen show that Malcolm McLaren album (I have that , too!) ….it’s…well….‘interesting’ for sure 🤔👍 Great job! Cheers-R
Yes! An Embryonic globe spin to kick it off! Outstanding! You waited for Tom Waits. Not something I would do. 🤠 Patty just walked through the room and heard me watching your video. “Is that Brian from the party?”…I love Marley’s Survival album. I remember Falco. Sad ending. “I can’t remember the last time I listened to this”…I love that Madame Butterfly from Malcolm. Very cool music video too for it as well. “I can’t really put John Cale in another video”…I will remember those words when you go a part 11! I actually have a copy of that Indio album, but on CD from when it was first released. It’s a cool album. Nice logo hat. Go Argos! ✌️
"Brian from the party" makes it sound like I made an impression! Falco was only 4o when he died. Awful. I remember quite liking the Madame Butterfly video 😉 Argos! I am not even a huge fan, but Toronto could use the win.
Nothing from Africa? 😮 To be honest I have next to nothing from Africa myself but I did order one by a death metal band from Botswana called Overthrust. Best of luck in the contest Brian 🍻
Hi Brian, I’ve a few go between albums not easy to find but rewarding when you find them .. I’d been missing dale he’s one of my favourite channels .. good luck in the contest 👍
Yes, agreed on Go-Betweens. They are a band I rarely see anything from in the bins. Ii once saw a used copy of the box the Go-Betweens Anthology Volume 1 in a store a few years ago and I opted not to buy it. I regret that decision now 😔
Hi Brian. I love Rhythm of the Saints though it kind of sits in the shadow of Graceland. I was out digging with a friend on Saturday, and he pulled out a copy of ROTS and asked me if he should pick it up, being a fan of Graceland, and I don't think I gave too convincing an answer as he ended up not picking it up! 'Survival' is one of the Bob Marleys I'm still looking for - my Bob collecting is kind of geological in time-span. I've never seen a copy of Fans, though I have Duck Rock in the collection.
Hi Brian, Nice entry. I really like Bob Marley's Survival, so a good choice for representing Africa. I'm already subscribed to Dale's channel. I might have a go at this if I can sort out something for Antarctica. Cheers Mike
Well done, as always Brian! I became aware of Chris' channel via Peter's 'Music Is A Journey' entry, have subscribed and enjoying his video library. I had that original version of 'Hard Sun' by Indio on an old CD compilation issued by CMJ (e.g. College Music Journal) - it's a great song. Did not realize Indio was just one guy. I also only have one Go-Betweens (Tallulah), and I've griped before how much their catalog can cost. Making a list to see what I can come up with for an entry as well.
@@EmbryonicRobot Indeed it is. Okay, my list is complete - now I just need to squeeze in some time to make it! Work really cuts into my personal time these days..sigh...
It’s a coincidence that you mention Falco because for some bizarre reason that song popped into my head last night. Some of my friends loved that song along with Life Is Life, Rock Me Amadeus, and Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I guess I’m used to hanging out with people whose tastes differ from mine. Either that or I’m just an oddball. Speaking of balls, when I first clicked on your video, I thought you were spinning that globe on her finger!
A great set of records, Brian. Bone Machine is one of my favorite Waits' albums, too. I still don't have it on vinyl, though! One of my favorite songs by Paul Simon is the Cool, Cool River from Rhythm of the Saints. Made me happy to see you show that record! Good luck, Brian!
Hi Mark, Cool, Cool River is great! I've met a few people who don't care for Graceland or Rhythm of the Saints or Paul Simon in general, which always confounds me 🤔
Is that As the World Turns? But no, it's Embryonic Robot. That's even better. Great Tom Waits album, one I haven't found on vinyl yet. I didn't know that Falco had passed away. Somehow that one slipped by me back then. Cool David J 12". Great response and good luck in the contest!
Falco died in 1998, but I only found out a few years back. Tragic. I think my mom watched As the World Turns. I always found soaps to be very very boring. The VC is far more interesting!
@EmbryonicRobot Soaps were always dumb as far as I was concerned except for Dark Shadows which I used to hurry home from school to watch. I'd probably watch it now and think that it's cheesy lol
Tom Waits is a great random selection and Bone Machine is a great album and I recently bought the vinyl as I had the CD as well. Until the reissue, prices were exurbanite for a vinyl copy. I am a fan of the Paul Simon and Bob Marley albums too. I do remember the big Falco hit but not much else. I was thinking about doing this contest and I was going to chose The Go-Betweens, now I'll have to reconsider. I looked up if anyone did a song called Antartica and I was sure you were going to use John Cale. Great shoutout.
I read some comments on TH-cam when this album was reissued, and I recall that there were apparently issues with surface noise, etc. I think my copy sounds OK, but I have never compared it with either my CD copy or streaming. I should do that, but I am happy with the copy I got 🙂
Africa..Yvonne Chaka Chaka greatest hits Australia/Iggy Azalea rap singer.... North America/Trampled by Turtles/Album..Songs from a ghost town South America..Los Lobos/Will the Wolf Survive Europe(Italy)..Aqua Fragile( Prof band) album "Mass Media Stars" Asia...Kitaro/Silk Road album Antarctica/Men Without hats had a song.."Antarctica"
Now that you mention it, I think Gatefold33 does have a spreadsheet! I'm too lazy to do that. In fact, it's a minor miracle that I put my stuff in Discogs!
I look at this humongous wall of records behind you Brian and wonder how you don’t have any music from South America or Africa. What to do with you. Nice picks but time to dip your toe into the music of the world. Well done
HP you're now adding stunts to the repertoire. Discogs did well picking Tom Waits. It's probably my favourite record of his too. Paul Simon that well know South American artist 😂 You don't have any Zamrock or Nigerian Funk? No Fela? I'm shocked. But you have the writer of Rock Me Amadeus. At least you got an Australian band from Australia 😂Hmm really stretching it on this one. A good try and your winning personality gets you through 👍
I do think I need even more stunts and props. Maybe I will have fireworks in future, so something. No, no Fela 😔 No Africa at all. That's sad. I suppose I am too western-centric. I should probably purge that Falco record!
@ Indoor Fireworks in tribute to Elvis. I think you’d dig some zamrock & theres gotta be at least one Fela out of his 50,000 albums that you’d like. Expensive Shit is a good one to start with.
@@EmbryonicRobot Just don't chase the OG's like Steve. They all seem to be completely trashed in everyway. He seems to like the idea that he has some African dirt in his home though.
Very good entry. Who knew that about that Eddie Vedder song... and that it wasn't Eddie Vedder.

That is a really great Paul Simon record. I realize that I have not played it in a very long time, so I should!

Great selection as usual Brian. Always something new for me. Hope all is well. Cheers
Thanks, man! This was a bit challenging 🙂
Very interesting. Loved the back stories on the albums. Well done.
Thanks, Tony P! This was fun and challenging contest 🙂
Hey Brian! Nice choices for the Around the World challenge- you’re the first person I’ve ever seen show that Malcolm McLaren album (I have that , too!) ….it’s…well….‘interesting’ for sure 🤔👍 Great job! Cheers-R

Death metal from Botswana? I had no idea!
Nice stuff, and way to sneak Mr Cale into the contest!
I should start an all-Cale channel 🙂
Good use of props Brian ! I do love The Obvious Child - great song - and you can’t beat a bit of Bob Marley either ❤ stay well 👍🫡🇬🇧
I need to use more props in future, I think!

Loved the globe intro !
I felt like I could use a few more props. Maybe I need a cat or dog to help keep things interesting...
Hey Brian. Great video. Loved your choices and your outside the box thinking on Africa & Antarctica - I’m going to have to do that myself. Cheers 😎
There were some difficult aspects to this challenge! I'll look forward to your video if you make one 🙂
@ I’m running into a few myself. Gonna go way outside the box. 😹
Hi Brian, Nice entry. I really like Bob Marley's Survival, so a good choice for representing Africa. I'm already subscribed to Dale's channel. I might have a go at this if I can sort out something for Antarctica. Cheers Mike
Antarctica is the tough one, unless you have an album with penguins on the cover!

Cool. I'd like to see what you come up with. I rarely (almost never) see anything by the Go-Betweens up here. It is frustrating 😔

Now I feel out of the loop, since I have never even heard of Dark Shadows!
@EmbryonicRobot Check it out. It's a soap opera about vampires that was on TV in the 70s.

Hi Randy, Sorry about the Go-Betweens! I keep remembering early advice about acting fast around here 🙂 I am usually slow...
That's a great Paul Simon record. Malcolm McLaren is a cool artist who never gets mentioned in the VC. I really like Eddie Vedder's cover.
Thanks, Mark. You are right; I rarely see anyone mention Malcolm McLaren!
How does the Bone Machine reissue sound? Lot of complaints online. I never know what to believe though
I read some comments on TH-cam when this album was reissued, and I recall that there were apparently issues with surface noise, etc. I think my copy sounds OK, but I have never compared it with either my CD copy or streaming. I should do that, but I am happy with the copy I got 🙂

Asia...Kitaro/Silk Road album

Great choices 🙂 Being Canadian, I should have thought of Men Without Hats!
I don’t think I’ve heard Tom Waits on the radio. Is Gatefold33 the dude that has spread sheets of everything he listens to.
Now that you mention it, I think Gatefold33 does have a spreadsheet! I'm too lazy to do that. In fact, it's a minor miracle that I put my stuff in Discogs!

It's a shame really, especially after seeing so much Zamrock in your collection. I guess I need to be more international!
Anything but the discogs random item generator.
Ha ha 😆
