Nice tag video, Jon. Wilco cover is an 11. Probably agree on the album being a 7.5 too, maybe an 8. Dirty Three and a new Bad Seeds record. Should be a good year for Warren Ellis fans.
I’m the same way for the most part. Although there were a couple of 2xLP jazz albums that I thoroughly enjoyed this year. It could be because we listen to so much music?
Your enthusiasm for the tag is bursting. 100% agree on the National. We have kept Alligator, Boxer and Trouble Will Find Me but each record they put out makes we want to purge those too. Perhaps you're not listening to Since Time Is Gravity correctly??
I wasn’t exactly bursting with energy was I? 😂 I still have five National albums. I get closer and closer to purging one more. As for Since Time Is Gravity… I take the record out of the sleeve and plug it into my iPhone, right?
Hey Jon, Very fun intro and response all around. Happy to see you with those Paulinas. Doesn't strike me as surprising you'd have her in the collection...Now Robert Goulet or someone may raise eyebrows... Wait...ARE you a fan?! Lovely art on the Wilco. Thanks as always for sharing. Looking forward to your further responses. -Carm
Hey Carm! 😂 No Robert Goulet. That, indeed, would be shocking. At least I hope people would find that shocking. Thanks so much for watching. Great to hear from you, and I hope you’re staying warm! ✌🏻
Ohhh a new Dirty Three album would be amazing! I've been a massive fan since I saw them support Pavement in 94 in Brisbane. Also the music on the Wilco album is easily a 9 and their best since Sky Blue Sky.
As with most Wilco releases since Sky Blue Sky, I think the opinions are divided. I do love how defensive people get when I use a number like 7.5. Lol That's still a well above average score! Cheers!
When I first heard about Stunty's alternative vinyl tag, I assumed that it was just for those who didn't think Rob Walker's vinyl tag was sufficiently pretentious. Thankfully DG kept it real. I'll have to check out those Catherine Wheel reissues. Looking forward to the Americana tag. I think Mazzy has trademarked the phrase "loves you" in the VC so expect to hear from his lawyers soon.
Yeah, when I said that it was kind of mocking Mazzy. He’s in my tag out. So I’m already paying him residuals. I don’t think Stunty’s tag was meant to be exclusive. That said, the questions were kind of generic. Several of Rob Walker’s questions made my eyes roll, so I just couldn’t. I’m always happy when people feel I’m keeping it real. Thanks for hanging out! Cheers! ✌🏻
I marvel at your editing skills and your answers. Well done, good sir. Always appreciate your recommendations for some cool Americana / bluegrass. Another has been added to my list. Cheers.
Very entertaining video, I dont like long albums nowadays even if all music is ok. When cd popularity was in its peak I didnt even think the whole issue but now even over 40 min vinyl is too much for me. And I dont like when somebody is saying the ONLY bad thing about record is that its too short because you can always spin it again. Cheers.
I’ve probably been guilty of saying that an album was too short. But it wasn’t meant as an insult. I usually say that about an album leaving me wanting more. Thanks for hanging out! Cheers! ✌🏻
Good one Jon. That Steel Guitar Jazz albums sounds fascinating! I might have to get that. I thought all of David Grier's work was on CD only. I'll probably put that one in my want list. That Wilco cover was beautiful for sure. Always great to see albums from your collection. Take care my friend.
I guess I need to check out Pedernal now. I wasn't familiar with that. I hope the music reflects the cover art, colorful, but slightly harsh and blotchy. Lots of VCLJ this past year. 🙂 I still need a lot of REM on vinyl. Very cool that Logan sent you Out Of Time. That Wilco cover is awesome. I wouldn't have known about Highdelberg or the seller you referred to if it weren't for you. So thank you very much for that! Did you end up keeping that Jane record that you got from him? Are you doing the Prog vinyl tag after the Americana tag?
How did I miss this comment? Yes. Check out Pedernal. Very cool album imo. It looks like it’s not easy to find on vinyl. I got lucky on Discogs. I still have the Jane album and I still need to spin it! I’m so behind! Americana Tag and Soul Tag forthcoming.
Go Away Polar Vortex 🥶 ! ( Polar Vortex is a good band name I think 🤔 ) Between Ferment & Happy Days is Chrome which is my favorite Catherine Wheel 🛞 album. Sounds great in the car late at night .. Agree that the Wilco cover is impressive & outshines the contents within. Saw The National live in 2023 & they accentuated catalog over the somewhat lackluster new albums. Still enjoying the National Championship 🏆 of Michigan & looking forward to pitchers & catchers reporting soon ⚾️ 🧢 !
Polar Vortex is a great band name. Chrome is great. I thought I mentioned that I picked it up too this year, but must have cut it out. I didn’t own Chrome in high school so that’s why I showed Ferment. There are some other decent songs on those two National albums, but by the whole - not their best material imo. Pitchers and catchers will be here before we know it! Go Lions!
Saw Dirty Three open for Beck at Grady Cole Center. Insane pit during Beck when he pulled out an acoustic. Weirdest thing I have seen at a show. Ambulances plural had to show up for the carnage lol
Your videos are the longest, bestest, not so new😮, you never surprise me, surely it was a record I showed 🤔🤭, I’m sorry to be heckling you, (really?..no) I watch hoping the kids would show up 😁☺️..... no tag you are it ....really again .... ok well I’m getting the popcorn ready....and I’ll be clearing my throat...memememe ....hi ya Jon, we love you too!!! 😎🎶🙏🏻✨☮️
Kids might be showing up in video soon. Hope you’re surviving this winter, Lis! Not as bad down here in the south. Send us some warm vibes, though. Maybe a Beach Boys performance? 😄 🌴 🌞
@@TheDigitalGramophone hehehe I’m sorry to heckle you, I don’t know why I do it .... I guess because you are like family to me....cold, snowy, windy, below 0 temps, my internet was out 5 days...ugh! I do not understand what it is about winter people enjoy??? I liked your tag, I won’t heckle you on the next one...hugs to the family....stay awesome my friend..peace☮️✊🏻✨
@@L.E.55472 Please heckle away, Lis! I’m always heckling other folks. The winter sounds brutal in the Midwest and Northeast this year. We had one day of highs in the 20s (yesterday) and then next week it will be creeping close to 70! Glad your internet is back so you can watch lame vinyl collectors on TH-cam! 😂

Thanks, Todd. I'm really looking forward to the new Dirty Three album. Sorry for late response!
im getting to the point where a 2xLP is a clear red flag: i do think it often means self editing was needed, your example was spot on.
I’m the same way for the most part. Although there were a couple of 2xLP jazz albums that I thoroughly enjoyed this year. It could be because we listen to so much music?
The opening is everything.

Speaking of Mary Halvorson I think she just put out a new LP.
Yeah. Bill preordered it.

That is insanely weird. 🤣
good video
There you are!
Am I a VC hipster because I never have done a Vinyl Tag?
I think "fuddy duddy" is the more operable word. :) Lol Hope all is well, Kris!
Do we all have the same shelves?
Yes.

Alt. So you mean Americana
That’s coming. And it will somehow be less generic. 🤠
