Each pulled forward LP is a rock double, meaning my husband owns a copy of it too. We will have a LOT of mind melting rarities to sell a week from today, considering this is just the first few letters of the alphabet. Wish us luck, this is gonna be a lot of work!

Dear RVA record collectors. My husband and I are starting to sell off our doubles after nearly 20 years together. This will be your chance to buy all sorts of gems (some very rare) at fair prices.

There will never be anyone more passionate and knowledgeable about global grooves as Bill Lupoletti. He helped to put WRIR on the international music map and he has been integral to so many of us falling in love with songs from all over the world.
We are gonna miss you Bill.

My brain is still woking on the David Byrne performance. It was so visually pleasing and thoughtful. Every moment was impactful and filled with intention.

Radar had been a great coach as we (Outer World) prep to play live as a two piece for the first time. Purring in place of applause is something I could get used to.

We watched the Failure doc last night. I only had this promo copy of the LP, so I never knew Albini had produced it. Knowing this key detail now, the restrained power of this debut makes so much more sense. It really could not have been anybody but Albini at the helm.

@joedummy.bsky.social Have you heard this? VA - Lost Coast: Some Visionary Music from California 1980 - 1992? It is fantastic and I think you would love it as it straddles new age and something dramatically dreamy.

I am glad this LP of rarities was compiled, and I hope we get 10 more like this one because there is so much SJ home recording goodness out there just waiting to be shared.
Sam Jayne Forever. Miss and love you friend.
