This past weekend I made my first trek to a record shop. Now, this wasn't a music shop, this was a genuine, musty-cardboard smelling antique shop located in an air-conditioned warehouse. The purchases from Amazon were all one-sided. They contained experiences, yes, but they were all from a listening stand-point. Actually going and looking for vinyl IS getting your cherry popped because its the whole she-bang. A dingy, cool but still muggy old basement is probably a part of first-time ... Read More

When was the last time you actually spent quality time with your favorite album? And I mean quality time, not just having it playing in the background while you read, clean, have sex, or balance the check book. One hundred percent quality, sit-your-***-down and focus on the music. Melt into whatever it is you're sitting or laying on. Let the music absorb into you like smoke coming off fire, each piece of the music with its own flame, burning red, yellow, blue, and green. Feel it transform ... Read More

Music has been an obsession with me since high-school and it has grown to become a big black hole in my wallet, not that I care.

Walking down the brick, pedestrian streets of downtown Charlottesville there is an obvious sense of arrogance in the fixtures and displays of the stores and restaurants that attracts a certain type of consumer. Coincidentally, this atmosphere attracts music that I am largely interested in, which raises questions about my own arrogance regarding music, but that's another matter at hand. The type of music that's not commercial enough to be ... Read More

I'll probably make a thread to get more suggestions but lately I've been wanting to get into funk and some reggae (mainly Bob Marley), so I'm looking for suggestions.

Funk/Soul I've been looking at James Brown (I have Live at the Apollo, so I'm looking at some studio albums), Parliament, Sly Stone, Funkadelic, etc.

I'm not sure where to start with Marley. I see Legend mentioned a lot, but I prefer studio albums over compilations.

Any suggestions, gentlemen? ... Read More
