Weekend was good
I have been gobbling up 'soul jazz' records. That's my sound... pre-funk and grooving. Music for riding scooters, swinging, and ascots.
Top to bottom:
Lighthouse '69 -
Chico Hamilton Quintet - we talked about this in the Discogs thread. There is something about this one. It is the first thing i put on this morning. A quiet way to wake up. The cover is deceptive, makes it look like you are in for a swinging good time when in fact this is a mellow, contemplative record with a damn cello. Check out 'The Sage' (its on spotify). If you like that then this record is for you.
Normon Connors - Dark of Light - Herbie Hancock on the keys. Laughter is a funky track. It's on the fusion side but still good.
Viva Tirado - If you see it, get it. The guy ringing me up said "banger" when he saw it and it made me laugh.
Chico Hamilton Greatest Hits - Hard to believe this is the same guy as the yellow record. His cape phase is his best for soul jazz. For Mods Only, Big Noise From Winnetka, El Moors, and A Trip are all solid, so I figured if I saw this in town I would pick it up. 2 whole records of cape era chico is not a bad deal. The ONLY song it doesn't have that I want is El Conquistadores. Oh well.
Soul Sax - It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's got a half assed drum break in there. This is one of those records that when i checked it out on discogs i though "i want this". and then when i saw it in the shop i grabbed it, then got home and couldn't remember what excited me about it.
Soulful Strings - It was a dollar, and Listen Here is an uptempo soul jazz banger if you ask me. Definitely worth a buck.
Mission Impossible. I probably shouldn't have paid 8 dollars for this but it was super clean. Jim On The Move was used for The Wiseguys 'Ooh-la-la', which is a song i have always liked, and so as the song moves forward you heard the sample getting closer and closer and then it hits, which all sounds corny but the song is cool anyways, that just makes it fun to listen to. Shut up.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk - The Case of the 3 sided dream in audio color - Freaks For the Festival is the reason I picked this up as it was on one of my spotify playlists, but I always assumed it was some rare, expensive record. This was only five bucks, so yay. -

Record divider bonerz
Kate said:dj_cityboy said:dizzybull said:https://koeppeldesign.com/products/horizontal-a-z-record-divider-stencilThis is some classy shit. And way out of my price range.fucking hell i imagine getting those home and getting them all in place and BAM! 2 days later the letter “B” snaps off digging for beastie boys records... i imagine all of those letters snapping off over time, their sexy looking and slick looking but doesn't make much sense to me.
about 5yrs ago i finally bought some dividers, shit was plastic and were $2 each if i recall correctly, but they were the exact same dividers my local record shop uses, never been happier...
but now some of my filing is a bit “off” previously (before dividers) buck65 was filed with sebutones and sixtoo records and method man was filed with wu-tang records and Luke was filed with 2 Live Crew, now my shit is kinda mixed up a bit and still takes some time to remember that i will not find BDP records with KRSone records... anyone else having this issue or another issue i have sometimes is filing by last or first name....
This whole chain has had me giggling today- thanks for that! I'm Kate, the founder of Koeppel Design, and maker of those classy dividers. I usually don't wade into online chats about my products, but I would just like to say, since starting the business in 2013, we have never ever had an issue with dividers breaking or snapping. Not one complaint! Once a client had a brand new puppy that chewed a few letters, but that was a bit different. In addition to being classy, they are strong as hell. They are not for everyone, but who or what is!
Thanks for the laughs today, and a nice bump in sales as well! -Kate
What’s up Kate! This makes me glad that we had nice things to say. I would have felt terrible if the thread were titled “ugliest record dividers ever”
Years ago I bought a bunch of the ugly plastic white dividers. My problem is I don’t know whether to write the letter facing up, or facing side ways. Of course they would be up, but Curtis mayfield has his own divider so that is obviously written sideways. Same with “wu tang” and cal tjader” for some reason. Anyways, names go sideways, so then I put individual letters sideways but then I run into a problem.
The first was H. When H is sideways it is capital “I” (not in this particular font, but you know what I mean). My sideways E looks like M. U or C...
Z or N...?
I also have a section in “S” called “soulstrut”. The Leo sayer is there, and the stark reality (stones throw version of course), the welkshake and breakbeatrare, and then some other releases from members of days past like Asprin, Delay, Karlophone, and others.
