#NowSpinning
De La Soul – Cabin in the Sky (2025)
I’ve been waiting so long for this record, and now it’s finally on the turntable. It’s a worthy comeback and the most essential East Coast rap record of 2025.

#NowSpinning Tame Impala – Currents (2015) Almost a week without records, that wasn’t my plan for Lent. High time to change that with warm synth textures and steady grooves set a smooth tone for a grey Sunday morning.

#NowSpinning The Roots – Phrenology (2002). Jumping on today’s #HipHopSaturday train with an album that needs no introduction by one of my favorite hip-hop groups.

Hip-hop led me to jazz, and this album played a major part in that. Too choice, as always. πŸ˜†

#NowSpinning
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)
Saturday morning, first coffee, first record β€” but what to play? Discogs Random decided, and I’m fine with that.

#NowSpinning
Ton Steine Scherben – Wenn die Nacht am tiefsten … (1975)
Direct, unpolished rock with clear lyrics and a grounded, organic sound. Political urgency and reflection that felt relevant then and still resonates today.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19… hard to judge,
And many more

#NowSpinning Tame Impala – The Slow Rush (2020). A polished, synth-led album built on steady grooves, layered production, and a reflective mood centered on time and how it’s spent.

#NowSpinning
Tangerine Dream – Phaedra (1974)
Calm, slowly evolving synthesizer sounds with a clear and open atmosphere. On my listening list for weeks, now finally spinning. A quiet, influential step in 1970s electronic music.

#NowSpinning The Heliocentrics – A World of Masks (2017). Sticking with jazz, but turning up the pace with a deep, experimental album blending jazz, funk, and psychedelic textures into a rich, immersive sound world.

#NowSpinning Keith Jarrett – Arbour Zena (1976). Continuing the lazy Sunday listening session with a calm, thoughtful album where piano and ensemble space unfold gently, creating a warm, reflective atmosphere.

I loved it as a kid whenever my dad played that exact record. And now I spin it regularly.

I’m not sure what I like more, the record or the mug. Perfect match.

#NowSpinning Astrud Gilberto – The Astrud Gilberto Album (1965). One of the nicest ways to start a Sunday with soft bossa nova grooves, gentle vocals, and a timeless late-night atmosphere. This record is 60+ and plays perfectly.

#NowSpinning Anderson .Paak – Malibu (2016). A warm, sunlit album blending soul, hip-hop, and funk with relaxed grooves and an easy, laid-back flow. Just right for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

#NowSpinning Rekless – Über die Natur der Dinge (2018). Let’s continue #hiphopSaturday with calm, reflective hip-hop album built on clear german lyrics and stripped-down beats. Born and raised in my town.

True, in parts it’s actually aged very well.

My son would probably run away screaming. Not his kind of music. I was his age when the album came out, and I loved it.

Always nice to have something you can rely on in these unsettled times. Otherwise it wouldn’t be Friday. Have a great weekend.
