I iwsh i had friends like you!!

Scalping The Guru is soooo much fun.

Curve are extremely underrated, one of my favorite shoegaze bands. Saw them live a handful of times back in the early nineties. Garbage owes a huge debt to them for their whole vibe.

Curve's Hell Above Water. Wow! Thanks!

Hello Hanna. Those are some nice jazz albums. I'll have to check out Curve. My recent vinyl finds. Triffids - Raining Pleasure Mel Brown- Chicken Fat Low- Double Negative The British psychedelic Trip Vol. 4 - v/a Attack of the Killer B's - vol. 1

Greetings Hanna. Now I know why I can't acquire The Blurred Crusade on vinyl. You have them all! I am more than content with my cd though. I would love to get my hands on that Sisters of Mercy box, and will keep an eye out for it. Floodland my favorite. I assume that Sonic Youth has additional tracks, being a 2 lp set. Also one of my top tier albums from them. Congratulations on that Curve album! Looking forward to sampling some Bush Tetras and Dance Society. 10,000 subscribers! Until next time, take care.

Those two Curve albums, wow. I was lucky enough to find the Horrorhead 12'' a few weeks ago.

Sometimes I forget just how awesome the Pixies we're in their heyday

I was pleasantly surprised to find New Toy in my local second-hand record shop the last time I went in. Glad to see Lene Lovic getting some love.

I love Jazz! Jazz is a rabbit hole but a fun rabbit hole 🐰🐇

As much as I like Garbage , I always recommend Curve to those who like the early records of Shirley & her gang. I was a big fan of Danse Society really liked Come Inside & Wake Up from that debut & the Stones cover. Nice underrated Sonic Youth album. My favorite phone messages are the ones Mike Watt left for Thurston on Daydream Nation from Providence Rhode Island .. which has a video ! What a fascinating new song from PIL .. makes me want to go to Hawaii ⛱️ ✌️

I actually caught the Bush Tetras in 1998 opening for Moe Tucker at Knitting Factory. That was a wacky lineup!

Hi Hannah - I always enjoy your choices and you never fail to suggest some new listening for me. I love the fact that you are not solely rooted in 70's rock. I love that Sonic Youth album too. I love jazz as well! Grant Green swings!

Hello 👱‍♀Hanna; Congratulations on reaching the 10,000 subscribers plateau. They say the first 10,000 are the hardest & from there on its easy subbing. We see a cable access channel in the works. Working title : The Weekend Vinyl Wrap-Up. Discussing all the vinyl that's worth collecting. Like the books shown they look like very informative reads, enjoy. A good variety of new vinyl titles shown, along with the Pink grail. Once again congrat's, take care 👩‍❤‍👨Tina & Pat!~

I had no idea Some Girls Wander had been pressed to vinyl, thank you for sharing I now own it as well!

I'm here for the jazz

I`m going with Dirty as my favourite Sonic Youth album too. Was one of the first to use the extra time available on a CD productively. No filler. Ever heard their 1988 Peel session of Fall covers? Three good versions of Fall classics. Bizarrely, the fourth track is a cover of the Fall`s cover of Victoria by the Kinks. The same year both bands contributed a track to the NME`s Sergeant Pepper tribute. Sonic Youth did Within You Without You, The Fall did A Day In The Life. BTW, a new Thus Love song just popped up on my YT recommendations - "Put On Dog".

First To Say Good Morning 🌞 To Hanna 🙋‍♂️

Congratulations on 10,000! You deserve a 100,000, I have watched your channel for over four years now 🎸✌️

I didn’t get into jazz until I was about 40. A neighbor who was a jazz player began sharing CDs with me and got me hooked onto Davis and it grew from there. Before the flood I had that 80s book, fun read. Great to see a Chills album in the back. I have found a few OGs from them, a favorite band.

I bought the "Too Many Creeps" single by Bush Tetras when it was first released. It was constantly on my turntable. I was friends with Ed Bahlman of 99 records, their record label, he had a nice roster of artists on his label. Another big favorite of mine on 99 were ESG, highly recommended. I got into Curve when they first came out, thought they were unique and brilliant, don't think it was called shoegaze at the time, yet. "Moanin'" is one of my favorite jazz albums, definitely top 5 in that genre for me. Stay well, my wonderful friend. Hope this is great year for you.

Hanna, Congratulations on the 10,000 Subscribers. That's Awesome! We all appreciate your videos. Love the Lene Lovich EP behind you, and PIL. Nice to see you getting into GBV. Saw them live at the Whiskey A Go Go in LA. 3 hours plus show. Pollard and band drank and smoke the whole time, and not once had to stop for the restroom lol. Troopers. Love Grant Green. Thanks for continuing to show CD's for us CD lovers. Thanks for sharing this video. Stay safe.

congratulations hanna, you deserve 10k & much much more, love these warmhearted videos & your music obsession & the similarities & differences with what i've been into & continue to discover thanks to generous & kind reviewers like you & what you share! the blurred crusade is certainly one of the greatest grails ever, will never forget the spring/summer getting into it along with seance & remote luxury after playing heyday & starfish in heavy rotation, one eye opening discovery after another, crusade has so many of my top church songs like a fire burns, almost with you & just for you, brilliant classic! always liked curve & used to spin doppleganger a lot, will have to check out more from them, otw to overwhelming colorfast since they seem so familiar but can't remember what they sound like at all, & will finally give thus love a shot! have to shout out for the three o'clock & the night i saw them open for r.e.m., thank you for reminding me of that magic moment forever captured in a hazy snow globe of jangling crystals & steam train sound effects! can't wait to see what you find next -> "and god forgive the passengers if we should fail to find a penny fountain or a half-off sale, i need a merchant, i've just started searching for a holy grail" - fountains of wayne, the valley of malls p.s. speaking of holy hand grenades, just found chris collingwood from fow covering the dream academy's life in a northern town on the comp here comes the reign again: the second british invasion & it's quite a bit of heaven kzfaq.info/sun/OLAK5uy_mbYXPioovyjEK8l0JIY-ZPQhiX6t7lZys

P.P.S. Congratulations on 10K!!! Great Job. "This is what you want"... Is probably my favorite P.I.L. Johnny signed my copy while he was doing his first book signing at Borders books on L. Street in D.C.

great video my friend and way to go on get 10,000 subs

You got some great gifts over the holidays . I am looking forward to investigating the Sonic Youth , Art Blakey , and Grant Green albums . Many thanks for your recommendations ! Cheers .

OMG I am so happy for you that you got Cuckoo. I have the original cd and play it constantly, probably a top 25 all time record for me. The Sisters of Mercy is another great pick-up. I just got a European copy of Vision Thing recently. I have been on the fence at picking up Dirty so may have to take the plunge, have everything up to Goo. I never real cared much for jazz until I started to listen to it on vinyl and now I am hooked. Analog is the perfect medium for it.

Those books are way cool, especially the Capitol Records one.

Congratulations! So deserved!

I like how you put that you gifted it to yourself..LoL I'm going to use that on my wife no honey I didn't buy it for myself I gifted it 😄🎸

Amazing finds Hanna.When u showed the Encyclopedia of New Wave my jaw literally dropped,It’s such an amazing book and love it to bits.It’s what got me into more bands The Fleshtones,Gene Loves Gezebel and Hoodoo Gurus to name but a few.After all these years I’m still new to Jazz but i do have albums like Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue but over the years I’ve branched out and got Jazz records here and there mostly Smooth Jazz which I’m a sucker for,Jazz Fusion and last year Free Jazz with Ornette Coleman which is where I wanted really wanted to start and from now on I’m open to getting anything.Come on Pilgrim is definitely something I need to add to the collection,I saw Pixies back in 2010 or 11 when they played Doolittle in its entirety with Kim Deal on bass and they put on a fantastic show and the best part was when they threw in other classics like Bone Machine and Dig For Fire for good measure..congrats on 10K ✌️😎🎶

Curve rules! Thanks Hanna for the vid👍🏻

Hi Hannah, 10k subs - well done. Sonic Youth's Dirty is a great album and I also recommend Murray Street from 2002 from their later records. I have that Curve EP you showed and also Doppelganger, both sound awesome on vinyl. The Jazz genre is really hard to know what to go for - try some Sun Ra, his records take you to another planet. Culture Club in a new wave book - that made me laugh. Cheers, Paul

Congrats on the 10 grand! Still love both PIL LPs. "Album", I still remember, buying on its release. My 2 best, cheap finds so far: Boo Radleys Ichabod & I and Octopus - From A to B.

Incredibly jealous of the Curve Doppelgänger album on your wall! I need that album. So good!

Congratulations on so many viewers! Not surprising as your love of music is infectious. So many great buys. Excellent start to the year. You may know this already, but as disappointing as PIL's This is What you Want, it has an interesting back story. Keith Levine is not on the album but was there for the writing and is credited on the album. It was in fact re-recorded after he left. And before Lydon could get the album released Keith Levine self-released his version as a limited edition called Commercial Zone. He re-released it in 2014 so it might be available to find. It doesn't make the quality drop-off from Metal Box & Flowers of Romance any easier, but the chaos maybe explains what happened. Thanks again for sharing, great video.

Another great video. I saw Mill City announce that new Backgroove release and I had a feeling you would be wanting that! Rock on Hanna

As always you show a lot of records that i own and love mostly for many years. I own +/- 800 jazz album mostly from the bebop and hard bop era. I don't follow the most recent Guided by Voices releases but own all their older albums. Also love the Pixies. I don't watch your video's to see only albums that i already know. There are also bands that you show that slipped passed me. These are valuable tips.

Grant Green! He is the man! Such a soulful, funky guitarist. I absolutely love Idle Moments. Art Blakey is great too, especially Lee Morgan. Just got done listening to Coltrane, Blue Train. Lee Morgan on trumpet. Delish!

Happy new year, Hannah! In this video; Salvation Army, Trotsky Icepick and Velvet Crush are the highlights for me. Looking forward to your upcoming videos in 2023! 🙂

Great copy of Cuckoo, looks great! Sounds amazing on vinyl, will have to listen to it now that you have put it in my head. They need to release Come Clean on vinyl already. Cheers!

Hi Hanna! I remember The Bush Tetras - used to have their 1st LP (and early 45s) in my first LP collection. Those original pressings must be worth $$$ by now! Remember loving them although I never heard their later material. ...I have the earlier Guided By Voices CDs in my collection - as well as that Overwhelming Colorfast CD - all great! ...I wasn't familiar with any of those other alternative groups you mentioned later on in your video though - it's been years since I was last in a bonifide record store!

great finds to start the year off.

Congrats on the 10K subs and great finds! Thanks as always for sharing. BTW I just saw a new video from Thus Love an hour ago for the song "Put on Dog". At least it's new to me. Great song!

Hey Hanna! Glad you finally had some time to spin Overwhelming Colorfast and you dig it. If you pick up the RST vinyl re-issue, please let us know how it sounds. Be good...

I dig to the point of obsession the Kim Deal-Era Pixies. (Also Kim Deal and her bands are WAY quirky-cool.) And Lena Lovich! She's sick of the Hooooover...! LOL The Pixies, Kim Deal, and LL are all examples of unique, offbeat musical minds. You have to love them.

Thanks for the Bush Tetras compilation tip🌟In return a tip for a great book on the Flying Nun label and Dunedin music scene, called “Needles and plastic”. Cheers

Good to see you back! I'm on a huge Jazz kick at the moment because Ken Burns' History of Jazz series is running on PBSAmericaUK here currently. It's a brilliant watch. I've been a big fan of Jazz since I was in my early teens...love just about every style and have built up a decent collection over the years. Got some great stuff for Christmas...the Bogshed cd box of reissues,Slaughter & The Dogs 'Do It Dog Style' 3-cd reissue,a Rory Gallagher live on the BBC concert on green vinyl from the early '70's which I can actually remember listening to on my trusty transistor radio when it was originally broadcast when I was but 16 years old. I have the 'Seduction' mini lp and the '2000 Light Years From Home' 12'' by Danse Society...and a few Curve EPs on 12'' and CD. Music is the best!!!

That Moanin' album is terrific. It was a big seller because of the irresistible title song written by the pianist Bobby Timmons. Art Blakey is my favorite jazz drummer. He was a GREAT sideman on many Thelonious Monk albums. Monk is one of my 3 all time favorite musicians. I LOVE hard bop and can you guess why? LOL I know you can. Right! It's the closest to punk!!

Hey Hanna. Cool Bush Tetras box set - on my list for sure. I found their RIOR cassette Wild Things about 10 years ago in a thrift store and was amazed how good they are. that bass player was fantastic! Dirty is great, my second fave SY album after Sister-my fave song is Drunken Butterfly! That Narrow Adventure band has the two sisters from the 80's jangle band Wednesday Week. Congrats on Come on Pilgrim and Cuckoo, both are excellent!

Wonderful! Now let´s break 54 000 subs by Feb 12th! You can do it! Cheers!

Hey Hanna, nice stuff as usual... love Bush Tetras... Thurston More introduced them to me. I have a few collections... but that box looks tempting. Guided By Voices is a top 5 or so band for me, and yes i've kept up with almost everything Pollard does, which is kinda crazy i know. If you want an excursion related to Guided By Voices, that's not as daunting... look into Tobin Sprouts albums (starting with the early ones). To me Sprout is a HUGELY underrated songwriter and contributes a lot of the magic on those early/classic GBV's albums. He songs are very melodic, i think you would dig them because you dig power pop so much. And omg Overwhelming Colorfast, a blast from the past, I saw them twice in college, great unsung band. And congrats on the channel Hanna, well deserved!

I love your channel and I'm in awe of your collection! I'm about a year into seriously collecting and you have SO MANY titles I need. Keep up the good work!

Gratz on the 10K!! Anyone who is a music lover needs to dabble into the Jazz sandbox, there's something for everyone, you just need to find your "groove". Give Kenny Burrell a listen ;)

Kudos to your mom for getting you Sonic Youth and Guided by Voices. Dirty is probably my favorite Sonic Youth album (along with Goo and Day Dream Nation) and I really want it on vinyl. I need more Guided by Voices in my collection. I own Alien Lanes. I was going to pick up the RSD repress of that Before 3 O clock and I did get that Overwelming Colorfast on vinyl. I’ve never seen that Pixies album, always thought it was mythical. IMO you have the coolest record collection in the VC! I went to the first Ann Arbor record show of the 2023 this past Sunday - super packed! Congratulations for reaching 10k subs!

I got the Overwhelming Colorfast album many years ago "It's Tomorrow" was my favourite track. There's been postal strikes in the UK which might have contributed to the slow delivery of your Curve album.

Congrats on the 10K. Good to see Submarine Bells on the wall.

I've never been one to think vinyl sounds better than CDs, to me, they're vastly inferior. And I grew up with vinyl. But I suppose that analog appeals in the face of a everything going digital. That being said, always impressed with your musical taste. I picked up all the reissues of Curve on CD, great shoegazer band. Bush Tetras is another great buy. They're all great bands....and I agree, Guided By Voices catalogue is constantly expanding to the point where it's impossible to have everything.

Great as usual! Don't let ANYONE douse your jazz flame! Feed It! Lena L will lead you to Nina H. (start with UNBEHAGEN). Love Curve. I picked up a record from Holy Band of Joy last week. Think you would dig them. Also grabbed J.H. "Hey Babe" on purple vinyl. Love your stuff!!! P.S. I've had all the Sisters original pressings since I was a kid. Look for Sisterhood "The Gift"

Nice! I got that same PIL "Album" on yer wall!👍 I'd say 'Bag' is my favorite track.😎

Wow - so many Great Ones you have to show! Bush Tetras are awesome - Too Many Creeps's a classic, and on my Top 100 Songs Of 1980 - as "Lucrelia My Reflection (SOM) is on my 1987 List - and of course The Curve - on my Lists 1991 - 1992 & 1993 - The EP "Frozen" 1991 is on my "Wanted-List" - The Blurred Crusade; "Goes-Without-Saying" :) - and as always - I find a "new" Band when I look into your video - Trotsky Icepick has passed me by, and that's a shame - Wonderful Band - I listened through their discog and their Poison Summer from 1986 is Fantastic - "Nightingale Drive" went straight into my Top 100 1986 :) and "Overwhelming Colorfast"! yes a van "hear" Husker Du in their sound - "Song In D" - into my Top 100 - 1992 btw - I got Yardact for x-mas Great LP - and I've got a nice kick out of the start of a new Music-Year - 2023 - Kickboy, Juniper & Velvet Negroni is some of the great discoveries so far - PS - I really wish for a new "The Corner Laughers" though been quiet sice 2020 - "Changeling" is on high rotation to present days! - Keep Up The Good Work

Congrats on 10,000 subs. I only own Sisters of Mercy stuff on CD. Curve as well, only on CD. I never see them on vinyl. I was able to hit a huge record store in Pittsburgh last week, Attic Records. I was coming home from my Mom's and had the dog in the car, so could only pick for a short sec. It was overwhelming the amount of stuff. I couldn't even remember my "look for this band" list. Found some good metal and punk stuff.

Hi Hanna. I have Curve's Frozen Ep on vinyl. Check out Coast is Clear. So ahead of their time.

That's so funny that you show Green Street, as 10 minutes before watching your video I was listening to it hahaha. Nigeria by Grant Green is also fantastic! (Grant Green goes off on "It Ain't Necessarily So") Art Blakey seems like a lot of people's intro to jazz. When I first heard Moanin' in a jazz history class in college I was hooked. Great video as always and Happy New Year!

Cool Bush Tetras box set! I have some of their stuff on comps I think. Ohh that Sisters looks awesome too. I tend to buy Jazz records one or two times a year. That Church record I would grab too. I have that PIL album but I dont play it much. Congrats on the Pixies record! Great update

Fantastic array of killer grabs to start off the new year! Bush Tetras?! …Oh, yeah!!! Sorry I’ve been M.I.A. for the last few videos. I’m glad to be back, though. I have some catching up to do, but it’ll be like binge watching a show worth binge watching. p.s. There’s a Japanese post-punk band I think you’ll appreciate, if not fall in love with (possibly)called The Rabbits. Their hard to find material was issued on vinyl for the first time late last year.

Thanks Hannah for sharing. I also picked up a copy of Blurred Crusade in the wild a few weeks ago. An OG version in near mint condition. Couldn’t believe my luck. Steve Kilby has just released an acoustic version of Skins and Heart which is the first of a series of acoustic versions of Church albums he is planning to release. It’s very good but I do miss Mart Wilson Pipers guitar. Great to see the Chills on your wall. Such an influential NZ band. Touring Oz this year. Must see them. Looking forward to another year of your vids.

Wow 10K subs. Seems like yesterday when you first joined us. Congratulations Hanna. Well deserved 👍 I’ll finish up your video after work. Take care

Although punk and shoegaze are not in my wheelhouse I enjoy hearing of those bands and artists. And as usual enjoyed your presentation. :)

I remember hearing 'Somewhere' by Danse Society on college radio when I was a teenager and then calling the station and requesting it everyday so I could record it. I've never actually seen or heard the rest of that album! All good stuff today, especially GBV, Pixies and Lovich (did you know that 'New Toy' was written by Thomas Dolby? - of course you do). I agree with you about that PIL album being a bit of a dud (but I find Flowers Of Romance impenetrable - I love Metal Box and Album). How cool of Thus Love to give you props! I certainly would never have found them without you. Congrats on 10k. Be good!

You always show stuff that I have such as Lene Lovich, PIL, and Curve, things that I had not heard in years (I had no idea Bush Tetras put out a box set). By the way, I have "album" and "CD" by PIL but stopped short of getting "cassette" but wish I bought it. Then you bring out stuff that I didn't think you could find anymore ("the Order of Death"). As for Sonic Youth, don't sleep on Washing Machine, either. I also finally received the Velveteen CD that you recommended and wow are they paying homage to MBV! I can go on but don't want to turn this comment into a thesis, LOL. Always a great and almost too much fun experience with your videos.

I finally availed of the complete Miles Davis 2nd Quartet box set from Columbia: Cannot recomnend it enough. One of the most essential jazz box sets of Miles just before going fusion/rock.

And I have Come on Pilgrim,Pixies' 1992,4ad/Elektra reissue in CD too!!!!!

Too Many Creeps I love for its easy chords! Just palm mute and scratch guitar it all the way. Heehee No pesky solos.😂😂

Lene Lovich is awesome. Stateless is by far her best album.

I was trying to remember the tape or whatever I heard Bush Tetras on. I think it was on a VHS tape. At any rate I have the Too Many Creeps 7" and another one. I don't know about that box but more of their stuff would be nice. Congrats on 10K! My goal is one more sub by the end of the month. I don't want to aim too high.

Hello again Sure I like Church, Salvation Army Shall try Grant Green. My first bought album was Truth by Jeff Beck Group Isnt it something with your first love? Group.

That "Now Playing" stand is just what I've been looking for. Great to hear Lene Lovich being mentioned! And I just picked up a copy of Cuckoo on CD. I think I'll see if I can track down that Overwhelming Colorfast album. Thanks for the insights, as always!

You mentioned about the Sisters' covering Gimmie Shelter - on YT there are some live versions of the Sisters doing Comfortably Numb, and though the sound quality isn't wonderful they are still pretty awesome. Might have to hunt around for the best sounding version, but its worth it.

Hey Hanna! Congrats on 10K subs! I spotted that PiL LP on the wall behind you. I need to get that back again on vinyl. I love that record. What a really cool Bush Tetras box set! And Sisters of Mercy too. Dang! I once found a Sisters of Mercy LP in Goodwill about 20 + years ago. Sonic Youth "Dirty" is my favorite of theirs. GBV is so prolific, aren't they? Pollard is also a collage artist. Love his collage work. That New Wave book I must check out. Looks really interesting. I've never seen that Capitol Records book either. It's huge! I'm glad you cover jazz. It's such a great, expressive and dynamic genre. Art Blakey is my fav jazz drummer. I found several of his LPs at thrifts over 2 decades ago. Now it is nearly impossible to find good jazz at any thrift. I still have those LPs too. Grant Green is excellent. Glad you got that Salvation Army "Befour Three O'Clock." I found it at the Mobile Record Store, not at Goodwill, but if I had found it at Goodwill, what a score that would have been, eh? Really stellar find of The Church. PiL "This is What You Want" I don't think I've ever seen on vinyl. What a great pickup. The Pixies - can't go wrong with anything they've released. I am needing to get some "Trompe Le Monde" on vinyl one day. You scored on the Thus Love! Killer tunes! Overwhelming Colorfast is really catchy. I agree, it's worthy of a recommendation. Happy to see Curve finally in hand!

Hi, Hanna. Congrats on the 10k. This means you are officially the the Queen of Indie & can have malefactors beheaded if you so desire. I didn't realize Cuckoo is so hard to find. Curve were probably the loudest group I've seen, spooked into being Godzilla loud by MBV most likely. This was during the Loudest War of the early 90s. The support act, whoever they were, had what looked like 10 people on stage, massed guitars, sax, samples, the kitchen sink. Curve, in dry ice so thick they couldn't be seen, bulldozed them utterly. Luckily I had one of those thick snotty head colds which cushioned my ears from the onslaught. I saw a little goth girl curled up under a chair with her fingers in her ears. Between each song Toni squeaked out a tiny, 'Thank you.' Goth wise, have you seen anything by Play Dead out in the wild? I played Dirty to death at the time. 'Drunken Butterfly' is my fave. Was thinking about this yesterday: Is Sonic Youth largely forgotten now? It seems that way to me. They're rarely mentioned anywhere. Mystic Nige predicts ... in five year's time this will be the Omaha Jazz Purist channel. The more variety the better, sez I. 2nd in the comment section. Woo hoo!

10 k !! 🎉 I think i subbed in early in ‘19. I love that now playing stand. ✌️💙

I have everything Robert Pollard on vinyl which is A LOT! If you haven’t checked out his band Boston Spaceships, you may really like it. Its more jangly and pop oriented.

Hi, Hanna. Track down a copy of PIL's 'Commercial Zone' .. a semi-legal Keith Levene version of the album. Well worth it.

I'm really enjoying your inclusion of more jazz. I'm sure I flipped past Idle Moments the other day at my local record store, I'll have to go pick it up now. I've never been a big fan of jazz guitar, but I randomly picked up a copy of Boogaloo Joe Jones' No Way, and it's incredible (a bit more on the funk/soul jazz side, or acid jazz as he calls it), so I'm keen to give Grant Green a listen. Moanin' is incredible. I just picked up Miles Davis' Nefertiti and I was absolutely floored, jazz has definitely got my attention over this last year.

Coincidentally, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers was the first jazz album I bought after dipping my toes in the waters with the 1989 Blue Note 50th Anniversary CD box set. I thought I should listen to Jazz and I knew that Blue Note was a safe bet, and this box was a really great place to get a survey of the label. The 2nd CD has "Blue Train" from John Coltrane and "Mosaic" from the album of the same name from Art Blakey. So quite the place to start, IMO. If you haven't heard Mosaic yet, I heartily recommend it. 100% my favorite Blakey (I have three copies in my collection-- an OP stereo, a 1970's copy that is trashed, but is an RVG and a 1990's reissue). I think that they may have reissued this recently. For a long time you couldn't find it easily. I pulled the trigger on a grail at the beginning of the month. I've been a fan of the 1990's Boston band Tribe who were briefly on WB/Slash. Their debut full length Abort was produced by Gil Norton, who produced a lot of 4AD acts (Pixies, Lush, Pale Saints). The album was only available on vinyl as an import and I found a seller in the UK who had a really clean copy of it for Best Offer and they took my offer. Unfortunately, it is stuck in the UK at the post office due to a recent "Cyber Incident" that is affecting all Royal Mail shipments overseas. I have no idea when it will ship. Of note, Royal Mail is asking people to not ship from the UK internationally, so something to consider if you're looking at UK exported records.

Really great video Hanna, as always. Great advice on Sonic Youth and that looks like a very interesting Guided By Voices album. I absolutely love their tune "Everywhere With Helicopter". Can listen to that song over and over. Great description of the PIL record. I'm always partial to their debut. The song "Religion" is awesome, just great. Some great pickups.

Doppleganger and Cuckoo are probably the best Curve albums, I agree, but don't miss out on their later material. They never made a bad album. I especially like "Gift" and "Open Day at Hate Fest".

Hi Hanna,good afternoon,I have Sonic Youth's two CDs,Bad Moon Rising,US reissue Geffen press 1993,and NYC ghosts and flowers,2000's brazilian press,and I have too Sisters of Mercy second compilation A Slight Case of Overbombing,1993,CD german press,and I really love your video,and I really like too,cheers,have a nice weekend!!!!!!

I used to have Curve's first 2 albums "Doppelganger" & "Cuckoo" on CD...US versions on Charisma/Virgin, and yep, way ahead of their time...I know there was a 3rd album, forgot the title offhand, knew it was on Republic/Universal...and in the 80s, Toni Halliday was a solo artist, released a solo album on WTG/Epic, seek it out...they were the right band at the wrong time, about to break out & boom, Garbage came along and stole their thunder...another similar band I just LOVE is Lush!! And I never had that Overwhelming Colorfast, but def knew about it & may seek it out...Velvet Crush, love that record, they are/were(??) drummer Ric Menck's band...he played with Matthew Sweet...may have to seek out the reissue, thanks Hannah, hope u r well...oh I forgot, are you familiar with UK bands Skunk Anansie & Silverfish (and lead singer Ruby's more electronic/industrial solo stuff)...I think you may dig...lead singer of Skunk, her name is (just) Skin...amazing singer, and a fierce presence, black, bald, lesbian & their music mixes alt-rock/punk, soul, dance, reggae, electronic, tribal...totally unique & compelling & they were the "band of the future" in the movie "Strange Days"...I hope that intrigues you...and I'm reading Skin's memoir, compelling read...

You can never have too much of The Church.

Congrats on 10k followers! You deserve that and many more. It's so great to see women vinyl collectors on KZfaq. I just adore Curve and Doppelgänger is one of the best shoegaze records of all time. I'm curious, who's your third favourite shoegaze band - Curve, My Bloody Valentine and ??? Love from Australia!

Hello! I'm glad you got to 10K subs, it's always nice to see a fellow Nebraska music enthusiast on the tube. So far this year I have got a new stereo to replace my old Pioneer. I have to find a place to send that off to get it repaired, but I'm not sure who does that. I also got a reissue of The Walkmen You and Me, one of my very favorite albums and I can't recommend it enough. Anyhow, is it snowing in Omaha? Here in Kearney it's coming down as fast as you can shovel it, so we closed up the shop early and went home. Have fun, stay warm out there!

Knowing your taste in music (I'm a huge GBV/Pollard fan- my favorite band of all time is GBV)- I'd say some great starting places for newer Guided by Voices are: Mirrored Aztec, Tremblers and Goggles by Rank, and It's Not Them It Couldn't Be Them It Is Them!. Also, their newest one releasing this Friday, La La Land, has some prog rock/psych pop brilliance, so that's also one I'd check out if you can! :)

Another great video - keep them coming. For Christmas this year I got the new Weyes Blood record, an original Fisherman's Blues, a 70s reissue of Astral Weeks and a UK original mono Safe As Milk. I have Some Girls Wander on CD but I have all the SoM original singles and EPs on vinyl up to Lucretia. That said I think they peaked before their first LP came out which I have a fully signed copy of from an instore in Leeds, UK when it was released. I would recommend Gift by The Sisterhood just in case it passed you by.

Interesting video as always! Like you, when it comes to jazz hard bop is definitely the style that I love the most. Got a bunch of nice albums by Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley etc, but never heard Grant Green, so need to check him out. I haven’t got any Sonic Youth albums, but I saw the live about 15 years ago, they put on a great noisy show!

I think the Some Girls Wander comp. is probably best heard on vinyl anyway, like the old orig. 12" vinyl EPs etc. of the Sisters. I used to own all of them but not any longer, alas. Have Some Girls on the orig. CD box set at least I have a feeling it sounds warmer on vinyl, I dunno. On the other hand those records were made on rather a low budget!

Danse Society - band from my home town. Their first single was packaged in the repro room next to the library at Barnsley Technical College (now Barnsley College, where Arctic Monkeys were formed), where my dad was head librarian. I managed to lose the library cassette copy of "Heaven is Waiting" on the bus home from high school in 1986.

Hey Hannah. Yeah well done to start the year. Most intrigued by those Urinals / 100 Flowers sides. Didn't know about those and love the band. Huge GBV fan so if you've ever need a recommendation let me know. You really don't need any of the recent (thousands) of records. My favorite is Alien Lanes and Bee Thousand (most will tell you those). Certainly on the lo-fi side. If you want something similar to Isolation Drills (more mid fi I guess) I would go with Under The Bushes Under the Stars, Universal Truths and Cycles or Earthquake Glue. take care!

Hola Hanna, Felicidades for 10K. Really your record collection is massive and awesome. The Danse Society is one of my fetish bands of darkwave, and post punk. I saw them when I was a teenager in concert In Valencia. In those years, (middle and late 80,s) Valencia was visited for a great bands like The Sound, The Chameleons, Clan Of Xymox, The Mission, Sister Of Mercy, The Cult, PIL, Sad Lovers Giants, Flesh for Lulu, Propaganda, The Cure, Simple Minds etc. Saludos from Spain
