Music You Should Buy – 2009
Hello December,
Well, it’s been forever. I know. I’m sorry. How’s the family?
Honestly I haven’t had much to blog about on the audio side of things… I’ve been way too busy doing things like getting married… working overtime, painting, sleeping, putting up Christmas decorations, and otherwise being as absolutely boring as possible. It’s been smashing! I’m really ready for a nice 14 day vacation, but alas, there will be no such thing in 2009. Next year, maybe… just maybe, heck maybe we’ll even get a honeymoon. But not any time soon. After all, there “Ain’t no rest for the wicked” as they (Cage the Elephant) say. By the way, that is music you should buy… Plus, they’re our neighbors from the North (Kentucky, that is… not Canada).
What have I been doing lately, audio-wise? Well let’s see…. I’ve transferred tons of tapes for Sun Records & some Bear Family releases. I restored & remastered some very old Oak Ridge Boys material for a 3 disc release through Cracker Barrel. I prepared masters for the new Johnny Cash 3 disc Cracker Barrel exclusive… I’ve completely ignored my blogging responsibilities… I developed a custom database and digital distribution platform for the Sun Records catalog. I’ve started a modest web-hosting company… I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a digital-only record label but then I realize that I would probably want to press vinyl for every release (how’s that for a crazy?) More on that later… possibly.
I’m starting to feel musically constipated… like I need to take a big creative poo. Maybe I’ll let you look at it when I’m done.
Oh yeah, this was supposed to be my 2009 list of Music You Should Buy… Here you go:
- Paramore – brand new eyes
- The Glen Miller Orchestra – Glenn Miller Orchestra (2 CD Set)
- Louis Jordan – At The Swing Cat’s Ball
- JET – Shaka Rock
- Spoon – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
- Matthew Perryman Jones – Swallow The Sea
- Death Cab For Cutie – Narrow Stairs
What’s on your list?
James
