Happy New Year it’s Mazy here 2024 what a year this is going to be boy uh this is the vinyl tag 2024 every year this is the perfect time if you are thinking of making videos within this whole vinyl Community uh kerai organization not even organization you know what I mean showing records

Make sure you hash viny Community 2024 this is the one you answer 20 questions the 20 questions this year like last year and the year before were uh created by Rob Walker from Manchester United Kingdom uh of course there’s a Manchester question here but um I you

Know I’m not one that does New Year’s resolutions but I thought you know I’ve been listening to so much music literally I listen to a lot of music but it once in a while you have to get outside and you know it wouldn’t K you

To get outside once in a while and ride your bike and play with your friends you know we all had mothers like that well maybe some of us did most of us a lot of us did I’ll put it that way so I thought the New Year the beginning of the year I

Would get out so this is the vinyl tag 2024 uh my responses to these 20 questions and I’m going to do it outside on location so the first record is one that I showed that was a top of my new release uh of 2023 and that’s Rufus way W’s FK accuracy

Family friends some traditional folk songs like one original beautiful record songs from Scotland from the United Kingdom from America uh with some wonderful singers throughout beautifully recorded record uh this is number one the answer to number one my favorite record that I purchased in 2023 next question the last record you

Bought well the last record I received New Year’s Eve from Sam records out of France is the heath Brothers 19 76 the heath Brothers great jazz uh performance in Paris 1976 from Sam records that great wonderful uh label he does oneman shop does everything himself question

Number three a band or an artist who released two albums in the same year now we all know back in the day that was a thing common for artists to do two or three albums in a year into the’ 60s 7s a little less but still twice a year uh

Of course now we’re in a different scope there are exceptions here but I’m going with the Jefferson Airplane their hit breakout hits realistick pillow early in 1967 became a Souther uh Summer of Love Anthem obviously with white rra this is the first uh airplane album Grace Slick

Was on the second album of the band RCA records then towards the end of the year they do something more esoteric more out there I think some of the audience who bought and listened to White Rabbit and somebody to love were perplexed by this wonderful album it’s probably considered

The most psychedelic and it’s one of the great albums of the San Francisco scene the fall of love I guess you could call it J airplanes after bathing at backers two heads Mar Martha those two songs are very accessible but there’s a lot of really interesting experimentation on here psychedelia

Stuff uh Jefferson Airplane after bathing at baers so you got jff airplane two records in 1967 which was not an uncommon thing the next question is if you could only pick one decade of music and have music from one decade what would it be well of course for me it

Might be generational the uh for those of you answering this but uh I would say definitely the 1960s I couldn’t go without the The Beatles The Kinks Dylan the birds Rolling Stones Jefferson Airplane the whole San Francisco psychedelia scene that would be it easy answer easy question I could survive question number

Five show a band from Manchester England that’s where Rob Walker is from who created this list of questions well I’m showing one in the greater Manchester area Stockport to be exact and that is the band 10cc this is their debut on polygram Mercury records of the states

They were on London UK records uh before that great record One Night in Paris is on here this wonderful art rock Suite but of course Godly creme uh excuse me Godley and creme Kevin Godley L creme Eric Stewart and Graham Goldman great songwriter on his own right wrote for

Your love no mo today 60 songs that Hermes Hermit the Yard Birds did but what a great art rock record covered by hypnosis just love this record of course one of the greatest pop classic songs of all time is I’m not in love multi-layered harmonies ironically the

Same year as Bohemian rap city they were kind of very similar not musically soundwise but they were produced all the overlapping number of harmonies and vocals and layers just a beautiful record I go teni SE over Queen but they’re very different they have a kind of a weird sense of humor a little

Different take on things but uh number five a band from Manchester England number six what band or musician did you listen to most in 2023 well I’m going to go with Bob Dylan because uh even though I’m a big Beatles fan I listen to a lot

Of Beatles not always there’s so much in Dylan’s catalog of course the Beatles only had 11 what 11 12 13 albums depending on how you’re counting Dylan’s had so many periods the bootleg series of things I just love I’m all in on Bob Dylan so I’d say of all the artist most

Years actually it is Bob Dylan I go back and forth with the early years the later years to me uh one of the greatest record makers ever and of course an iconic uh figure in popular music and folk music Love Bob Dylan number six show seven 7in records

745s so I’m going to do Punk and I’m going to do American Punk American Poetry Punk folk Punk and British UK Punk first I picked two band only and the Sex Pistols these are UK 45s original UK 45s God saved the queen backed with you know Wrong by The Sex

Pistols Anarchy in the UK and I want to be me pretty vacant The Sex Pistols backed with no fun on Virgin Records 1977 The Sex Pistols then oh one more Holiday in the Sun Sex Pistols satellite Sex Pistols then we got the Patty Smith group now this was my apartment theme

Song with my friend jit Brooks because of the beide we’d play Gloria but when we were just feeling all kind of we wanted to blast the stereo have those JBL L1 100s like up the neighbors downstairs we put the Beast Hut on the live version of my generation we you

Don’t need that talking about my generation Lenny K great great 45 still want to be a rock and roll star Patty Smith on aista records love these singles all my originals and hey Joe and piss Factory of course uh this is 1977 on sire records this was a special edition I

Forgot this was on sire and I actually have looks like I have here two copies two copies of Patty Smith so those are 745s Punk 45s planes are landing all around me question number eight who’s coming to your party choose for music related people to come to an imaginary dinner

Party would there be imaginary food you know Yoko should be there if it’s conceptual but I picking four and I’ll tell you why I’m picking John Leonard Leonard Cohen Randy Newman and Patty Smith now Dylan with would be interesting but Dylan is so quiet sometimes he’s kind of

Weird I think he’s on the Spectrum or something I like Bob Dylan reny Newman would be hysterical and I like to talk politics so you got John lyen who’s very political and talking about you know music and politics and he just he just he’s way over the top Leonard Cohen’s

Got sort of a calming effect you know more a spiritual thing and not like pushing religion in your face but I do like the spiritual side of of uh you know where are we in the world why are we here and all and that and the sexual

Side of sexual politics and things Randy Newman is just hysterical his political side his rise sense of humor and I think Patty Smith would would tie it together and I like the beat poet side of her I like there’s a certain like New York uh attitude I know she’s not originally

From there but I just like that scene and hearing those stories I think that would be an interesting group of people uh to talk do I’m sure there are many others in fact there are many others that I’d love to uh hang out and speak

With but right now the mood I’m in right now those four would be pretty pretty Fun the next question is we lost them in 2023 an artist musicians who passed away and to me the most important one for a lot of reasons is chenet O Conor she was right and you know she got lambasted for being very outspoken be a woman outspoken for her politics for her

Religion but what a great singer what a great debut album this is the line in the Cobra beautiful Irish music as well folk music on other albums great reggae even some show tunes but um you know what an amazing artist Shane McGowan too another great Irish artist we uh lost

Towards the end of the year but I for this question I have to go with sheno Connor one of the most important artists I think of our times uh sheno Connor great records great figure a great woman and um a tragedy uh her loss question number 10 imagine you

Could only listen to music from one country what country would it be well it would have to be England for me the English Invasion obviously the Beatles The Kinks the stones Kate Bush all that wonderful music punk music The Clash Sex Pistols I mean just a plethora of

English folk music the folk rock scene the British uh folk scene like pent Tango folk Jazz Fairport convention that would be it now of course that means I would lose Bob Dylan I would lose the birds I would lose uh the summer of uh the Jefferson airplanes and all the uh

San Francisco psychedelic bands but um I I would have to sacrifice you’re going to sacrifice something if you only pick one country so for me it would be England I would pick England would that be the whole United Kingdom do I get the whole United Kingdom that would be uh nice but uh

England can’t help it question number 11 is name three vinyl Community channels you discovered in 2023 two of the three were friends of mine and so I’m going to give them a shout out and I they find finally jumped in on all this Glory of vinyl Community making records and their

Music lovers I’m going to uh choose and not in any particular order my friend Todd lost mix tapes he’s in that vein like my buddy digital gramophone like Chris the long cut where they’re into Wilco and Uncle Tupelo and Springsteen and Jason isbel but they’re in so much

More and uh Todd lost mixtapes just finished a great uh mult multi-art ranking of R and I just like his casual uh his casual presentation what’s great about two of these I like where people show records and they tell personal stories of how they found the music so

The first one is lost mixtapes Todd check them out I’ll put links below to these channels next is Dr Robert Bob har uh he’s been a friend of mine only less than three years now and he actually was a spine surgeon newly retired he has an amazing collection and he does videos on

Repairing records and record cleaning and he is he the way he labels his records um he’s been on my channel before with the Dizzy auctions and other things so uh Dr Robert Dr Bob Robert Hart be a link below and the other one is um a live stream in a channel that I

Know they started before 2023 and I got to know them but before that in 2022 but I’ve really got into them more this last year and I’m going to say I love you Jazz bums the three Jazz bums uh Felipe Chris and Mike who I the only one I met

In person so far in New York a few months ago at the WFMU record show I love the Jazz BMS and what’s great about it too is they’re learning they’re fairly new except maybe for Felipe they’ve only been into jazz a few years and it’s fun to watch their journey and

How deep they are I mean I’ve been buying Jazz records for 50 plus years and I don’t know the details what they know but uh I do want to give give a shout out to the Jazz bums there’s plenty of others a lot of others I like

Uh which I may mention at other times in other videos but those three since I’m going to Lim myself to three uh those are other vinyl Community channels check them out below question number 12 show a record you bought as a teenager Jesus Christ that be showing hundreds of Records we’re near an airport we’re near two airports boing field and SE so record you bought as a teenager I wanted to some show something a little esoteric that I bought in 1968 strictly because of the cover this is my original cover torn this is the United States of

America the original American columia records uh the Avant guard psychedelic electronic group led by Joseph bird and Dorothy marwitz uh obviously he would uh put another record out a few years later of the field hippies he actually produced Co co-produced and arranged R Hooter’s Jazz

Album and can I get this out now I’m not sure if I can out here under the freeway under the freeway over pass this is see this is I’m doing a lot for this uh vinyl tag you know this cover Sunday’s did a cool reissue of the mono

Version this is a freaking great record and I remember I played This Record a lot this was produced by David rubinson who had eventually uh moved to the Bay Area produce Santana The Pointer Sisters so he was a mainly a Columbia staff producer went on his own bought Columbia

Studios in San Francisco it became the automat did a lot of great great records uh and Fred catara engineered a lot of them but this is amazing album there’s a lot of layers on it a lot of stuff going on and as a 14-year-old Jesus Christ the next

Question is show a soul or Funk record I’m going with soul I’m going literally with the man who invented Soul I’m going with the great Sam Cook what a fantastic record nightbeat he comes from the gospels side did a series of secular records and gospel records what a voice

To me one of the most beautiful Soulful voices ever uh in any from any genre so this is Sam Cooks this is a nightbeat Mr soul God what a fantastic record now we’re on to a two-parter show a record you think everybody has and show a record you think nobody has now

I’m sure somebody has the second I’m going to show and I bet you there’s people that don’t have the first one I show but I think everyone should definitely have sticky fingers by The Rolling Stones with this great Andy Warhol zipper cover and pulled on the zipper open the flap

And see the bump of actor provocator Joe delsandro on here Sticky Fingers what a great great record and then I don’t I’m going to say no one has this but I’m sure somebody out there has it and this is still in shrink a Kmart price of

$333 and it’s Wayne Newton now with the great hit donen donen D next one uh the next question is about a record you bought by a female artist they don’t ask you if you bought a mail artist I mean so it’s too bad but if you like the music you like the

Music I I showcase this this is Jenny Lewis’s new album she used to being riy Kylie R Kylie I saw her this year I’ve seen her several times this is very uh reminiscent of a’ 70s record very Soulful very country a mix of LA and Nashville she lives back in Nashville

Now she has really smart biting lyrics really humorous but not uh politically humorous like a Randy Newman say but uh I love Jenny Lewis this is a wonderful record this is called Joy y’all by Jenny Lewis this year just one of many uh female artists I bought a lot of air traffic around

Today question number 16 is the favorite video you created which means me because I’m answering these questions the favorite video hands down is the one I did and it didn’t get as many views as a lot of other videos I do that are more not controversial but maybe clickbait advertising or

Thumbnails or something uh but it’s definitely Beck and Bor 30 years of adventurous pop music I think that these two artists are the most adventurous creative pop art artist of the last 25 30 years definitely and I’m talking about uh the blend of commercialism accessibility and experimental and they rarely repeat

Themselves specifically of course uh bork comes from the sugar cubes out of Iceland and does sort of a electronic Post Punk mixes in with a lot of ethereal ambiant music and beats and a lot of electronics and soundscapes and just very experimental works with a lot of wonderful collaborators and uh I

Think she is just uh one of the greatest artists uh you know going and still going strong and then back of course this is mutations this is his record again this is interesting because this one it has its reminiscent of like late 60s Kings and early 70s David Bowie of

That folk British he almost sounds British in a way with some folky country uh songs mixed in here Love This Record but of course he’s worked with the Dust Brothers he’s done you know psychedelic folk country music he’s done dance music and funky music I mean Midnight Vultures

As I said many times and I’m repeating myself but it’s the best Prince record Prince never made which needs a vinyl reissue ASAP as far as I’m concerned but back to me and Bor are the two consistently interesting uh commercial crossover avantgard maybe or at least adventurous or not avantgard but they’re

Adventurous pop artist very accessible but you have to follow the trail and I like when an artist really does change up their sound doesn’t just repeat themselves every single time uh so Beck and bork and the second part the favorite video I’ve watched in 2023 I think it’s

Not any one video I really enjoy the streams where I’ve met some people where you have a one-on-one whether it’s Rachel’s ghost whether it’s a Dom seeking a thread to some stream uh whether it is um the metal Theologian just a hangout with him whether it’s the

Jazz bums on Friday night 5:00 p.m. Pacific 8:00 P.M Eastern where it’s pbthal who does his Hangouts several times a week I just like the ideas of a live stream I participate sometimes on them sometimes I’m just listening and put it on like you’re having the radio

In the background stunty on Friday uh stunt Rock infusion has a stream where he actually plays a lot of experimental uh music ambiant music uh Noise music Industrial Music and not that I like every single thing but I it’s adventurous music that I’m interested in

Listening to and and some of it I do check out so I love I love that I love listening and participating and experiencing the live streams and that accessibility and uh you know sometimes you’re in the gallery and you’re just typing your comments and you’ve there’s other people like-minded people yeah

There’s Tweakers once in a while George boron’s another one he did his 24 hour like God how can I forget George bordon and I Met George in San Francisco a few months ago so the I would say uh my favorites are the various live streams not any one video Someone created uh

That I can think off off the top of my head okay Georgetown is the the oldest neighborhood in Seattle not like the Georgetown in the east coast what Virginia wherever it is uh this is the Seattle version not too 10 minutes from where I live the next question is an

Album from the 1990s a classic a great record this might be my favorite record from 1990s automatic for the people from 1992 obviously uh there’s a sound a mood to this one the the acoustic the mandolin well not the mandolins well a lot of great a lot of noise today as I’ve said

Many times I um I can’t get away from that but what a great Co the cover was uh co-created um by Michael styp and our friend Tom ran when he was at Warner Brothers record so uh I just love this record every song is a killer on this

Everybody Heards one of the most beautiful songs on uh that they’ve ever done but I would say Night Swimming the piano on that that is a gem the Night Swimming is the secret sauce on this album that is so beautiful but man on the moon of course they even made like a

Movie they called The Andy coffin bio man on the moon uh star me kitten me kitten you know there’s a version I think there’s a version of that by uh is it William buroughs is that with um Lori Anderson I’m getting all confused right now but what a classic

Great 1992 record ’90s record R Athens Georgia great freaking band whoa this is a good question this is the only question I think that’s good Rob Walker sorry I think the other ones are all redundant and every year this is the best question of this video sorry but

I’m going to be honest with you with you okay I think we need uh some new blood on this but uh some new interesting questions if you could walk into an album cover of your choice an album that you have in your collection you know in

Real life make it a real scene what album cover what a great question this is and I I knew exactly right away which one I would do what Julie wants Julie gets Julie London look at that first of all she’s got this now I don’t like you

Know they had to kill how many uh minks to make that mink coat but uh I first of all I love her voice you know great music great kind of sexy Jazzy cocktail loungy music uh great series of Records on Liberty records of course you got all

This money around now I’m not a money hunk I mean she’s got a tiara and a champagne and that’s pretty sweet that is fraking pretty sweet so no question I I would rather be here than walking across saby road with the four Fabs Fab fours or anywhere else on I can’t

Imagine almost any other cover off the top of my head right now so right away I gravitated to Julie London I would be in this scene with Julie and what Julie wants Julie gets next question is show a record that plays like a greatest hits record basically a record that you love

Maybe you love every single track it’s not a greatest hits but to you it’s like of greatest hits and I’m going to shout out hounds of love Kate Bush 1976 is it I’m sorry 1985 I was way off on that one but um Love This Record I

Mean every song to me is great the sweets on side too uh the running up that hill Cloud busting Big Sky mother stands for Comfort beautiful songs it flows it is like a greatest hits record Kate Bush from 1985 great great great great record and the last question from the 2024

Vinyl tag is show record from 1974 which is 50 years ago I can’t believe I Got This Record 50 years ago it’s it might be my favorite album in 1974 if not it’s one of them and it was a postumus release that came out now long after he died and that’s Grievous

Angel by Graham Parsons with Emy L Harris perfect record opens up very sentimental record for me for a lot of Reas reasons but Grievous Angel with a great country rock album uh I’d say this is a perfect record there’s Honky Tonk there’s louven Brothers type songs you know obviously a participant who worked

With the birds on sweetheart of the rodeo in 1968 and then the Flying Burrito Brothers but repri records Grievous Angel Warner Brothers records or repri records I guess uh with Emy Lou Harris from 1974 thank you for watching the 2024 vinyl tag on location in Seattle Mazy loves you see you next time
