This is what happens when you forget to paint outside the box. My whole "ThriftStoreGems" podcasts were based off the fact that I would find cassettes at thrift stores and convert them to mp3s and then bring them to the masses but something happened along the way. As I would go to thrift stores, good will stores I wasn't coming across cassettes the way I used so those podcasts came to an halt.
But what if I would find cds at these stores...would they still be considered "ThriftStoreGems"? and the answer to that question was...
Yes.
I come to the conclusion that if I find great music in these type of stores whether cassettes or cds they are gems because the fun is in the hunt when it comes to finding these treasures.
Four cds I found that one is an pioneer when it comes to jazz music, a younger brother that didn't want to be in the shadow of his brother, a duo that I have followed for a while and a album when first seen it I passed on it and now that I picked it up I wished I would have followed him sooner.
The albums you will hear in this next hour will be:
- Everything But The Girl's "Walking Wounded"{ Rhapsody | Amazon }
- Dave Grusin's "Night-Lines"{ iTunes | Amazon }
- Don Grusin's "Zephyr"{ Amazon | Yahoo! Music }
- Moby's "Play"{ eMusic | Amazon | iTunes }
While listening to these albums to chose which tunes to bring to the masses it took me back to a time when I was single and just chilling at my apartment on a Saturday evening by myself stretched out on the couch with candles lit and just absorbing the music, letting it just wash over me and through me. It took me to a time when record shops were still popular and there was a huge selection of cds to choose from and the people that worked in the store knew you by your face and by your name. When a new Jazz or New Age album came in there would call me a let me know what was new. I miss those times but I thank God that now I can still find this music and
