As might have been evident based on the pace of posting here, I’ve been struggling through the end of the Summer and Fall, trying to balance my academic work along with existential dread of the pandemic. However, my ongoing vinyl addiction continues unabated, so there is plenty of music to share, but actually sitting down to write the posts and post them all is another story entirely. “Elation” was chosen for September’s edition of “Moods” because of a true blessing from the record gods…on the same weekend, Cool Chris of Groove Merchant did a pop-up at Rappcats and the folks at Artform Studios came back from Brasil with a whole lot of goodies. Perhaps, I over indulged, given how many records I bought and how much money I spent. But what’s the point of being a vinyl addict if you don’t occasionally over-indulge? For me, there are fewer things that bring me great joy and happiness, or elation, than being able to find records that I’ve never had before or never heard before and that definitely was the case this month. The first set features records from Artform Studios, all from Brasil, and the second set features tunes dug up from the Groove Merchant pop-up. I hope you dig on it all!
