At The Risk Of Having My Gay Card Revoked…

Meh. Just meh.

This, on the other hand…

I listened to this on my morning commute today, and I actually arrived at work in a really good mood. There’s just something about this album that puts a smile on my face, no matter how cranky I might be otherwise. There’s an exuberance, a life in the music that is sadly lacking from Madge’s more recent work.

And I may have just spent a ridiculous—at least for me—amount of money to secure a copy of True Blue on true blue vinyl. Just sayin’…

Grace Jones: Warm Leatherette (1980)

My favorite—or maybe second favorite—Grace Jones album. I can never definitively say if this or Nightclubbing is my favorite. They’re both so good they could easily have been released as a double LP.

Recent Acquisitions

I saw this disc on an Instagram post and had to have it. It’s always been a favorite film and soundtrack of mine, so seeing it on Tiffany-blue vinyl was all I needed. Tracking down this particular pressing was a bit more difficult. I bought one from Discogs.com that was listed as “blue vinyl,” but it was actually royal blue, not this gorgeous teal.

Of course, I hadn’t favorited it on Instagram, so tracking it down again was a bit of a chore, but after messaging the owner I got the specific record label and catalog number and was able to find it that way.

I don’t know what prompted me to seek this one out, but I’m glad I did.
