I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.
This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.
It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.
What was your first?
Idles kicks ass! When I was in college I read some article about Hermann Szobel and couldn't find any digital copy of this weird album that I was curious about, so I bought the record on eBay and borrowed my dad's old cheap Sony turntable that he had used in college some 40 years earlier. Now I have like 400 records, so I guess that weird old jazz record was a gateway drug.
There are deep cuts and deep cuts... ๐
