First time hearing this pivotal Kino LP on vinyl. This Is Not Love... (Это Не Любовь...) (Machina, 2022 RE of OG 1985 Yanshiva Studio reel-to-reel). The more I listen to these guys, the more I feel like they're one of the top 10 (top 5? 3?) pop-rock bands worldwide of the 1980s

I've heard tracks before; first time hearing the entire record. Incredible experience, even three decades after the fact. Cornelius, Fantasma (Matador 1998 RE of 1997 OG). He was listening to a lot of Os Mutantes & you can feel it. "Unabashed" is the adjective that comes to mind

One of the most influential Brazilian rappers of all time, virtually unknown here. Sabotage, s/t (Somatória Do Barulho, 2017). This posthumous LP and 2001's Rap É Compromisso are well worth tracking down. Listen: youtu.be/GrptmMIg_Uc?...

030

Bodega Pop @bodegapop.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Bodega Pop @bodegapop.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

How a Polish hippie-era threnody for Józef Bem (1794–1850) brings me to sobbing tears every listen is a mystery to me. First time hearing it on vinyl. Czesław Niemen, Niemen Enigmatic (Polskie Nagrania Muza, 1970). Listen here if you don't already know it: youtu.be/OZ7hFHqon1E?...

Finally scored Volume 1, completing the set! Laila Morad Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Soutelphan, 1975). One of the greatest Egyptian voices of all time. Is it coincidental that Oum had passed just months before these were released, or had Wahab & Hafez been sitting on them, waiting ... ?
