Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 3hThis Modern Lovers bootleg is an absolutely essential addition to the two studio LPs and the Longbranch live LP. These are studio recordings that predate the Original Modern Lovers LP and feature Real Kids’ John Felice. Goosebumps stuff! 030
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I haven’t heard all of Dean McPhee’s albums, but as far as I can tell this is his deepest release yet. Highly recommended! 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I set up a Gary Higgins show for Friday, November 6th at the Somerville Armory Café. Spread the word and come on down if you are in the Boston area. 040
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Here's a lovely David Fair vignette. vimeo.com/150444762vimeo.comDAVID FAIR IS THE KING!

Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 25/08/2026This track is magical and may very well be my favorite Angel Olsen song. It’s a shame it’s only available on a bonus CD that came with her second album, so many may never have heard it. youtube.com/watch?v=A2XP...youtube.comWhite Water (Bonus Track)YouTube video by Angel Olsen - Topic 000
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 21/08/2026A legit bar burner with a message that still rings through. youtu.be/PS6m0OmbNMU?... 000
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I decided to join the @lidders.bsky.social Buzzy Linhart Appreciation Society. The bottom two LPs I’ve had since the 90s. The top three set me back $15 at Angry Mom last week. It intrigues me that Buzzy played vibes with Fred Neil, which never got recorded. I imagine that Tim Buckley took note 040
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Any Curt Newbury fans out there? Not quite Gene Clark or Gary Higgins level, but this is a damn fine folk rock LP. 030
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Sad news! I just got word that Jeff Conolly of the Lyres has passed away. I’ve booked his band in the 80s and worked with him in record stores. A great guy. Lyres was far away the best of the many bands of that mid-80s garage explosion. All sweat, all heart and great songs. 071
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 28/07/2026This brand new Gary Stewart demos LP is stellar. The final track, “Williamson County” is one of the most devastating songs you’ll ever hear. Dug up by Mark Linn for his Delmore Recording Society label. Earlier responsible for top archival releases on Karen Dalton and Peter Walker. 1131
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Great US exploitation pop psych LP produced by Bob Crewe that sounds more like UK bands like The Zombies and July. Especially side 1 is flawless. 011
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026No more Brazilian soccer on the world stage. Perhaps a good reason to take this one for a spin next. 050
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Absolutely agree. I’m hoping they’ll tour the east coast one of these days. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026The two newly unearthed, side-long tracks on this reissue are slowly going to fantastic places. 🔥 160
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 26/06/2026There are currently some impressive newer artists that have picked up the classic 70s MPB gauntlet. Ricardo Dias Gomes, Wolfgang Pérez and Domenico Lancellotti are three faves. This 2LP by Raphael Gimenes is also highly recommended and gets better with every spin. 140
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 23/06/2026A fan of Egberto Gismonti or Milton Nascimento will dig this fab Brazilian prog LP by A Barca Do Sol. It’s just rotten that a label doing all these fine MPB reissues is releasing them in limited quantities in a no exports, subscription/record club type deal. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I’m happy as a clam with this new BASIC LP. They’ll be in town in two weeks as well. Looking forward to it. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I can’t get enough of these Brazilian nuggets from the 70s. 030
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 05/06/2026A damn fine Stax LP! Has a devastating opening track. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Fantastic jazzy, proggy MPB, released in 1973. Will more than appeal if you like Clube Da Esquina and Lo Borges. 041
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I’ve digging the Stranglers’ strangest album since the day it was released, but somehow it only has gotten better with time. I hear a lot of Beefheart and early-Devo. 000
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 19/05/2026My favorite release of the year so far. Bram Devens’ music has a unique inner logic that never fails to get me. I doesn’t matter if he plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or like here, a dubby piano. FYI: Very affordable US shipping of this Belgium LP on Bandcamp. @okrainarecords.bsky.social 261
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 19/05/2026These two Edwards Hand LPs are underrated. They don’t quite reach Badfinger or Parachute levels, but are definitely worth your time. Still cheap and both produced by George Martin no less. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Mesmerizing NIS show tonight. One of the best bands going right now. 030
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 30/04/2026This reissue of Ivan Lins’ 1974 LP Modo Livre was the only RSD release this year that I was clamoring for. A sweet Brazilian LP from the classic period. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Not as odd as the Howard Roberts Impulse albums, but still a pretty good guitar jazz LP. I vote for @billorcutt.bsky.social to plagiarize this cover concept for a future release. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 18/04/2026When it comes to insane African guitar music this may very well be the sickest puppy. Ngozi Family or Witch sound square compared to this. 040
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 08/04/2026It’s filing records day today. These ECM LPs by Om (3) and Red Twist & Tuned Arrow all feature Christy Doran on guitar, are a bit overlooked and are well worth your time. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Another good one on tap. Drummer from The Nice started a short-lived band with Skip Bifferty singer. The way this all falls together is pretty damn glorious. Got this after @andrewmale.bsky.social tipped this LP in the Twitter era. 171
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Eric Mercury. Swell Richie Haven-like soul-folk with some Hendrix-y guitar spats here and there. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 01/04/2026It’s been exactly a year since we had to say goodbye to Michael Hurley. We’re on our way to Amherst to share a Snock-centric lunch with some good friends of Michael. 191
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 29/03/2026It’s a good Sunday morning with Myriam Gendron on the turntable. 040
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 22/03/2026This is an astounding mini doc on the Brazilian ‘70s band Novos Baianos, living a communal life and playing amazing music. The best thing I’ve caught on YouTube in a while youtube.com/watch?v=PWwg...youtube.comNovos Baianos Futebol Clube 1973 (doc)YouTube video by Everson Verdião 061
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 20/03/2026The first ones with more to follow soon. 000
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Original copies of this underrated Butterfield LP came with a cool poster that had lengthy biographies of those involved on the flip. Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett on guitars. Cheap heat, still to be had under $10. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 08/03/2026The Somerville, MA sky tonight. I didn’t mess with any contrast or saturation filters here. 060
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Great new photo book of the Velvet Underground’s Boston Tea Party shows. The thinly veiled photographer was a teenage super fan who soon would start a band using the same adjective. 040
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I’m saddened to find out this morning that my friend Brendan Foreman passed away. Brendan lived in Dublin and was possibly the world’s biggest Michael Hurley fan. He ran the Blue Navigator Magazine which reported on all things Hurley for 30 years. 3244
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Chris Knox, Not Given Lightly. A biography by Craig Robertson. I’m looking forward to tear into this one. Since it’s a biography on Chris Knox it is also a great looking book with lots of reproductions of his great cartoon art. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Some days this is my favorite LP by The Sound. Their darkest and recorded while all four members were fighting different addictions. I’m sure WEA realized that they would never enter the U2, Cure and Simple Minds sweepstakes with this one. 051
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Are there fans of this LP out there? Resides in a world somewhere between Hunky Dory and pre-cosmic Roy Harper. 010
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Groovy mix of jazz, funk and township jive by this Ghanaian percussionist who put in time with Traffic and Can. 020
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 14/01/2026After owning an iffy bootleg since the 90s, I finally ran into an original of this Amory Kane LP. Fab folk-psych produced by Tony Cox (Trees, Caravan). With nice electronic flourishes by Ron Geesin. One that needs a proper reissue. 130
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 10/01/2026RIP Amos Poe. I remember seeing his Subway Riders movie in 1983 before Sonic Youth tore into an amazing set. The movie is about serial killing sax player. Thurston’s memorable band introduction was “We’re The Sonic Youth from New York City and we hate saxophones!” 151
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Brother JT. Now, that’s a brother I believe in. 020
Reposted by Jaap NiemandweetHarry Prenger @harryprenger.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Nice story on Dutch artist Marte Röling and the album covers she created in the 1960s for jazz records that have since become rare. vinylspot.nl/story/the-mi... 094
Jaap Niemandweet @jaapniemandweet.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Testing the bunker-busting capabilities of my speakers. This must be one of the sickest dub explorations ever. 🧨🤯🧨 2132
