Default Yay for new gifts in the mail!

So glad to finally have a copy of this in my library - a promo copy of Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach. Happily shelving this one right alongside Koyaanisqatsi.

Not criticizing, but why do you always put albums you're showing off next to that same lamp every single time? Alright, I guess that's a criticism, but I'm genuinely curious.

An excellent question, Batty. The answer is twofold -

First, I always display the album jacket of the now-playing LP on the plate stand sitting atop my Denon. And the lamp's home is right beside that stand. Sure it's a bit of work removing and replacing the lamp with each new spin, but until I find the right antique clawfoot lamp stand to match the room's decor, it lives atop the Denon.

The second reason is actually far more practical. My top 450 LPs are appraised at ~$18,000 and I've a policy to insure those favorite albums. One of the stipulations of the policy was that I photographically document my ownership of each insured title, and I'm the only bloke who owns that frikkin' lamp so it serves an evidentiary role to my insurer.

And it's pretty.

This sets up this evening's photo segue quite nicely - below is, very likely, the only photo of a fish head shaped picture disc proudly displayed beside a vintage fringe lamp on a black doily perched atop a rosewood turntable.

Juxtaposition is a beautiful thing.

Now playing: My newly-arrived copy of Barnes and Barnes' "Fish Heads".

It's okay. Someday you'll have a record shaped like a fish, too.

Default The Innerspace Labs Top 100 Albums!

Recently a vinyl community I frequent held a month-long event where members shared their Top 30 LPs. I had a wonderful time coming up with my list and writing small reviews for each title. Unfortunately, I had a terrible time limiting my list to just 30, and it quickly grew to a Top 100. (And even then, I’ve cheated here and there with multi-disc box sets and discographies.)

But it all seemed too good not to share here at Innerspace so please enjoy a gallery of 100 of my favorite albums. Mouse over any thumbnail for artist and title info and click any image to expand and view the full-resolution photograph. All albums are presented alphabetically by artist.

Have I made any glaring omissions? Any indisputable electronic classics? Let me know! Perhaps we’ll have to push it to 200…

Enjoy!

Note: My apologies but the html5 plugin which yields all the delightfully dynamic awesomeness of my gallery does not play well with BBCode, so I hope the community will permit me this exception to link directly to the content source.

Was it intentional for this to look like boobs?

Yes.

I'd thought that, perhaps, Batty's first comment on this post would be a congratulatory remark of resounding concordance, emphatically reciprocating my claim that John Perry Barlow's A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace is unequivocally the most culturally significant work of its era.

But upon reconsideration, I should've gone with boobs.

You are slowly beginning to understand me.
