Elvis Costello – My Aim Is True (1977)

Today’s spin….this one was a pick from the wife. There’s a track on here called Alison……her name.

This wasn’t really on my radar going in, but I always give anything a fair spin…and somewhere along the way it started to click more than I expected.

There’s something about how this record moves. Slightly restless, a little wired, it never fully settles, and that kind of works in its favor. “Alison” is the easy standout, but the whole thing carries that same sharp edge underneath it.

How did this one land for everyone else the first time around?

Today’s spin Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

Grabbed this for $3 at a local shop a couple days ago, couldn’t pass it up.

Innervisions always feels like it’s seeing more than it lets on.

It’s not just a great record—it’s Stevie threading joy, paranoia, faith, and frustration all into the same space without it ever feeling scattered. “Too High” pulls you in smooth, and before you even realize it, you’re sitting with something a lot heavier.

There’s a warmth to it, but it’s not comfortable warmth. More like sunlight through a dusty window—you can see everything a little clearer than you expected to.

And those synths… still sound like the future.

Curious where everyone lands on this one—do you come back to it for the groove, or for what’s sitting underneath it?

Pink Floyd – Animals

Been a minute since this one hit the table.

Decided it was time.

Animals doesn’t really ease you in. You either sit down with it or you don’t…..and if you do, “Dogs” alone is basically a commitment.

Thing is, I always forget how much of it slips away until I’m already halfway through side one. You think you remember it, and then realize you mostly just remember pieces of it.

2016 reissue here, Guthrie and Grundman on the master. Sounds exactly like it should…..wide, patient, and not in any rush to get where it’s going.

Do you go back to this one often or is it more of a once-in-a-while record for you?
