I don’t know if this is the absolute Best album out of the Tote Project so far…

…but it’s definitely my new most odd, surprisingly wonderful favorite.
Tote Spin 108:

Flash and the Pan - s/t

Dev and I were not prepared for this on an early Sunday morning.

This is basically the offspring of Cake and Bjork making a soundtrack for a very strange gin-fueled fever dream.

Odd. Strange. Weird. Disorienting. Great.

Keeper ✅

Tote Spin 107:

Stephan Bishop -Bish

I feel the problem with 60’s/70’s easy listening pop is that the songs are just so fucking boring.

Vocal talent? Yes.

Cool guest artists? Yes

Surprising guest artists? Yes

Professional Instrumentation? Yes

Completely Forgettable? Yes

Tote Spin 106:

Poco - Ghost Town

I believe I said in a Tote Spin of one of their previous albums that they sound and feel like a better Eagles…

I stand by that statement.

Title track bangs.

The rest of the album is better than the Eagles and still not for me.

Sunday morning (thrifted) spin 1:

The Mills Brothers - Dream

What an exciting discovery that took me deep down a rabbit hole of history.

Stunning vocal melodies. Basically a perfect barbershop quartet with very light jazz.

Trailblazers in a very different time.

Sat Night Tote Spin 1:

Jarreau - s/t

It was fine… he has a decent voice… but it was just a run of the mill, kind of boring soft jazz - r&b that was so unfortunate in that era for complete lack of creativity.

Even the “hit” was dull. 😕

We just went suit shopping and I found something and I didn’t end up in the paper. I hate shopping for clothes. So. Fucking. Much.

I’m proud of me. You should be, too.

I get treat. (Xmas Ale)

“Tote Spins” is back!

Why is Tote Spins back?

Because I finally got around to re-organizing my collection for the first time in a very long time.

I’m going to need to build some more shelving as the classical section is now stored in the couch end table.
