They say today is Figure Friday. So, let's go to a tiny figure I have on my desk.
When I graduated kindergarten, this little puppy was sitting on the top of the cake. All through my childhood and into college, it followed me on my dresser the entire time.
Since I entered the workforce after graduating with my Masters, it has been on my desk since. It's a good reminder, I totally was a "Super Grad" from kindergarten. I could tie my shoes and everything.
I should be promoting my new album but I got distracted recreating #synth sounds for songs I might want to cover live. I'm guessing many of you will recognize this one right off the bat. It's not perfect but I think I got pretty darned close!
I'm using a sample from a Novation Nova which is a 1999 synth so I'm assuming that patch was in turn a recreation of the original. Which I think was an OBX, but don't quote me on that.
The A-Team from the 1980s is my favorite TV show, and they had these big hardcover 'Annual' books they'd put out for it. I just discovered the one from 1984 is at the Internet Archive, and if you log in, you can 'borrow' it for an hour (and every hour it resets) and flip through all the scanned pages. It's totally wild.
I have another one for #TuneTuesday and #SameTitleDifferentSong. This one often comes to mind for me, too. The third one is missing the 'ing' but I'm still counting it, especially since Dave played for Tom and they were friends. I love the SHIT outta all THREE of these songs.
DE LA SOUL
3 Feet High And Rising
2023 Europe 2xLP Reissue
Yellow Opaque Vinyl
1 of my 3 ALL TIME favorite #hiphop album. A masterpiece of the genre.
I was in the mood to hear this, & thought I had it in my library, but didn’t.
So I remedied that & grabbed this excellent sounding reissue.
Deep, thumpy, & killer.
We recently lost David Jolicoeur (Plug 2) in ‘23.
When our time is over, we should all be so lucky to have given a gift like this to the world. #vinyl#vinylrecords#rap#jazz#80s
