    SILENT RUNNINGEmotional Warfare1984 U.S. pressingSome infectious #newwave -y #1980s #alternative rock for a chill Sunday morning. I found this in a used bin in Atlanta, Georgia about 6 months before COVIDpalooza broke out. I was there making a record, and I will fill the downtime by going to Braves games and sifting through a random record store down in The Battery. I had never heard of it before, and since it was cheap, took a shot. Despite what the one lone asshole on this album’s Discogs page had to say (who hurt you, dude?), it’s not without its merits. MY pressing does NOT sound muddled or washy. It’s actually quite big and crisp on my system, even though it does fall victim to every #80s production trope (cannon shot snare drums, etc…).But the songs are pretty good, particularly the title track. And if you like that 82-84 genre of big synthy rock and pop, you’ll probably dig it. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music

    VARIOUS ARTISTSThe Enigma Variations1985 U.S. 2xLP CompilationFriday is finally here! Celebrating with one of my all-time favorite compilations. A KILLER assortment of #80s #alternative , #synthpop , #newwave and #powerpop with some of my most beloved underground bands of that decade. Bands like Jet Black Berries, Leaving Trains, Red Kross, Rain Parade, Green On Red, and Game Theory just to name a few. However, one song in particular was the sole reason I bought this. John Trubee was a bit of a cult figure. An underground poet, writer and musician whose claim to fame is the song that appears here, “A Blind Man’s Penis”.The song made him an underground celebrity in the #80s & this is only one of about 500 compilations that the song has appeared on. I’ve looked for the 7” single for years, but have never come across one. When I saw that it was on this comp, it was no brainer.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #1980s
