Hi Morten! I do enjoy Dido's voice, but I'm not familiar with her other albums. That is something I will need to fix! I also really like Teenage Fanclub. There are still a few of their albums (and singles) that I need to pick up. Thanks for watching!

@@DavesBasementGrooves I think most of them can be obtaiend for a very reasonable amount of schekels these days.

She definitely has a wonderfully warm voice. I've never heard any of her other albums, but if I come across them I'll give them a try. Teenage Fanclub remains one of my favorite Scottish "indie" bands. They've been pretty consistent over the years. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah, I stumbled on the Vulgar Devils on CZcams and had to snag both their albums. Their second album (on vinyl) will be in my next update video.

Yep, they're still cranking out the albums. They may have lost a step or two, but I still dig their sound. Honestly, when it comes to CDs I tend to buy more "new" music on CD than vinyl. The prices of CDs are also getting ridiculous, but when they're in the $12-$14 range and the vinyl version is hovering around $30, I can't justify to myself not going the CD route. Thanks Steve!

I picked up the shirt from teepublic (not sure how "official" it is haha). Grand Funk is one of my favorite bands, and they would be even if they weren't from Michigan haha. The interesting thing, to me anyway, was when they got their start they didn't want to be associated with Michigan or Detroit. Now, of course, they fully embrace their origins. Thanks for watching!

@@DavesBasementGrooves 😊

They are one of mine as well - but I was never fortunate enough to catch them live. They're still tooling around, but without Mark I don't know that I would go out of my way to see them now lol. Thanks for watching!

Hi Mark! I only ever knew Starpoint's Object of my Desire, but I'll probably pick up their earlier albums if I run across them since I did enjoy much of the rest of that album. The Betty Cooper album, overall, didn't really hold my interest but I do think it is an appealing album to the right listener. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah, they're still kicking around though Mark is no longer with them. I'd love to see just one more reunion tour! Thanks for watching!

Hi Steve! I was a little let down by that album - I expected a little more "rock", but you definitely should give them a try. Have a look through Bellyache's catalog - there are a lot of bands I think you'd dig. Voyag3r is an interesting group, and of course there's the always unique sounds of Slasher Dave (formerly of Acid Witch). Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah, Saxon are one of my favorite metal bands and have been ever since I picked up a cassette of the Crusader album back in the mid-80s. My wife and I just caught them live with Uriah Heap a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!!!

My pleasure! You really have a great singles collection! Drone-y - yes! Perfect description of Enclouded. I wish they'd done more. I have a couple of other 100 Proof singles as well as their debut album, still on the hunt for their 2nd. Hope you enjoy your weekend too!

This is the only release I have from them. I've been on the lookout ever since for their albums, but neither one has been showing up around here. One day I'm sure I'll wander over to Discogs and see what I can get. Thanks for watching!

I agree! I think it must have just been a one-off novelty project, what with the singer doing the fashion boutique thing. Still, would have been nice to hear more. Thanks for watching and subscribing!!

My pleasure! Have a great weekend!

Thanks Steve! I do collect quite a bit of 45s. Usually I spend more time flipping through the 45s than the albums when I'm out and about. I especially love finding the bands that only release a single or two before disappearing. And of course the non-album tracks I love tracking down!

I'm willing to bet the Klondike people sent them a "cease and desist" letter - or maybe it was Ben & Jerry's? Anyway, I would be willing to bet that they were involved in other bands. I'm trying to get in touch with the producer to see if he has any memories of this recording. Interesting enough, the Big Brother did not catch the Bananarama clip, but it did catch the Radio Stars. Go figure!

@@DavesBasementGrooves Ha ha 😄

I admit that I'm not aware of Moby's recent work. I'll give it a listen. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, I definitely get tongue-tied when trying to pronounce Finnish surnames - hopefully no one takes offense! You know, one of the first things that I noticed when I watched one of your videos the very first time - your Mjölnir. Very important in our household too. As for the brewery - I have had that shirt for a very long time! Thankfully I can still fit into it haha.

@@DavesBasementGrooves Yes, my dad told me about that ingress thing when I was a child, and I didn’t think it was possible (We may have finnish blood on my grandfathers sode of the family, as they lived near the border with Sweden called Finnskogene. Slash and burn farmers from Finland arrived in the 16 and 17 hundreds after Denmark gave up Jämtland and Herjedalen from Norway to Sweden and wanted to populate the erea. Many of these farmers didn’t know where the border was and ended up in Norway). I love my norse heritage and the religion very much, sort of an identity thing for me being an actual Scandinavian (Norwegian, danish and Swedish heritage). And history, love love reading history. Wish I still fit my old t-shirts, have some fun ones. But never came across that brewery. 😊 Cheers from Morten

I hadn't heard about the new single yet! Looks like the B-side is a cover of a Bonnie Tyler tune. Yeah, I'm in! Thanks for the head's up and for stopping by!

lol for the dollar it cost me, it's definitely worth it - even if just for the conversation value 😄 Thanks for watching!

Haha! Probably so - but honestly, it sounds a bit painful 😂

I have the same problem with the estate sales; us working folk have it bad.

@@mad4vinyl802 I know what my retirement plans are!

Thank you so much! It took years for me to finally get this spot, and I love it! You'll get there! Thank you so much for watching 😄

HA! That's what I was thinking too when I first saw this. Happenin' times, I guess. Thanks Steve!

I appreciate that! Thank you for your service as well! I'm guessing from your user name you have ties to Alaska? I was stationed at Elmendorf from '92 to '95 - absolutely loved it. Anyway, the shelves I use for my records are Kallax 4x4 from Ikea. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah, I wish Wet would have released more than just this single, but the band members were in so many other projects that I don't think my want list will shrink anytime soon!

Yeah, the look of that packaging caught my eye and I couldn't leave it in the bin lol. Thanks for watching!

Stylish is not a word that anyone uses when talking about my taste in pretty much anything lol. But thank you, I appreciate the compliment!

@@DavesBasementGrooves Their loss. Really like the retro look of it all.

Thanks man! The GBI was on my list as a "if they have it, cool" sort of thing but I am happy I picked it. I'm a Scottie Ian fan, so I dig these odds & ends that he's involved with. Cheers!

Thanks! I picked up that Wet record because the colors caught my attention, and I'm glad I did. Too bad it was their only release. Have a great weekend!

Thank you!

I was a little disappointed with Maladroit, but it stands to reason that with so many albums I'm bound to run into at least a couple that I could live without. As for the Pet Shop Boys, their '80s stuff remains timeless to my ears. There are other synthpop bands from that era that I still enjoy, but maybe just a handful of songs as opposed to full albums. Thanks for watching!

Ugh. 39 years! Honestly, I love that song just as much - maybe even more - than I did when it first came out. Their music is so timeless. Cheers!

@@DavesBasementGrooves I remember that summer, I got West End Girl and 19 by Paul Hardcastle at the same time in Skagen. We had a stereo/recordshop, in fact we had two!

@@mortenaastad796 Ahh, Paul Hardcastle! It has been many years since I've heard 19. I don't own it... yet 😆

@@DavesBasementGrooves I had the 7’’ but its long since disappeared.

Thank you!

Thank you! It's a spot that really helps me unwind and forget about the bs of the day. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I really love their debut. I quite enjoy their later hits too, but as far as full albums go I really dig their first. Thanks for watching!

HA! That's a new one. I would definitely never find anything. Thanks for watching!

that's how Rob (John Cusak) was organizing his record collection in the movie High Fidelity

@@orangerooster73 Well, now I feel like an ass. I guess I know what happened to the brain cell that was storing that memory!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I very much appreciate that. Room tours are my favorite videos as well! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I was surprised at how much room is available once all the kids move out. As for the stool, at least it's not UK. Although, unlike the Wolverines, they're not much of a threat to TN 😉

Thank you!!!!

Thank you! I was a little worried about the blue as I was painting, but it really worked out well. I appreciate you stopping by! Cheers!

Thank you! Yeah, she's a keeper haha. I am very lucky that she's as supportive of my "habit" as she is. Cheers!

Thank you! Yes, the room gives me a great sense of calm.

Yes, that's the one I have. I've heard that the blue is much better, but for me this works perfectly.

@@DavesBasementGroovesI have both the Blue and Red and prefer the Red. Nice room, enjoyed the tour…

@@DavesBasementGrooves I had blue, blue is better!But I already use AT 740 and AT 530 E

@@shaynebraid Thank you!

@@MegaPalesz you’re welcome I have a modest system. Micro Seiki Solid 5 Turntable (from 1974) and a Marantz 2220B Receiver (From 1974) with Paradigm Speakers. Hope that helps, I thought the Blue would be better because of the hype, it wasn’t…

Hey Greg! Thanks for stopping by and the great feedback! Yeah, I felt like I should've been in traction after putting that floor in haha. USAF 90-98!! Thank you for your service as well brother!
