i know this is a long one but i broke it up into chapters! so you can always pause and come back later. thanks to all who asked these great questions!
It's always cool to listen to a music aficionado speak about their journey. It's never tedious or tiresome content, to me.
Side note: Please Kill Me was my bible in college.
I am not surprised at all you reached this milestone so quickly. It reflects the quality of the content. I tune in for the history, stories and your personal commentary on the music, but your presentation is fun and authentically entertaining also.
thank you so much!
Im kinda blown away by every answer you give here... you are so genuine and genuinely COOL! ..
A big THANK YOU, Abigail!👍 I was definitely the cool dad for both playing & even knowing about BoyGenius over Easter weekend. Gold Star Stuff!🌟
nice!! i love helping out the cool dads where i can
It's so amazing to see a brillant and beautiful young lady talking about to all these great music, absolutely stunning!!! I love it. Cheers from Brazil, dear Abby.
Finished work, it’s Friday, I just bagged the 9 LP Deep Purple “Made In Japan” expansion, Amazon are on their way with Pulps “Different Class” album and now 43 minutes of Abby! Pinch me!!!
Nice to be able to glimpse into your back story. Thank you.
Wished I’d found this “community tab” so I could have dropped in a question but I’ll get you next time on your forthcoming 20k.
Yeah, I've been watching her videos from the beginning and I STILL CAN'T figure out what the "community tab" is. Haha
Love your channel. As an OG who spent the 70s spending my lunch money growing a LP collection that's a carbon copy of yours, I certainly appreciate the nostalgia your research and reviews bring. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Ahh the 70s. Lawn jobs on Saturdays, buying records on Sunday.
Rob Tyner punched Eric Clapton? FANTASTIC. I'm belatedly discovering this video, so I'm also only belatedly discovering that story.
I haven't taken a look at Wayne Kramer's book, but I've heard him in interview, and he's very smart, articulate, and insightful. Not to mention one of the greatest guitarists too few people have heard of!
Can’t believe it’s been nearly 1 year since I saw your first video. I haven’t missed an upload since, watch them all as soon as they come out when I get home.
wow thank you so much for sticking around!
I love that pic of the Costa Concordia theater post salvage... I kinda wish I could play there ... Mold and all!!!
When I meet Abagail I will play for her (always a guitar in tune) my hilarious "Negected 11-year-old-boy learning the intro to Layla" routine on guitar. Eric knows it's wicked funny. I'll show myself out.
Finally, someone who shares my view on the pre Buckingham/Nix version of Fleetwood Mac! IMO Bare Trees is THE best FM album.
I was brought by a Peter Green fangirl (my Mum) so preferring Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac over the Buckingham Nicks era is kind of baked into me.
I live close to Detroit and I would love to go back to see multiple shows at the Grande. The first time the Who played Tommy. MC5 kick out the jams Mfer and many more. The Grande is where the phrase Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll came from. That would be cool I could have hung out with Hendrix and all the bands. At the Grande fans had access to the bands.
I have a minty white label promo Back in the USA LP by the MC5. It's one of my all time favorites as well, that solo on "Looking At You", such a sick record!
nice!
I think you'd love Neil Young's ditch trilogy - On The Beach, Tonight's The Night and Time Fades Away. It's his best stuff!
on the beach is a great record
Wow, the seasonal thing is right on.
You definitely came from another time, and it is awesome.
Thanks for answering my question about modern indie rock! I also love Alvvays, and went to their concert last year when they were in MPLS! More of a Antisocialites fan myself, but Blue Rev is a close second!
Abby! Your sartorial splendor is spectacular! I come here for the song scholarship, but I stay for your style! 🙂 btw thanks for boygenius/Phoebe B tips and your rec's in general, this old guy appreciates new music (at least new to me, anyway)...cheers!
You should check out Steppenwolf .That was a totally rad band in the late 60s . They had a very political vibe about the wrong doing with the injustices of the man and the war and they were totally on point with MONSTER .You cannot have complete 60s early 70s record collection without a Steppenwolf album and you have to be Born To Be Wild ..
Thanks for this peek, Abby! You're a many layered onion! I share your love of many of these things (Rothko, Layla, Whitlock vocals, The Beatles, art history, etc...) and really enjoy your fresh approach! Not many these days could, or would, put in the work that you obviously do for this series. That (69 husband, they just don't make them like that anymore) was pure gold! You're a marvelous breath of fresh air!
13k. Climbing fast. You deserve it.
Thanks Abigail for the full response to our questions. I don't think we were too nosey.
I do watch a lot of art themed stuff and gallery visits, so I'm thinking you could stir that scene up to it's advantage in another career move.
You single handedly made me pick up “Introducing The Mellons” on vinyl! Such a great album and I can’t wait to hear their next works. I also preordered The Lemon Twigs upcoming album because the singles have been great so far. These two bands are really doing “60s/70s revival” correctly, where you can really tell they know their references.
i’m so glad you sought out the mellons music! i have yet to buy any lemon twigs on vinyl (HUGE oversight, light and love is one of my all-time favorite songs)
@@abigaildevoe Oh trust me, based upon how much I love the Mellons album, I’ll definitely be glued to any recommendations you may make in your videos in the future; we seem to have very similar tastes!
I also had a question that I would have loved to ask for this video but I missed your post announcing that a Q&A was coming up, so I guess I’ll pose it here! As your channel grows, do you have any plans or ideas for other video series for any of the other days of the week? Like a [blank] Friday or [blank] Wednesday. I feel like here are many things you could still do as a separate series that’s music or vinyl related, like talking about major musical events like famous and/or infamous concerts, etc. or even branching out into a fashion history series. I’d watch ‘em all!
Not sure if John Lennon is the GREATEST singer rock/rock and roll has given us, but he's certainly one of them. Congrats Abby! Been checking out your channel for a while now and have been really enjoying it. Can only imagine how hectic it probably is to gather up all your research and info about the albums you talk about and putting it all together and editing and all, but the payoff is indeed worth it. And kudos to you for being a lady in your 20s in 2023 and having the hots for someone like Rob Tyner. We need more like you! ;) All the best. :)
If you loved Sticky Fingers, have you seen the documentary film on Muscle Shoals? It prominently features Jagger and Richards talking about their time there, recording several songs on that album. It's on CZcams.
And congrats on 10K! your videos are great and you have a great insight cheers from Birmingham Alabama
You are a Gem Abby. I love hearing a younger persons take on the music I grew up with. You have a great format for your videos and I'm glad to see your channel taking off. Your many efforts are paying off. 🍀🍀🍀🍀
17:51 I love the fact that you said that Abby, because that's exactly what I did on my channel throughout the 365 days of 2022! 😝
Also, loving the content and vibes. Discovered your channel through the Dark Side video, which was truly a masterpiece of album reviewing.
I guess I have two regret buys, that I can think of.
1. I went to a record convention about 20 or 30 years ago and spotted a guy with a 78 pressing of Audrey's, "Letter To Elvis"!! Had I been there or, at least where he found it, moments before, I'd have grabbed it!! The 45 is hard enough to come by but, I've got one...or two! Still haven't seen or found another copy of the 78!
2. When I first joined my band (Younglust, eventually becoming Thin White Line), our guitarist was a huge fan of Capt, Beefheart! So much so that everyone just called HIM, Beefheart! I heard some of their stuff (Troutmaskreplica) and hated it! UNTIL, I was told by the two lead guys in my band that they actually WRITE that stuff!! Then, the lightbulb went on and I really got into it!! Within a few months, Beef told my singer that I understand Beefhearts music better that he (Beef) does!!
Well, his copy of Troutmask was on a cassette which was very cheaply made by Warner Brothers!! There were no rollers inside the mechanism, just two curved pieces of the same plastic the mechanism was made from and they were PART of the mechanism so, they didn't move AT ALL!! Towards the end of either side of the tape, there was this annoying screech heard through the whole last quarter of each side!! This was the sound of the tape trying to be pulled across these curved bits!! Eventually, the tape, itself, snapped and Beef gave it to me to splice back together for him. I did but it was never the same again. Well, I wanted my own copy of the album so I went to the local record store and asked them to order a copy for me (this was the early `80's), they did and, a few days later, I had my own copy...on Bizarre Records!! I just figured it's some kind of re-issue and I might never get a copy on the original, Straight label. I made the mistake of playing it, one time, on a slightly bad needle. Seeing as how Beef didn't care so much (he and his GF would sometimes put naked albums on the carpet so the cats could run up and jump on them and skate across the floor on them!!), I decided to give him my copy for his b-day and went to the same store to order another copy! Well, I got another copy but it was on Warner Brothers, this time! The early `80's label!! A couple years later, Beef & I got into a major argy bargy and he wanted nothing to do with me ever again!! Another couple years later, I found out that that album is NOT supposed to exist on Bizarre!! So far, I've never seen another copy and have never seen it listed in a record pricing guide!! I've since found out that one of those is worth a good bit of money! I had one and gave it away!!
(By the way, Abby, I'm single, from the `60's and have over 62,000 records that you can listen to anytime you want! Hint, hint!!)
You do a great show, every week. You deserve the subs.
Hi....I watched the whole thing. It was ok. My favorite part is that you like turning people on to new music. Thank you.
Just subscribed. Looking forward to going through your past episodes.
thanks so much! welcome to this long strange trip
Your like me with listening to different bands during different seasons. I do that with half the bands I like. Only listen to Bowie in the winter. Stones in the summer.
Love the take on Beatles and Stones music, I totally agree. I find the Rolling Stones somewhat polarized people through their taste and music compositions, aside the fact that they were seen as 'untidy' and sometimes too harsh back in the early 60s. Personally though I find this intriguing and entertaining, so it's been great going through their albums again!
Black midi mentioned, neuron activated.
My favourite band rn
What I did after I collected stuff I already like was just pick whatever weird stuff that piqued my interest be it an interesting band name/weird album cover/title. Last thing I picked up was a harmonica instrumental from some unknown Japanese guy.
Shoutout to Alvvays, a band I just discovered last year with Blue Rev. After The Earthquake was the indie rock song of the year for me in 2022.
Now you are over 12K! The Q&A's were all great questions! Congrats on reaching such a great milestone and looking forward to the next upcoming videos. The format you are doing is perfect!
Congrats on the 10k Abee..Abbie...er Abba ..er I mean Abby
Your answer to how to start a collection was perfect👍. This Q&A was great fun and thanks for doing it!
of course! i like to help where i can. this hobby should be fun to get into, not intimidating
Can't wait for the 50k or even the 100k subscriber Q&A. It could happen!
I love your show! I hope you have (or plan to have) some old school Alice Cooper in your collection :) I collect all Bjork-related vinyl, Electric Wizard, Brume, and Tori Amos vinyl with sprinklings of other artists. Keep the shows coming!
For the next Q&A, what are your thoughts on Lou Reed. He's one of my favorite artists. He can be so compellingly brilliant but also sometimes a train wreck. His first solo album is often looked down on but I love it. Transformer, Sally Can't Dance, Berlin and Coney Island Baby are some of my favorites. Also Loaded is great and Oh! Sweet Nuthin' is on repeat in my brain.
Especially Transformer
@@clydekimsey7503 Transformer actually would be down the list for me. I prefer the first lp, Berlin, then Transformer, Coney Island Baby then Sally Can't Dance. And New York was a great comeback record.
@@paulboudreau3754 my second favorite is new sensations. You may sense a pattern. Both were probably the most commercial sounding 😁
Been a Subscriber since your Black Sabbath Master of Reality video.👍
I’m so proud to be on this journey with you! I have learned so much from vinyl Monday and have gotten some great music recs in the process.
thank you so much! glad you’ve gotten some music recs from this
I love your Beatles - spring/fall and stones - summer/winter comparison. I grew up in those days and am a big Beatles fan. I liked a lot of Stones' tunes also, but in the early days it wasn't cool to be both a Beatles fan and a Stones fan. (I know, weird as it is).
Look ma, I made it in an Abby video!
I forgot it was gonna show the user's screen post😂, and especially didn't think we get more than 1 heh heh. I finished that album without wanting to start doing chores, only one overpopular skipper
Another of the old one-hit-wonder songs that I like was "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains. That's was another Tony Burrows fronted group, like Edison Lighthouse.
Just on a personal level, I’m grateful for you answering my own question. Now I can fiddlesticking frack off.
Oh, man. Maritime disasters. I hesitate to say favorite because that is spectacularly morbid but maybe most haunting is the Edmund Fitzgerald. The Gordon Lightfoot song has added to that.
I was once on a true rust bucket of a ship with the captain pacing back and forth in the wheelhouse during a heavy storm, singing that song about the Edmond Fitzgerald, in between running to the window and screaming at the bow to "Come up!! Come up!!", every time the bow got submerged in blue water. I guess he thought he was funny or something with the singing. I held a different opinion.
Donovan-Henry Martin is an excellent maritime disaster song. Of course you have to wait until the the end to get the full story...
Check out "Rest in Pieces (April 15, 1912)" by Metal Church if you haven't (in a long time).
Congrats Abby! You have earned the 10,000. Onward to a BILLION! LOL You can do it. No pressure.
Recently subscribed because your videos are so well researched and your enthusiasm shows!
It is nice to see your discovery of music and you bringing it to your generation (and you know more than me at 43). It reminds me of going through my Dad's Vinyl collection as a teenager which I now own (my Dad is still alive and well). I listened through each album during 2020. Love to share the hobby and learning what I may need to revisit.
Just discovered you channel and really enjoy your takes on these albums I love too, I'll be glad to see more as a sub
thank you! welcome to this long strange trip. it's only gonna get weirder
That Hendrix pick is a freakin' GRREEEEEAAAAAAT pick.
Damn.
Over representing LZ in the beginning was just laying a strong foundation, not a mistake 😉
Weeee!!! Been looking forward to this one since you hit 10K (which was shortly after CZcams insisted that I watch some of your vids). Looking to see how many of mine got in there. (Not expecting all of them - you got some really good questions from everybody.🙂)
Hey Abby! Love that you paid homage to Purple Dancer/Dragonfly-two of my favorite (and most obscure) Fleetwood Mac tracks. Then Play On-the last album with Peter Green, 'n Kiln House-the first album without Peter Green-are also outstandin'. If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend the When The Levee Breaks video John Paul Jones made 'bout a year ago for Playing For Change featurin' a multitude o' musicians from 'round the world joinin' in for what proves to be a remarkable remake o' this classic track. Thanks for another great video!
Congrats for the 10K subscriber , you deserve it , I'm not surprised that you have reached these subscribers so quickly , great funny and interesting video as usual
Good stuff, I own vinyl, cds and more. Like your take on so much music I have owned for years.
God bless you
. Cioser is intense , and I can see how it can f**** you up , but I do believe that it should be recognised as one of the greatest rock albums ever made .
It took me so long to find Something/Anything and a couple people I know who like todd rundgren and collects has told me it that it was hard to find! So weird!
Been waiting on this episode ☺️! So great🤪🤘🏼! Much deserved on the 10k!!
30:54 :D thanks for answering my question, love your videos!
If you are looking for new bands I think you would like King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
I love you, Abby!😘💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks for the reviews!
great video, thumb and fit! Thanks for answering!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air and always make my day. Congrats with the 12,000+ subs 😎👍🌼✌️
Abby i want to say something your vinyl Monday videos which I enjoy watching you give me some ideas to add to my collection aka Pink Floyd dark side of the moon that I will add to my collection later & I came across your channel when I was watching a vinyl video on CZcams and started to your videos after that point so my point is Abby congrats on 10,000 subscribers here on CZcams keep the good content coming you will hit 20,000 next I believe that!!!
You are my favourite youtuber right now!!
live laugh, black midi
Great stuff because you do the research on quality albums, and then present it in an entertaining manner. Also, you are, obviously, rather intelligent.
Thank you so much for this Q & A session, Abby (glad to know the correct spelling too).
Very glad to hear that your music listening started with the grunge era. Alice In Chains would be a welcome review one day.
I appreciate you included my question(s). It was a pleasant surprise.
BTW congrats to you!!
Hi Abigail,
Love your show! If I was 40 years younger, I'd try to get a date with you!
Are you hip to Art Fein's Poker Party? There are many episodes that Art is publishing on CZcams currently. You might especially love the show with Pamela DesBarres.
Keep up the great work!!
ALABAMA!! Finally, someone says it, always seem to find myself arguing (politely) how it's the best track on the album... although Out on the Weekend, uuggghhhh, now I'm arguing with myself...
those are my two favorite songs on the record!!
metal albums from the 70s- 90s is where the money and demand is .
Since I live in Vancouver, Canada, the home of Nardwuar, I'll mention your channel the next time I see him. By the way, many of his videos are filmed at Neptoon Records. That's my favourite record store, and I've bought vinyl there for over 40 years!
If you interesting in getting more out of your music system that what about a DS-Audio LASER cartridge and associated interface box that feeds the phono inputs of your amplifier.
That was great. A few things: the book club notion/community is a good one (I love reading through the comments as well as chasing up the listening); many thanks for mentioning Wash Day (a new CZcams day-starter. Love it!) and finally a point of curiosity rather than criticism: you're the second person I've known to pronounce the Joy Division album as Clozer rather than Closser (either one works fine and the closing the door sense makes more sense but usage plus the more eerie ideas of getting closer to that music has its own appeal).
7:48 Thanks for shouting out one of my favorite albums from last year!
And while we’re at it, why not check out some more of the Windmill scene bands like
*sudden Concorde sonic boom noises*
😏😏😏
i love when people post time stamps in comments because i literally never know what they’re referring to. it’s a fun surprise for both new people in comments and me!!
a Vinyl Monday dive into Nardwuar?? i have two of his albums that i don't listen to, but he is such a uniquely amazing personality.
Oh Abbxy Rhoades. Me too. Me too. How did you first start to accumulate an audience? Askin' for a frien.
My favorite book is Mark Lewisohn's Beatles Turn On. I've read that very big book every year since it came out whilst waiting with fading hope for volume 2. We're getting old now.
My 2nd favorite book is The Real Frank Zappa Book.
I guess I should watch your dark side video.
Piece out and all my lunch.
Amadeus.
34:05 great comedic timing :D :D
That is a shame because I would love to see you review Miles Davis' Bicthes Brew. That Jazz Fusion album changed jazz history.
I would love to as well, many a 3 AMs in college were spent with it. where there's a will there's a way, i just have to figure it out
The correct answer to wind turbines vs solar panels question is nuclear energy.
Nice. Actually it would be cool to tackle "A Love Supreme" - one of my favorite pieces of music. And I don't think you have to be a musician to talk about it. There's quite a bit of back story associated with that album. I'm not sure what it would do for viewership though...
You just do your thing girl.....
“…Used to have a copy and lost it…”
= lent it to a friend and they never gave it back, probably 😂
lost it in a move actually
Hey Abigail, just wanted to say your Channel is Awesome!! You know so much about that sweet Ear of Music between 1966/1976 it's so crazy, you have such an Understanding of the Hippie Era, you like myself were Definitely born in the wrong Generation!! I heard you say in one of your Videos you Love Music that sounds like an Acid Freak out. You should check out the Band Lucifer's Friend, the song is Ride The Sky, you would love it!! Also check out May blitz , Smokin The Day Away. Mabey even Wicked Women by Coven or Salem Mass, those are some Great Bands from like 1969/1970, you might really like it. Also a lot of your Records I need in my Record Collection Pronto!!👍
Wait until Abby starts to unpack KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZZARD.
(she probably has already has, considering the multiple Tame Impala references she has made in her videos)
There’s a great used record store in Santa Barbara called Warblers.
I like Zombies Time of the Season.....in spring.
A couple of my favorite albums that you should do sometime are judee sill heart food and the black crowes Armorica
Great video!
Oooh I love Alvvays too. Can you do a vinyl Monday on one of their albums?
Any chance you'll get around to announcing birthdays and showing the crayon drawings we've been sending in?😊
i keep your crayon drawings in the place of honor on my fridge :)
@Abigail Devoe better than the bottom of a birdcage. I'll take it.
