having a latin lunch with this @davidbyrneofficial #tapecassette . . not sure what the inspiration for this album was but it is very #cumbia #rumba #mambo and #samba heavy. the songs are also very good. it's got byrnes classic vocal stylings and witticisms all over it and today feels like a really happy precursor to @beirutband which I may be on the hifi next. . . . . #tapecassettes #cassetteculture #cassettetapes #cratediggers #cratedigging #davidbyrne #reimomo #kirstymccoll #luakabop #sirerecords #williecolon #celiacruz #albumoftheday #oqfrecords
digging this book by #jonathandrori . . it's a look at the trees of the world, about two pages on each species. it details their cultural significance, their history and a bit of science too. definitely recommended for that ten minute slot before bed. and the illustrations by @lucille_clerc are incredible. thanks to @mpahark for the gift . . check out our other recommendations at #oqfreads . . . . #trees #treesofinstagram #treebooks #oqftrees #naturenow #actnow #aroundtheworldin80trees #laurencekingpublishing #lucilleclerc #biophilia #lovenature
more crunch from the #cassettetape collection . . this one is all about the linn drum and prince just generally being a badass. listened to 'starfish and coffee' on repeat for a few days when he died. this album goes everywhere, jazz, funk, soul, electro etc. its great on tape or any other way you can get it in your dome! . . . . #prince #theartistformerlyknownasprince #signothetimes #cassetteculture #cassettecollection #cassettecollector #linndrum #drummachine
just picked up #losingeden by @lucyfjones at @thebookhive... . . i was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of some early chapters and I've been dying to get into the finished article ever since. if you are interested in nature, mental health and how to not lose your mind in the urban jungle then this one is for you. it also takes a refreshingly personal approach to the subject matter. pictured on the shelf at #thebookhivenorwich next to one of our favourite reads of last year #losingearth . . . . #nature #biophilia #lovenature #lucyjones #penguinbooks #allenlanebooks #oqfreads #climatechange #actnow #naturenow
sounds worse and better on #cassettetapes . . this era of @pj_harvey works particularly well on tape because that's what we were all listening on. would have taped it off the radio though so it's good to have the legit copy now. sorry for the piracy polly. . . #cassetteculture #walkman #tapecollection #tapecollector #pjharvey #pollyjeanharvey #ridofme #hairstyles #90smusic #bathtime
digging out the #cassettetape collection... . . and this grizzly #tomwaits album lends itself to the #tapehiss . . it's from the 90s and at this point the tin can experimental production and the blues balladry have got to know each other really well! guest appearances from #lesclaypool and #keithrichards and generally the perfect mix of sandpaper and sentimentality. . . favourite track: dirt in the ground . . check out our other recommendations at #oqfrecords . . . . #tape #tapecollection #cratedigging #cratediggers #cassette #cassetteculture #bonemachine #whentheearthdiedscreaming #blues #experimentalmusic #storytelling #dustbowl #gospel #gospelmusic
