THROWBACK THURSDAY 1968. Born on this day in 1938 was the one and only Etta James. Here are six records from 1968, in many ways a transitional year. The Beatles’ White Album definitely reflected this change. #ettajames #thedoors #thebeatles #motherearth #milesdavis #thebyrds #dailyplaylist #vinylcollection #nowspinning #1968inmusic

Tonight’s listening includes Kindness For Weakness from Homeboy Sandman. An artist I’ve liked but not fully invested time in, I feel like now‘ so good time to binge. Word on the street is, this is one of his best. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #igvinylclub #catsofinstagram #catsandvinyl #homeboysandman #kindnessforweakness #nowspinning

KEEF AND HIS MODNESS. Van might have been “The Man”, but was definitely “THE MOD” Accept no substitutes. If this picture does indeed tell a story, it’s one of an outdoor kitten wishing he could be exploring the neighborhood, rather than being made to pose for this photo. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #igvinylclub #catsofinstagram #catsandvinyl #rodstewart #everypicturetellsastory #nowspinning

Happy 47th birthday to Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. For years now, The Roots have been one of the best groups going, building up an impressive catalogue. Released in 2010, I consider How I Got Over, to be their best. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #igvinylclub #catsofinstagram #catsandvinyl #theroots #howigotover #nowspinning
