i recognize the skull but can't place it. and the one below it looks like something out of 2001, but not sure

LOLOL close encounters of every kind

oops not close i guess

Wow, Madlib is more disorganized than me! Take heart, record slobs!

Sorry for being a dong but those are Serato Scratch discs in the Badu pic.

And unless Bjork owns that shop, those records are not hers (yet).

I mentioned this when I posted it on facebook, but obviously not here: check out the Cluster record about to fall on Debbie Harry's head. TUT TUT.

It wasn't on Brain records for nothing.

Just noticed "Cluster II" on the wall behind them! Cool!

Dunno about "famous" but this thread always makes me think of this picture of Mark Perry...

this is Ringo's house apparently. Love the idea of being in this super modern environment and jamming to the space age sounds of JJ Cale

and Leon Russel poking out there too! He must have loved the Tulsa Sound (/hometown pride)

that purple couch is amazing

I keep thinking that the record will remain motionless while the the tone arm etc. spins around

What's that album at the bottom of the pic?

it's this

http://www.connollyco.com/discography/cream/best_hi.jpg

oops, wrong code ... it's been awhile

http://www.connollyco.com/discography/cream/best_hi.jpg

marc liked greatest hits collections, it seems

so weird

Well spotted!

Not seen that album cover before, it's really quite a strange one. Anyone have an explanation for it?

Maybe one of the band painted it? A la "Barrett"? Was Clapton at art school?

is not a illustration of things that you can cream, eg cream of tomato soup?

Internet tells me it was by Jim Dine, and I assume that's the Jim Dine

*shudders at the thought of cream of cucumber soup*

his record collection has got to be like 10,000+ no?

Some of Haruki Murakami's record collection...

http://www.harukimurakami.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/8_IMG_0063-800x600.jpg

There are about 10,000 vinyl records; I haven’t counted the CDs. These records here are mostly jazz. I almost always work listening to music.

size of those speakers!

lots of nice black & orange impulse spines in there

a+ crib

wonder how many times he's kicked back on the sofa and smashed his head on the desk

This was in the NYT recently on an article about his wife's art, but here is Will Oldham at home in Louisville:

is he... is he playing vinyl??

i almost feel like vinyl's recent spike in value would make DJs think twice before taking their records out. most recent nights out with a DJ I (a 48yo who rarely goes out anywhere with a DJ anymore) have experienced have involved CDs or hard-drives or even streaming from iphone.

(20 years ago I'd be slogging bags full of vinyl all over London on night-buses after DJing gigs cursing my sentimentality for the format meaning I had to slog bags full of vinyl all over London on night-buses after DJing gigs, rather than DJing off CDRs like the other DJs I knew)

there's a club night on London, Scared to Dance, that regularly gets younger comedians to dj. rose matefao, sophie dukah, ivo, elis james and, er, nish kumar have all djed in the last few months

some terrible spellings of names there, sorry

lolly adefope and pat nevin too
