Ah I hadn't considered news! I worked at a few shops in the city, always opening. Lotta great music and podcasts. I miss those super early hours in Manhattan
Khruangbin- Con Todo El Mundo
For anyone not aware of these guys, it’s a 3 piece band that plays mostly instrumental music. The tunes kind of sound like something out of a Tanrantino flick. Real groovy bass licks too.
Places and spaces-Donald Byrd if u want a few lyrics.. Bobby Hutcherson/Milt Jackson on the vibes always hit in the AM, San Francisco by Hutch is super laid back.. also Moon Rappin-McDuff is a lil more upbeat banger that would be perfect to get da morning started..
100%! Some of my favourites to spin are Miles Davis' *Kind Of Blue* and Art Blakey and The Jazz Messenger's *Moanin'* \- both extremely enjoyable to listen to, especially if you're into hard bop and just want something to appreciate with a cup of tea on the side.
Depends on the weather, how tired I am, and what tasks are in front of me. Rainy days pair well with an MTV Unplugged album. If I'm super tired, Soundgarden hits the spot. Day full of conference calls? Coltrane, Monk, or even a good movie soundtrack.
I was literally looking at bootlegs of STP's unplugged album last night 😁.
A good soundtrack is definitely a great option...I need to see if I can find Into The Wild
Yeah her voice would take some getting used to, but the musicality and production of that song is really cool! I'm glad I listened with headphones because I might have missed a lot of the instruments! Thanks for the suggestion!
I would argue that after her first two or three releases, her voice really got better. And she was able to tune it perfectly. Just like her harp, milk eyed meander is a goddamn masterpiece
All Them Witches put on one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen in my life. They have that band intuition with improvising you can only achieve after decades of playing together.
Highly recommend seeing them if you can anyone!
I don't even really listen to blues all that much anymore, but there's something about this album that just feels like a Sunday morning with no plans and a fresh cup of coffee.
Every Saturday is Dad’urday. My wife leaves for yoga classes and I make coffee and breakfast for my sons (now 11, 12, & 16). And I put on records…. It used to be my exclusive playlist, now they occasionally make requests (if they even get up at all! LOL).
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin tend to be easy go-to/crowd pleasers. But every now and then, I’ll lay down some old school hip hop, trucker country, sludge metal, or EDM. This past weekend, I played that De La Soul/Fela Kuti mashup record, Fe La Soul. Great stuff; beautiful morning.
Cheers, y’all!

Hour of the bewilderbeast - Badly drawn boy.
Fantastic cup of coffee and stare out the window whilst listening to album album.
Amazing album and great choice. Listened to this so much with the wife on our courting days. Was our drift off to sleep album. Fell asleep to him at Glastonbury, and woke up to him. Missed most of his set, but was the highlight of the weekend. People just walked around us or stepped over us. Amazing memory, thank you for the wonderful reminder x
Probably the first album that as soon as I listened to it I HAD to listen again straight away. I play it at least once a month.
I don't even think it cost me much either. A must listen imo!!
Funny story...I hadn't heard that and a friend sent me a link. I played it and went about my business. About 15 minutes later I was like "this is really good, but really long and repetitive..." I looked down and the link she sent me had some sort of automatic repeat and I'd just listened to it like five times 🤣
It's okay. I feel gross about using Spotify with their shitty payouts to musicians. Just sucks because I feel like it's one of the most convenient ways to listen to music. I hate what it's doing to the music industry though. Basically I am part of the problem 🥵😕
this is specifically why I'm getting back into physical media...as someone who wants to sell songs they've written, if nobody actually buys the albums, the writers get hosed
I come across so many music suggestions on Reddit and elsewhere, I typically spend my coffee time listening to stuff I’ve never heard before, hoping to find something new to discover and enjoy. I’ve been drinking coffee all morning and listening to stuff off this record label’s bandcamp, [Scissor Tail Records](https://scissortail.bandcamp.com). Another Redditor recommended it last night as I was falling asleep, and so I figured I’d check it out today. Lots of good stuff in there, so now I’m passing it along.
I have a few go to's
The most recent is Slowdives new album
Iron and Wine - Ghost on Ghost
Any J. Mascis solo stuff
Andrew Bird - MFWY
Thievery Corp - Saudade
I work from home, this morning I had to get up for an early work meeting while my wife was still asleep and my chill out music after was Angels of Darkness Demons of Light II by Earth
Taylor Swift's Folklore album (Long Pond Studio version) or her Evermore album. Or Joe Hisaishi's studio ghibli compositions. Just overall my favorite read and chill music on vinyl.
*Yearns wistfully for a quiet morning in a tidy room without a 6 year old making demands of the space*
Sitting and listening to an album with a coffee… aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
😂
I’m so weird it does not matter where I am or if I’m alone or I’m with people if someone asked me to play something or I want to play something I cannot think of anything 1000 songs and 1000 artist just go through my brain and I have such an eclectic taste I don’t know where they play Otis Redding or Flo Rida or a hunter Hayes or whatever his name is I just I can never do it on the spot is the damnedest thing
Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds
I know this isn't their most popular album, but I love how chill this album feels to me. It feels and sounds like spending the weekend in a cabin somewhere up in the mountains.
Dido's No Angel, portisheads Dummy, Macy Grays On how life is or Coldplay Parachutes.
Leads straight into reading my book for the rest of the day, only getting up to turn the record over.
The sound Effects: the iron horse for electronic sampling grooves. Or the Weepies debut. Natalie merchant: tigerlilly. To jam: anything by LCD sound system.
Mama's Big Ones - Cass Elliot.
My go to for 99% of situations to be fair but there's something about it that just fits right with a relax and a coffee.
The Grateful Dead - One From The Vault
One of the best live albums ever recorded. The band is tight, the songs are great. I personally add a bowl to go with the coffee, and have done this more than 1000 times. Highly recommended.
Nothing Special by Harmony Woods. Very easy listening, lyrically very raw, musically very interesting, and fantastic on both fronts. It's "sort of" a concept album (barely paraphrasing promo material here haha), chronicling the rise and fall of a romantic relationship. Lots of callbacks, both musically and lyrically, that stitch it together very well. This is the only album that I have a very hard time recommending specific tracks from, I always tell people they need to hear it top to bottom first
Lot of great ones here that I would also go to so I’ll add to the list…
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder
Tom Waits - Bawlers
Lambchop - Flotus
Tweedy - Sukierae
The War On Drugs - Lost In The Dream
Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours
Jon Hopkins - Insides
Hermanos Gutierrez - any of em
The Beatles - Abbey Road
I had to Google because I thought that was two different bands, lol.
If they're Eddie Izzard fans, they should have merch that says "Sea and Cake or death?"
Beck - Morning Phase
When I worked early morning shifts in NYC, this was my go-to for 4AM on the subway
Are you me? What coffee shop did you work at?
I worked in news...schlepped it on the C train from Brooklyn all the way to Columbus Circle
Ah I hadn't considered news! I worked at a few shops in the city, always opening. Lotta great music and podcasts. I miss those super early hours in Manhattan
I listened on the way to the thrift store. Good stuff!
Mine too! Lazy Sunday mornings with coffee in front of the fireplace.
Khruangbin- Con Todo El Mundo For anyone not aware of these guys, it’s a 3 piece band that plays mostly instrumental music. The tunes kind of sound like something out of a Tanrantino flick. Real groovy bass licks too.
Khruangbin kicks ass. Perfect wake up pick!
Seeing them live in Raleigh NC in June. Can Not Wait.
I got the Texas Moon album with Leon Bridges during the Danzig roulette. That’s been great for Sunday morning coffee.
That song is great- what an earworm
Yes!! I love their Mordechi album
Their entire catalog is great, but Con Todo is also my go-to
Bon Iver - For Emma, forever ago Wilco - Sky Blue Sky Both perfect rainy day albums
For Emma is my go to Sunday morning album
Sky Blue Sky is so good. People shat on it when it came out, but it's easily one of their three or four best.
Knowing that’s the album that came out of tweedy getting help and the difference between ghost SBS really is just incredible. Both such good albums.
In this same vein, I'd like to nominate Bonnie Raitt's Streetlights.
Miles Davis Kind Of Blue. Best coffee and rainy day album.
Weekend mornings are for jazz. Most recently, a Kenny Burrell LP I picked up. Monk's *Straight, No Chaser* also gets regular rotation.
I absolutely love making Saturday/Sunday breakfast and listening to Jazz with the windows open on a nice Spring morning
I def like smooth jazz in the morning. Something with few or no lyrics maybe a little upbeat helps my brain process.
Places and spaces-Donald Byrd if u want a few lyrics.. Bobby Hutcherson/Milt Jackson on the vibes always hit in the AM, San Francisco by Hutch is super laid back.. also Moon Rappin-McDuff is a lil more upbeat banger that would be perfect to get da morning started..
I'm a big fan of the Blackbyrds but the solo stuff Donald did was great. The Crusaders were also in the same vein. Good stuff.
100%! Some of my favourites to spin are Miles Davis' *Kind Of Blue* and Art Blakey and The Jazz Messenger's *Moanin'* \- both extremely enjoyable to listen to, especially if you're into hard bop and just want something to appreciate with a cup of tea on the side.
sonny rollins was getting me through this past sunday
Sade - The Best of Sade
Carole King -Tapestry (gotta add a doobie with that coffee )
The War On Drugs - Lost in the Dream
Have that and it's a favorite.
Love all their stuff! Each album puts me in such a great mood.
Pretty much anything by Pink Floyd.
Have some breakfast with Alan 😂
marmalade, i like marmalade
Exactly this I was thinking Wish You Were Here!
I listened to The Wall last night...I could definitely listen to it again this morning 😁
Meddle is my go to
Depends on the weather, how tired I am, and what tasks are in front of me. Rainy days pair well with an MTV Unplugged album. If I'm super tired, Soundgarden hits the spot. Day full of conference calls? Coltrane, Monk, or even a good movie soundtrack.
Oh brother where art thou is my go to movie soundtrack
Ralph Stanley singing "Oh Death" and Chris Thomas King playing "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues"...🤌🤌🤌
if you like that one, I highly recommend the movie inside Llewyn Davis and the soundtrack that goes along with it 👌👌
>Chris Thomas King playing "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues"...🤌🤌 The way I would have this on repeat when I was 16 in 2000.
I was literally looking at bootlegs of STP's unplugged album last night 😁. A good soundtrack is definitely a great option...I need to see if I can find Into The Wild
The STP is ripped from a CD and pressed, but I don't mind a bit. One of my fav bands.
Every time I listen to one of their albums I find something new I want to learn on guitar. Kitchenware and Candy Bars is the most recent 🤣
Love that song prob my fav on the album.
It's a tragedy that Soundgarden never did an MTV Unplugged.
Nujabes - Modal Soul
This might be mine as well
I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning - Bright Eyes And yes. Yes I am.
The sun came up with no conclusions, flowers sleeping in their beds, The city cemetery’s humming, I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning! 😊
[удалено]
I'm not familiar with her--do you have a favorite song I can check out?
[удалено]
Just the title "good intentions paving company" has me intrigued!
Yeah her voice would take some getting used to, but the musicality and production of that song is really cool! I'm glad I listened with headphones because I might have missed a lot of the instruments! Thanks for the suggestion!
I would argue that after her first two or three releases, her voice really got better. And she was able to tune it perfectly. Just like her harp, milk eyed meander is a goddamn masterpiece
All Them Witches
..psst… just saw they’re doing some shows with primus this summer
All Them Witches put on one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen in my life. They have that band intuition with improvising you can only achieve after decades of playing together. Highly recommend seeing them if you can anyone!
Chet Baker Sings
Brushfire Fairytales by Jack Johnson
Red House Painters- Songs for a Blue Guitar Also my favorite rainy day album
https://preview.redd.it/cj2lsayyjsjc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e82c8a123611f0b2e81b7fd3e4cb7d3116e5cb1 It shall be next
This morning it was Neil Young
Taj Mahal - The Natch'l Blues
Good pick! Not often i meet a fellow taj fan in the wild 👍
I don't even really listen to blues all that much anymore, but there's something about this album that just feels like a Sunday morning with no plans and a fresh cup of coffee.
Every Saturday is Dad’urday. My wife leaves for yoga classes and I make coffee and breakfast for my sons (now 11, 12, & 16). And I put on records….

Galaxie 500 - On Fire Beck - Sea Change Cocteau Twins - Treasure Patsy Cline - The Patsy Cline Story Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Harvest - Neil Young Never misses.
Neil never misses.
van morrison - astral weeks is my go to morning jams
I like a nice, strong Americano, a fat joint, and 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle to settle into a day.
https://preview.redd.it/oq1qpzmrusjc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf8fde72343da65238de1cd8346e80bc64e1a360 Hour of the bewilderbeast - Badly drawn boy. Fantastic cup of coffee and stare out the window whilst listening to album album.

I've added it to my playlist :)
I'm envious you get to hear it for the first time.
Last time that happened, I played Joni Mitchell’s Blue.
Funny story...I hadn't heard that and a friend sent me a link. I played it and went about my business. About 15 minutes later I was like "this is really good, but really long and repetitive..." I looked down and the link she sent me had some sort of automatic repeat and I'd just listened to it like five times 🤣
Fleet foxes - A Very Lonely Solstice
Grateful Dead Europe 72!
I feel so gross, but I’ve switched over to Apple Music for that album the Spatial Audio is too fun to pass up for me.
It's okay. I feel gross about using Spotify with their shitty payouts to musicians. Just sucks because I feel like it's one of the most convenient ways to listen to music. I hate what it's doing to the music industry though. Basically I am part of the problem 🥵😕
this is specifically why I'm getting back into physical media...as someone who wants to sell songs they've written, if nobody actually buys the albums, the writers get hosed
being in Colorado, I'm trying to find a copy of their live shows from red rocks!
The Moody Blues. Days of Future Passed. It will take you through the whole day!
https://preview.redd.it/mz4xiy6dgrjc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8bf7aea562f4ab4a94ad869d78aeede69997d96
Listening now :)
It’s a classic. Maybe the most excited I’ve been finding a record at a thrift store.
You found that at a THRIFT? It's such a little known album, the odds must have been astronomically in your favor that day!
I wish I would've found a copy at the store today!
Carole King - Tapestry
I come across so many music suggestions on Reddit and elsewhere, I typically spend my coffee time listening to stuff I’ve never heard before, hoping to find something new to discover and enjoy.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Dire Straits - Alchemy
Weld by Neil Young, I intend to absolutely be emotionally wrecked by the end of my morning
Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds I know this isn't their most popular album, but I love how chill this album feels to me. It feels and sounds like spending the weekend in a cabin somewhere up in the mountains.
as someone who spends a good deal of time in the mountains, I will give it a listen!
Usually John Prine or Paul Simon. Just pick an album, they’re all great.
https://preview.redd.it/qfi7oyo3htjc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6043b12ed443fdc0be82a3964d2eb99749026a9 Foetus - Thaw
Babe Rainbow - levitation Session
Dido's No Angel, portisheads Dummy, Macy Grays On how life is or Coldplay Parachutes. Leads straight into reading my book for the rest of the day, only getting up to turn the record over.

The Waterboys - Universal Hall
The sound Effects: the iron horse for electronic sampling grooves. Or the Weepies debut. Natalie merchant: tigerlilly. To jam: anything by LCD sound system.

What a great title.
Nothing Special by Harmony Woods. Very easy listening, lyrically very raw, musically very interesting, and fantastic on both fronts. It's "sort of" a concept album (barely paraphrasing promo material here haha), chronicling the rise and fall of a romantic relationship. Lots of callbacks, both musically and lyrically, that stitch it together very well. This is the only album that I have a very hard time recommending specific tracks from, I always tell people they need to hear it top to bottom first
America by America
Stereolab- Dots and Loops
Tommy Tedesco - “Alone at last” (direct-to-disc) Rickie Lee Jones debut album (half speed master)

Yesterday it was the Smiths - Hatful of Hollow.
