The Vinyl Nomad | Chapter 07-08: London
Took the early Eurostar train from Amsterdam to London. I’ve grown to love long train rides—they give me time to think, update my journal, and focus on essential computer work for the Vinyl Nomad tour.
Colleen Murphy – London UK
Introducing London-based collector Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy: the woman behind the Classic Album Sundays, a self-proclaimed "audio diva," a mom, and a lover of cosmic-disco.
Ollie Teeba – (Soundsci / The Herbaliser) – London, UK
Sometime in the 1990s, I walked into Jack's Records in Red Bank, NJ and bought Blow Your Headphones by The Herbaliser without even hearing it. I had been turned on previously to them from some other music lover that passed it on to me. I dug it. Their brand of funk, soul, and jazz filled with samples and superbly crafted hip-hop beats had me nodding my head before, so I was sure they wouldn't let me down this time. They didn't.
Kevin Foakes (Strictly Kev / DJ Food) – London, UK
As a young photographer shooting and devouring music in the underground clubs of Tel Aviv in the late ’90s and early 2000s, I became acquainted with the DJ Food record Kaleidoscope. I listened enraptured to its jazzy, sophisticated sounds, particularly the track “The Aging Young Rebel.” I didn’t know whose deep voice was captivating me so much, but it stuck with me.
