PERSONAL DISCOVERY: #1 Timmy Thomas

To my mind, the best thing about selling records is having an endless supply of new music to discover and share. Since starting the Vinyl Records Inc, the collection of records I have at my fingertips has increased tenfold – jealous much? Just kidding. Through countless hours spent grading, pricing and otherwise digging through piles of records, I’ve made quite a few new discoveries. While I certainly don’t have time to account for all of those discoveries, I want to share some highlights so that you can enjoy them, too! Note: Most of these artists are currently available on the store, so go take a look!

Minimalist funk? Rudimentary drum machine beats matched with keyboard swells and punchy lead riffs (also keys)? Timmy is a new obsession of mine. So many bedroom R&B musicians may not even be aware of the path Timmy Thomas blazed. Somewhere between synth heavy punk trailblazers Suicide and Suggie Otis.
