Hey man, did the blue on your Sgt. Pepper lava lamp fade away really quickly? Mine sure did, and it looks like yours has as well.
In my opinion, the best Deep Purple album from the 1967-1976 period. Eclectic, somewhat experimental, and loaded with deep cuts.
im a big fan of the first three records, so i'm a little biased. But This Desert Life and Wish I Was A Girl are two of the finest songs ever recorded. These guys turned into old men with no real direction but in the 90's they were as good as a band could be.
The Pompeii set from the box set. I hate the mastering, but I simply adore the performances. Ain't it disgusting when that happens?
R.A.'s Gold! Great album!!! It's packed with rockie goodness. I went to Radiohead with Crispy Rob on Tues., who scored me a face value ticket because Mrs. Crispy could not make it. I drank 64 oz. of Torpedo IPA. It is aptly named because it blew a hole into the side of my Wed. work day, and I was taking on water throughout. Anyway, great show.
I never took much of a shine to them, but my old housemate grew up in Berkeley and used to go to parties with pre-fame Adam Duritz and was good friends with the actual Mr. Jones that the song was based on; I never met Duritz but I believe "Mr Jones" was at a couple of our annual Halloween parties back in the day.
Great Radiohead show Tuesday night at the Greek Theater of Grateful Dead '81 through '89 fame (hey, and also '68, the only officially released show there), and good hang with wavethatflag, who I am probably a bad influence on. Not too much of a chance to listen to recorded music since then, as last night was taken up by elementary school music and art night and the Dubs playoff game, although I managed to fit in a post-bb listen to Disc 4 of Phish St. Louis '93. First listen to Spiral Stairs' new Doris & The Daggers album tonight, good to very good so far, with some very overt '80s Bowie influences, in a good way. Planning to go see him in SF tomorrow night, so wanted to make sure I got at least semi-familiar with his new album first.
Blonde on Blonde's been my company in the car for a few weeks. Still as strong a record as ever. Dylan's 1966 singing(both live and in the studio) is to me, the most iconic there ever was. Take that, Beatles forum nerds
Brian Eno's debut album, featuring some of his friends: John Wetton, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay, Robert Fripp. Not bad for a non-musician, huh?
