Miles Davies Quintet. Bootleg series vol.5. Davies sounds like he's lived a couple of life times already. The sessions reels are so and so, I get bored after a while but the master takes are just fine. Before that, The Black Angels - Death song. Their new record Austin psychedelic drone rock
BassDrumBone: The Long Road Mark Helias: double bass Gerry Hemingway: drums Ray Anderson: trombone Released as a celebration of 40 years as a band 2 CD set recorded August 9th & 10th, 2016 with Joe Lovano and Jason Moran guesting on tenor saxophone & piano on three tracks each. Last 2 tracks on disc 2 were recorded live on March 11th, 2013 in Switzerland Just digging in - seems a bit straight for Mark, Gerry & Ray. Let's see - second disc might tell the tale. Getting better as I move forward. Go see them live if you can. Spectacular. Don't be fooled by thinking they need another horn. First recording with additional musicians.
I was able to control myself in the wake of your Ghost comment. It was the later "downfall" comment that set me off. But I did the same to you with my PJ comments, so karma I guess. On shuffle just heard Peter Gabriel cover Ain't That Peculiar from a radio broadcast of his first American solo tour. Bought it at Powell St. Rasputin Records, RIP. Forgive them Father, they know not what they've done.
I don't think I said anything terrible about Ghost is Born other than it doesn't do anything for me or I wasn't "feelin" it. That is the truth. Maybe I was not in the mood or haven't given it enough plays yet, but I stand by that assessment right now.
I made the downfall comment. And i also stand by that description. I can't say Ghost or any Wilco record after is a bad record but IMO Being There, Summerteeth and YHF were so great(i scribbled 'monumental' in sharpie on being there's cover when i force a friend to borrow it) anything after not as great would seem like a step down. Downfall wasn't the best term to use. with that, i've got to hear sunken treasure.
How long ago did you pick it up? I may have overstated my initial reaction to it by conflating that with how I think about it now. But it was only a matter of days before I decided it was great. I had it in my car CD player for a long time when it came out.

Early morning working over time, listening to Decade Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning and you find out that those other days are gone? Open up the tired eyes Open up the tired eyes
Black Sabbath live Paris 1970. I feel that many of todays rock bands lacks a good rhythm section. The older bands had been playing live for years before they'd made it. Jazz, RnB, Blues etc. They could play! While younger bands have been educated mostly by 60/70/80s rock n roll and punk
