I started to like Sticky Fingers last year (for years, I only enjoyed "Wild Horses"). It took a long time, but finally I can understand the love for this album many of you profess. Who knows, I might even end liking Exile On Main St. one of these days!
love this one. Old Laughing Lady through Stringman are just crushers. I'm back and forth with this version of Like a Hurricane. still not sure.... but then the rest of the record is back to the business of being top notch.
Only CD's for me, so no zipper (well, there is a Japanese mini-LP edition, but I ain't gonna get it), but a great great record, yes.
The lyric sheet of the '99 edition says "cannon": I must say, though, that I have found it written both ways on the internet. Personally, I would prefer it to be "canon", since it enhances the obscurity of the verse.
Interesting. I always assumed it was "canon," which to me makes sense--Bowie is placing himself in an artistic tradition and boldly laying claim to it--whereas "cannon" makes none.
I like it a lot. But it's certainly weaker than the albums that came before. I think it's fair to say that Keith's lifestyle really took a toll at this time and the Stones lost much of their musical motor
Outside with a glass of chenin blanc. The sun is still shining and it's almost 20.30. It doesn't get dark until after 2200 hours. This is the reward for living in darkness and freezing cold for much of the year
I liked it. It's perhaps the Stones album with the least Richards involvement. In fact, he played only bass guitar on many numbers (thus, Bill Wyman was not very involved either). I enjoyed some deep cuts like "100 Years Ago", "Winter" and "Can You Hear The Music". I should give it a more critical listen soon.
Bill got tired of waiting around. That's why Richards, Taylor and Wood have so many bass credits Winter is a very nice song. Jagger is playing the rhythm guitar and of course Taylor is taking the lead. Love Jagger's vocals. Apperently he had a cold which sounds fitting with the theme. Could also be from a cocaine binge... maybe
I always suggest listening to Exile as four different sides. You'll have to use your imagination for a CD, but that's the best way to makes sense of the sprawl. Exile is basically Physical Graffiti's older brother.
The Velvet Underground - Loaded Half moon. Sun has been setting for a while, still plenty of light outside. 18C. Just lovely
This is all very nostalgic, as I was meeting a lot of new people around the time period these came out, and sharing the music with them. And a fabulous time it was. What became of a lot of these folks so many years ago is as mysterious as the music, which in a few short words, has lost not a note nor a breath of its magic.
Gawdamnit. I am a *sucker* for an interesting album cover. So I looked this one up. Gawdamnit. Another band's catalog I have to add to my collection! (I didn't really realize this before, but there are videos attached to a lot of discogs entries, so makes it easier to explore a band.) I will add one myself, and I actually got into this band a long time ago based on this album cover:
This picture really happened. This is the show with Trey in the second set. edit: I must be a massive Head because I just found the Bobby-Phil "Deep Elem Blues" way too entertaining.
Side deux of the pink one of these: Followed by 1st listen of disk 1 from the new pulse. Vinyl looks pretty.
Yeah, I’d never heard of them either but when I saw that LP cover in the used bin I was intrigued and threw it on the table in the shop for a listen; I knew right away I’d give that forsaken puppy a happy home. I’ve never heard Cheer-Accident but I’m diggin the tune you embedded, brings Stereolab a little to mind. I’ll have to check out some more of their stuff.
