Its 3am but we are finally home. Guess my sleep schedule has just been taken out bacl abd shot lol. So following on from Back in Black i went with: High Voltage (Australian) Highway to Hell Powerage For Those About to Rock. I had an out of order but still excellent ACDC marathon. Highly recommended.
Oh my, Fleet Foxes live at Coachella brought me to tears - literally. I guess recent stresses had me primed for catharsis, but upon hearing their music I immediately was driven to a strong, joyful release of emotion. I needed that.
Well, at least as great as Deep Purple can be. Those four and the first three always hit me way more than the classic three. In fact I enjoy the first three more than those, as well. P.S. Check out Captain Beyond if you haven't already. I'm sure you'll love it.
Thelonius my old friend Step on in and let me shake your hand So glad that you're here again For one more time Let your madness run with mine Streets still unseen we'll find somehow No time is better than now
The first three of Robert Palmer are my go-to records if I want to listen to him, an artist I've always liked, despite not going beyond the 70's with his music.
On the side, ive also been on a Maiden kick this last few weeks. A top 10 favorite artist of all time for me. Watching the 1985 Rock In Rio performance. Anyone know why the video moves up, stops, then moves back down?
One day in town. Leaving for Texas again tomorrow. Already thinking about what to play. I feel some Dead comin on but you never what youre gonna feel like playing until you go.
Not be one of those annoying "I got there first" fellas, but I've been digging the hell out of that box since 2003 (the year it was released).
Bruce Dickinson - Skunkworks I freaking love this album. Melodic and upbeat - yet still melancholy (kinda like Smashing Pumpkins) . Catchy choruses and good riffs. Its somewhere between rock and metal but not really either. Its got some really nice dreamy kind of vibes and lots of sunny day singalongs too. A pretty unique album imo. Its one i never ever get tired of hearing. It just flips every switch for me. STRONGLY recommended!
Back in 2003 I was mainly listening to hardcore rap and thrash metal while drinking, fighting and effing my life away. Youth is wasted on the young Seriously, though, I didn't think music was a race where you had to be first
Kamasi Washington on the Coachella webcast. So damn good. The band is amazing. What a privilege to watch/listen. Oh, and something not so "unGrateful" - the keyboardist had a dancing bears strap on his Moog Liberation (analog synth keytar).
Eric Burdon and the Animals, Winds of Change 1967 (disc one of 2-CD set, stereo master) Beat Goes On 2002 upc : 5017261205629 * interestingly, this double-disc reissue from BGO featuring 'Winds of Change' and 'The Twain Shall Meet' contains the stereo mix of the former and the mono mix of the latter. When Sundazed reissued the same two titles separately in 2012, they featured instead the alternate mixes of each title; mono for 'Winds of Change', and stereo for 'The Twain Shall Meet', thus giving fans who already bought the BGO set the chance to own both mixes for each title. For the BGO 'TTSM' title, the liner notes incorrectly state that only the tracks 'We Love You Lil' and 'All Is One' are in mono, when in fact all the tracks on disc two are mono.
Incendiary set by Mingus and his band (including the one and only Eric Dolphy) at the Antibes Jazz Festival, July 13, 1960.
