    It doesn’t matter which order you put them in, they’re all rubbish.

    @Jim Walker: Thanks for your contributions and I'll add my condolences as well. Peace on yer.

    See now, this is why dissension is good. Notwithstanding a bloody great pillock being the dissenter. :nyah:

    But seriously, this thread means nothing if we can't responsibly object. We've pulled it off. Other threads involve virtual decapitations and allsorts. Woof. Have a scrot.

    A majestic, underrated, undisputed lost classic — Gene Clark’s No Other.

    And I’d like
    To make it right” . . .

    My favourite Atlantic Prine. They’re all great, though.

    Take it back

    Oh no, you can’t say that

    Just back from collecting a load of logs on a foggy icy morning. Come in for a cup of tea and a warm before unloading, sawing, splitting and stacking (probably not all today). Mentally warming with some gentle desert blues: Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder- Talking Timbuktu. Lovely

    The Who Essential - “essential” is not the right descriptor for this recently released 3-CD compilation but there was a thread talking about it and it only cost $7 so why not. Two studio discs, one live. Anyway enjoying some Who to start the day.

    Bobby Bland “Tell Mr Bland”.

    Had great tickets to see Mr Bland at the London Blues Festival around the time this came out. Turned up at the (then) Hammersmith Odeon, but doorman said he couldn’t let us in. Asked why, he replied “These tickets were for last night”
    Oops

    That must be the only Who compilation that included "Armenia City in the Sky". I love that song.

    A 18' del sol. Luis Alberto Spinetta, 1977.

    One of my favorite albums ever featuring one of my favorite covers.

    An instrumental from the album:

    Part of the Nomad Series, The Cowboy Junkies cut a tribute studio lp to Vic Chestnut
    in 2011, sure to be considered another in a long line of classics. Margo Timmons sings
    it with a new range of emotions on Demons, the band soars, and more keyboards than
    usual. Chestnut had previously given a hand on the Junkie's twentieth anniversary edition
    of The Trinity Sessions. Betty Lonely is simply devastating blues, that only the CJ's could
    carry with it's heavenly heartbreaking aura...

    A lazy afternoon following an active morning and a lovely lunch (thank you dear).
    First Demonauta “part2:Temaukel The Spirit Before Time”. A lot heavier than my usual fare, but enjoyed the fuzz drenched guitars

    Followed by Kroke “Ten Pieces to Save the World”. The word jaunty springs to mind

    Jazz is is typically a late-night/early-a.m. spin for me, but for whatever reason, I played Ellington's Money Jungle on a bright, squinty, Sunday morning. Symbiosis and a walk in the park.

    T-Bone Burnett has always been a favorite musician of mine. He's known more for his
    status as a producer than the records he made. He blew me away nearly 40 years ago
    with Truth Decay, and in my mind's eye became the ENO figurehead of americana in
    2006 with the strange, dogmatic (as usual), apocalyptic True False Identity. There's
    quite a lot going on, and T-Bone must have been buzzing in the studio twisting, tweaking
    knobs, pans, s/fx and everything else you can throw into a recording, leading ultimately
    for me, to taking a little bit of time to warm up to it: edgy, dissonant, cold, warm, tempo
    oddities, trinket sound collages, weird, chilling lyrics. It reminded me a little of something
    David Baerwald would record--Triage being a good example. Listen at your own risk if
    you've not dipped in, it is not like most of his catalog, but it is worthwhile.


    When all the ladies Heard that he was dead
    Some wore orange dresses And some wore red

    When all the ladies Heard that he had died
    He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side

    The Doors were not what I would call a singles band, since all of these sides are found in their albums.
    Listening to disc 1.

    Gee, I didn't remember the mastering of this release was so good! Could this have been the first time I listened to it? I was buying so many cd's back in 2017 that I might have opened it and never actually played it :laugh:

    Listening to this on repeat, for some reason:



    They're lighting bonfires in the distance
    You know know some things in life will never change
    But please don't say there was no warning
    Just hold on tight, it's Crystal Night again.

    Allways thought it was a Milestone in modern music.
    I think so, now, too.
    Otherwise I would not listen to it anymore... but I do..
    Now playing....
    Thank you, Sting!

    This album is mainly a chilhood memory for me. Last week I streamed the first two songs and I could almost feel the smell of the vinyl jacket.

    Watching the movie Grease with my wife and son. Son is contemplating being in a musical at school. Listening to Frankie Avalon's "Beauty School Dropout" number, it occurs to me that Frank Zappa could have written this song and recorded it on Cruising with Ruben and the Jets.

    Well at least you could have taken time
    To wash and clean your clothes up
    After spending all that dough
    To have the doctor fix your nose up
