Wilco 2009 The Whole Love 2011 Ode to Joy 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CATS - Let it Wander 2018
That's super cool about your 5yo (!) , reminds me of my son when he was that age, really getting into "Dad-Rock"! Speaking of Roy Buchanan, I recently found this old PBS docu about Roy that was allegedly made back in '71 but not aired until June 26th, 1974 on WNET in New York. I haven't listened all the way through it yet, but the first voice we hear is that of Jerry Garcia, and the video reel looks ancient! I'll probably take up where I left off with it sometime later today. Introducing Roy Buchanan
He’s a really cool kid. I had 3/19/90 on the other day in the car. During the Eyes jam I look back and he’s got his eyes closed, hands in a yoga/meditation pose, and just grooving. That was a proud Dad moment for me!
Awesome collection of top drawing LA bands circa 1979 Rhino Records RNLP 017 (1980) The Pop: Down On The Boulevard The Twisters: Where Were You When I Needed You The Nu Kats: It's Not A Rumor The Naughty Sweeties: Rendezvous Bakersfield Boogie Boys: I Get Around The Weirdos: Helium Bar Quiet Riot: Slick Black Cadillac The Runaways: Take Over Sumner: Ain't Up To Me and more
I wasn't expecting Wilco's Being There to be that good, but it's really excellent. I've just listened to it for the second time and I'm delighted. I'm going to avoid heretical comparisons with legendary double albums because I don't wanna be stoned to death. I guess I'll be joining the legion of Wilco fans pretty son.
I am, in fact, the prettiest son of Wilco fans. You've got so many albums to discover with Wilco, and you can go even further back and familiarize yourself with the Uncle Tupelo material. According to Tweedy's biography, Uncle Tupelo was conceived as an Elvis-type that never became famous. I went to the Who last night and met @ThirdBowl! We watched the Liam Gallagher set over a beer and then headed off to our respective seats. It was a good show. Sort of weird that the highlight for me was Pete doing "Eminence Front." I also really enjoyed the opening Tommy sequence.
Good that he’s getting that in his brain now, cuz when he’s 14 he’ll go through a phase of listening to only industrial death-metal hip-hop and hating on anything his parents like. However, sometime in his 20s he’ll hear an Eyes of the World somewhere and his grey matter will lock into those wonderful aural memories implanted by his dad’s great music and he’ll “come back home”.
Just like the Prodigal Son, when he was far from home, He wanted to go back, and tell his father he had done wrong...
I don’t know. 8-10 songs? He was pretty good though. I expected him to suck because I’m not into Oasis, but I thought he did a good job.
Man, that's great hearing and seeing Roy talk, reflect, interact with family and fellow musicians in this docu-film that has all the look of an old home movie. Hard to think of his sad ending in a jail cell of alleged suicide (I have my own doubts about this) just one week after a performance, after seeing this film though.
Yes 2003 Rhino CD reissue I’m not really a t-shirt wearing kind of guy the days, but I’d definitely rock this: Perhaps my favorite Yes album. I’ve always considered The Yes Album my favorite, but sometimes I feel it’s the debut. I’m much more into the jazzy psych pop of their early stuff than the “flying in space fighting alien snakes” prog vibe of their mid-70s stuff.
I have a crazy amount of rock t-shirts. I'm working from home today and sporting the JGB "Electric On The Eel" t-shirt.
My favorite Yes album is not a very original choice: Close To The Edge. Their debut album is an overlooked gem. I love all of their records up to Relayer.
Drama from 1980 is pretty good too. There’s no Jon Anderson on it, which is a problem for many, but IMO it was their strongest since Relayer.
