two of the great ones. I found Beggar's early and found Lubbock late. Both fantastic. Beggar's is and will always be my favorite Rolling Stones record. and i'm ready to argue with you all Terry Allen is and great Texan. It comes out in every song on this record.
DOCTORS OF MADNESS Late Night Movies, All Night Brainstorms First listen. It sounds like a pub-rock band, complete with an electric violinist, listened to nothing but David Bowie albums for three months, and then wrote and recorded an album. Pretty cool if you’re in to that kind of thing. From the post-glam/pre-punk era of UK music known as 1976.
So, I'm really trying to give Curved Air a shot. I like some of it and there's no question that they were technically a very good band, but I can't seem to make my mind up. I've perused a good number of viddies on the 'tube and this may be my favorite, which cements them as prog (even bombastic prog based on the Vivaldi bit), if only off and on. Sometimes they are more cheesy poppy/pseudo-prog and that's very off-putting to me even if I do like some other pop.
Stanley Turrentine’s Comin’ Your Way — recorded January 20, 1961 but left unreleased until 1987, and then given the Blue Note Tone Poet treatment last year. Great stuff . . . 1961/1987/2020 Blue Note – ST-84065 Blue Note Tone Poet Series – KPG&JH@CA
The mighty King Gizzard recorded live at The Independent, San Francisco on May 25, 2016 during their Nonagon Infinity tour — breathlessly frenetic and chaotic psych-rock ‘n’ roll! “Nonagon infinity opens the door” . . . 2016/2020 Flightless – FLT-070 Limited Edition 2000 copies worldwide Red with Black wings and White splatter (Panhandle Limited Edition)
My cover is supposed to be glow in the dark, too. Yours looks cool, I don’t remember seeing that one. Ah, I see it’s the U.S. pressing. There’s so many variants of Gizz pressings, it’s almost impossible to keep up!
1974... Metheny is emerging. He becomes more and more important, good, unpredictably capable. Jacko Pastorius gives him a hand, here ... AND WHAT A HAND! Bob Mosems at drums completes the trio. Beautiful melodies, beautiful pieces. This album, even though it already has a few decades on its back, is still fresh ... It's an ECM ... pretty well registered.
Planet Earth Rock 'n Roll Orchestra 1970-71, Wally Heider Recording Studios I heard this for the first time over the summer on RFAD. I never knew it existed prior to that. Just downloaded a nice copy and it sounds so good this morning. From what I was reading last night, a lot of great music came out of these sessions.
A Wizard, a True Star. Todd Rundgren, 1973. Gorgeous Japanese mini-LP. The mastering? Oh, it's quite bad, but since it's the only edition I have, I try to focus exclusively on the music, which is quite good. Not particularly a hi-fi album, anyway.
Louis Armstrong The Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings So good. Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five – The Syncopated Times
