Music... I Listened to Some

Some good submissions tonight. The above one, plus some posts in the snow sports thread brought this one front and center. Maybe my favorite song in the playlist for Spring snowboarding in the Sierras.

 

This thread often brings on a binge of a particular artist or time period. I've enjoyed a high dose of The Cult since last night, and was reminded how much I like this record.

 

For your viewing pleasure.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks!

 

From a small High Desert band that I used to follow. These guys were waaay out there but they had some fun party tunes.

 

You guys are firing! TFPU!


I can't resist a little more of that Richie Havens magic. Groove Armada magic. Tune in and turn on...

 

Another one that got away. In the context of their time (15ish years ago), they were the unlikely recipient of a major label deal, big recording and promotion budgets, great touring slots, and they had a kick ass live show. Yet, they went nowhere. A Black Crowes AC/DC love child.

 

Wallowed in history this weekend as PBS had a geriatric special with doo wop (The Aquatones), ballads (The Drifters) and rock (The Outsiders). Now a little more contemporary music with Annie Lennox (Whiter Shade of Pale). Don't know how to pull up songs (Aren't you lucky?).

 

File under “Music, I sold some...”

My wife asked me go through my records and weed out what I don’t like.

So, I started selling them online. Record nerds will pay some crazy prices for this stuff!
I’ve sold $3.00 records for $30 and $8.00 LPs for about the same.
Of course, I’m keeping all of the best stuff

 

Somehow my AR turntable was lost. Need to procure another good one so I can re-explore the late 60'2 with Doors, Hendrix, Stones, etc. Also have two bootleg albums, Stones and Dylan, that I thought would be valuable by now, but aren't.

 

Did you digitize and store before selling them?

 

I lost over 300 classic rock albums from the 60s and 70s due to a garage fire.
Melted vinyl soup.

And for making that money
One of my all-time favs

 

Saw BTO in Long Beach a "few" years ago. Great band.

 

No, most of it is stuff I don't and never listened to that I'd acquired in bulk from other people's collections. A lot of OC and midwest punk from the 90's. A lot of HC Straight edge stuff and some metal.

I learned to love BTO getting to an early morning class on campus at UCSC. For some reason the classic rock station always played a BTO song around 7AM on the bus, those tunes with the beautiful hillsides and the sun coming through the trees was f'n spiritual.

 

I know this came out a few years back....but it seems as though it's getting a lot of play out the web...

It's a helluva cover.....even better live from Conan:



Official video....but not as good as the live version above....




And because I know some of you might prefer the original.....

 

It's okay to cry.

 

Bass (lead; can't remember) player rides well too. I encountered him riding up a difficult trail in Santiago Oaks years ago when it was a sandy arduous undertaking (too difficult for me).

 

Normally, I wouldn’t comment on something like this out of respect for our beloved creator in chief.
But, when a candidate chooses to steal creative property over the values and wishes of the artist, it warrants being called-out.

Uggghh. Spinning in his grave, no doubt.

 

They ought to just play David Allen Coe songs.

 

Hay, I can do anything I want with that music. I paid for it!

 

I can’t afford a Raymond pettibon piece but I did get my hands on a signed John Yates print!

Fans of Dead Kennedys and Alternative Tenticles records might recognize his work.

 

Tomorrow, Wed 24th 7:00 PM, Travis Larson Band, : www.facebook.com/thetravislarsonband

If you like power trio prog rock, with a pretty lady bass player, 'home-grown' in SLO...this is the show! These folks tour with The Aristocrats, some other obscure prog rock power trio I heard about.

 

50 year old protest song

 

That and this...

 

Neil is in that band too.
Put them all together and you get CSNY



Chilao brings out the melancholy

 

Thanks for the nuggets, riders.

Happy Independence Day observed! Go, USA!

 

Buffalo Springfield, IMO the best band that didn't stay together long enough. Also, saw Springsteen sing "Born" at the (maybe) Pacific Amphitheater 100 years ago - rousing to say the least. Thanks for the reminders. Need to procure a turntable and get the "Buffalo" on tap again.

 

Going down slow with Omar and Jimmy Tejas style
