What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Finnforest wrote: Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow

I heard a song from it on the radio yesterday, I totally forgot how great it is. I'll have to remember to give it a listen next week.

Here's a weird admission...I've been a longtime CCR fan but I've never actually listened to Cosmo's Factory in its entirety. I'm not even sure if I've ever heard "Ramble Tamble" believe it or not! I own Green River, Willie and the Poorboys and Bayou Country on vinyl, and have listened to various compilations through the years. I'm sure I'm missing out concerning Cosmo's, and the songs I've heard from the debut seem swampy and cool like "Walking on the Water".

Guldbamsen wrote: Well shiver me timbers! It boggles the prague mind that two men with such impeccable music tastes have never heard Creedence most proggy tune...or maybe that is just the extended coda talking...but man that thing is goosebumps inducing! The song really reminds me of Free's Mr Big although Free does provide further technical prowess to the instrumental coda...but there is a bond there I feel. I mostly play albums from start to finish...but I have thing for these two tracks in succession.

Ramble Tamble was such a favorite of mine I actually burned out on it several years ago. I bet enough time has passed where I can safely hear it again. I had it on a mix CD I used to play all the time, mainly songs from my vinyl collection I really liked but didn’t have digitally.

Today featured these albums:

Roger Taylor | Strange Frontier
Procol Harum | Broken Barricades
This Kind of Punishment | A Beard of Bees
Amen Dunes | Love
Jandek | Brooklyn Wednesday
James Ferraro | NYC Hell 3 AM

Roger Taylor is from Queen of course. My interest in Queen stuff has been awakened a bit by the movie. Though my daughter has been a Queen fan for several years so they were still in regular rotation. But I hadn’t heard this Roger solo album in decades. I was a Roger Taylor fanboy in high school. I made tapes consisting only of the songs he wrote for Queen, and I bought and dug his solo works. I remembered this one being a bit synth-heavy and didn’t like it as much as Fun in Space, but it sounded really damn good today - the way music today seems to have a retro -80s love, this album almost sounds timely now. Almost. I don’t wanna build it up too high. It’s a good album. Good.

today. 

I still don't know how to multiquote so bear with me you guys.
How cool it is that you heard Ramble Tamble for the first time Dave?!? Nice one. Yeah that middlesection is really something. We're not talking virtuoso musical ballet but dammit that is wholly beside the point. The feel of this thing is unmatched by many an artist who musically most likely can run hoops around Creedence.
Og well I am more of a balls-out, raw potatoes kind of guy over suave custardy technique.

Scum was one of those albums that made my mother afraid of where exactly I was going...
She did come to terms with it and me when she found out how much fun I had while playing it. Hell I could even have sung her a tune off of it: HRRRRRRRRRRIOOURRRRRHHGGGGGGG!!
There

Jim thanks for asking. It is very painful at the moment but only because something in my left lower back 'let go' last night. This morning it feels as of someone used all week stomping on my upper left derriere in a pair of wooden clogs. Sore is an understatement. Every time something like this happens though my mind jumps up and down in excitement because it thinks it's all done and over with. Nowadays, after some 20 previous episodes, I am taking it slooooooowly and not expecting ANYTHING!
I did step on a headphone here the other day but realised what I was doing whilst actually doing it, so I naturally did this beautiful almost ballet like gesture which similarly could've looked like a drunk stork stepping on lava.
Nahh how did it happen? I fell asleep sitting up whilst resting my torso on my left elbow. I woke up to the distinct sound of a tree branch cracking.

Yesterday:
Walrus - s/t
Embryo - Stieg Aus
Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman
Miles Davis - Agartha
Klaus Schulze - Audentity
Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic
Kayo Dot - Plastic Base On House Of Sky (speaking of the 80s...although here they sound like Bowie and Sylvian joining forces over some ayahuasca and distinctively 80s sounding synths)
Amen Dunes - Freedom (this has become one of my favourite new discoveries and also one of the best albjms I've heard all year. I love his voice and his unique lisp. Goes together beautifully with the Americana thing he's got going.)

Thanks man, in fact you guys are all awfully sweet. Well it will get better once I get over the 40 minute busride home I still have huge difficulties with my balance. Not looking forward to it but afterwards I'm starting up an evening with music, headphones, buddha and a nice comfy sofa Hepcat genuinely sounds like something that'd fit the evening beautifully...never heard of em before though.

Today up until now has been a bit weird but I guess it's just an exceedingly grey sunday that I tried to paint in a little colour. Denmark will be overwhelmingly grey for the next 3-4 months.

Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden - Force et Structure
Igor Wakhevitch - Docteur Faust
Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves

Cervical spine eh? Ouch that sounds horrendously painful. But yeah hurting my back like this has really taught about something I'd call shadow ninja pain in that it fluctuates between bits of my body in such strange manners it really boggles the mind. I definitely have some pinched nerves adding to this, so it pretty much goes from feeling ow'y in my left toe and heel to 'why is my elbow twitching like a flamenco dancer?'. Also inadvertently funny some times and I just have to laugh at it. Walking around like John Cleese has also garnered quite a few laughs at work.

Mr Dunes didn't catch on right away...until it dawned on me that I was listening to his music on waaaaaaaay too low of a volume. I cranked it up and there it was! Zing.
Funny though because that usually only happens when I buy old or used cd's.
Also works the other way y'know when you put on an album, just like any old time, but here you experience the sensation of standing behind a speeding jet engine screaming in your face. Complete destruction. The 1997 remaster of Raw Power will certainly do that to a person who just finished this Amen Dunes album fx.
