50 something liberal. Anti-Maga. I'm sick of all the bullshit. I love records and hi-fidelity listening. I also play Pokémon Go (since 2016). By many people's standards, I am successful, but I am still seeking something more from my existence.
Homework by Daft Punk. First had this album on CD. Purchased it right before my daughter was born. She recently turned 27.

Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin

Lyceum, 5-23-1972, by the Grateful Dead. I got lucky and won this and other live Dead boxsets. Europe 72' tour!

The power supply to my Mark Levinson amp was replaced, so we are back to the moving cartridge set-up. Nice to have the audiophile components back.

Stone Roses (self-titled)

What a great album. US 1st press on Silvertone.

Not my usual musical style, but my massage therapist recommended I give this a listen last April. What a year she has had, and now up for album of the year. Pop perfection. Check out her Lollapalooza performance, 90K people showed up.

Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess by Chappell Roan

My favorite guitar solo is Kirk's work on One. Melted my face the first time I heard it, and it still moves me after all these years.

Lack of bass in the mix aside, I do love this album.

And Justice For All by Metallica. US 1st press.

You what Metallica is? They are one hell of a cover band. This was my first exposure to them back in 1987, and it still brings the heat.

The $5.98 EP Garage Days Re-revisited. 180g repress

Back from a bout of the flu!

Scumdogs of the Universe by GWAR. US 1st press on Master Records.

While this may have originated from a joke, it is a great metal album. RIP Dave Brockie.

"This deli tray is unacceptable" may be the finest metal lyrics ever uttered

Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death by Dead Kennedys.

Learned my earliest political leanings from the guys.

Second listen of the session:

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes by TV On The Radio.

First time hearing this band, and I am enjoying it!

Saturday Listening Session

We are doing critical listens of various records. Little conversation, lots of just Listening intently.

First up: Life's Too Good by the Sugarcubes. Björk's last band before going solo.
January 11, 2025 at 9:17 PM
Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden.

My first exposure to the band was 39 years ago. Blew my mind the first time I heard it, and continues to be my favorite all these years later. Just saw them last October, and they were incredible.

Leaving the Gothic rock behind and taking a turn to progressive country!

The Best of the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

Early iterations of this band featured Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart of Grateful Dead fame.
January 5, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Up next!

Paint Your Wagon by Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

Gothic rock, post punk from Leeds, England.

This comes with a bonus 7" (not pictured)

First spin of the day!

How I Got Over by the Roots.
January 5, 2025 at 8:14 PM
Random pull from the collection!

Stranded by Roxy Music (1973)

The third album from the band and the first album were the lead singer, Bryan Ferry was not the sole songwriter. I am slowly diving into Roxy Music, and overall, I am enjoying them
January 5, 2025 at 1:33 AM
Up next!

Ragin', Full On by Firehose.

I first heard Firehose's "Brave Captain" as the backdrop to the Natas Kapas segment of the Santa Cruz skate video, "Streets of Fire." Early boardslide on a handrail and the crazy fire hydrant spin. Mike Watt presents a very original approach to bass guitar.
January 4, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Up next on the turntable!

Funeral by Arcade Fire. This is my first listen to this one. Maybe it is my age, but I haven't connected with Arcade Fire like those a decade or so younger than me have. Certainly not unlistenable, but I am waiting for them to grab me.
