^That's a really cool list. I haven't listened to Lightness in a long time, but that was one of my favorite albums in high school. I have to check out Universal Themes as well. Although I've been pretty hot and cold on Sun Kil Moon, I really enjoyed Benji, so I'm more inclined to try out this one.

You wanna help a brother out man?

I take the easy way out these days with Spotify. If I run across a copy I'll be sure to pay it forward. The album sounds like John Coltrane if he were to collaborate with Zu and Otomo Yoshihide.

The Irony Of it All. I love how he plays a geezer for one bit and an upstanding citizen the next at the drop of a beat.

Isaac Hayes - Black Moses - A great album, although sadly it was found in the single-sleeve-for-two-albums edition instead of the original epic fold out (plus, the inner sleeves were advertisements for the make of the pressing - the dreaded DynaFlex). Still, the music is seriously great and the albums are in good condition!

Planet P Project (Tony Carey) - Pink World - Another Double platter, but it's good. Ambitious and under-valued, although it has it's fans. I had memories of a couple of songs being played on the radio.

David Sylvian - Gone to Earth - Double Album #3 for today! - This is the first time I actually heard this album, although when it was out my tastes were not yet with the ambitious turn he took as a solo artist. In a couple of year Talk Talk's The Spirit of Eden would start to cool my heels after a couple of living from Punk show to Punk show.

Mott the Hoople - The Hoople - Bought for a dollar, but certainly worth more. A great album!

Rodney on the ROQ Vol. 1 - this collection brought back some memories of hanging out with a great friend in the middle of nowhere just North of Toledo during 1983-4, listening to a lot of this stuff. A great education as well as the breaking down of a lot of barriers.

Mitch Ryder - What Now My Love? - The infamous Late 1967 album which featured Bob Crewe taking the singer into Ballad territory without The Detroit Wheels. An amusing album with half-ballads and half rockers with some good tracks, but a bloated production and the "Star Trek" backing vocals ruin it a bit. Have to watch the volume when I hear this on my headphones as the horns on the Right Speaker blast out!

Rick Nelson - In Concert - Another nice Dollar Bin find. A solid album. Cal-Rock fans take note of a Pre-Eagles Randy Meisner on Bass.

Dream Castle by Tanning Salon

kinda looks like a vaporwave cover art, but no no its not. its just a really nice and peaceful ambient album. has this static going on throughout the whole album which makes it sound like youre listening to it on cassette or something (and wow you can only buy it on cassette from their bandcamp page. its very good sleeping music, as I fell asleep listening to it last night. twas lovely.

Terrible Lizard · 06-04-2015, 02:15 PM

I prefer this cover to the original.

Recently picked up The Bends on Vinyl. It's really good in the first place, and I think the vinyl really enhances the sound. This is the album where Radiohead really came into their own, and it demonstrates the path they were on really well.
