Ok, alright, here's one for you: if we posit Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes are 1-2, what's the third essential GBV album?

When you see Tim Curry's face do you think of Pennywise or Dr. Frank-N-Furter first? Or morphing into The Grinch?

This is cool (disclaimer: primarily classic rock and then alt rock and then indie rock) So many of these are the sound of the band plugging in or revving up or just "making noise" in a way that shines a light on how accidental or happenstance these are that stick with us. youtu.be/g_9PS6uDOSo?...
Albums with the Best First Few Seconds (Ultimate Edition)youtu.be Saw some people make videos of this sort on Youtube and I wanted to put my two cents in.

Feed your head the trippy layered guitar strumming of Roy Montgomery's Temple IV (kranky reissue) "The tracks on the album are thick with interwoven guitar lines and moog drone, inspired by the Guatemalan rain forests and the mysterious ruins of the temple and ruins Roy visited there" #NowSpinning

I'm not nearly as decisive about determining whether I really like a particular guitar player as I am with drummers.

In later toytown twee stuff, I absolutely love PLONE and Aphex Twin's Melodies From Mars / Mike'n'Rich albums, they do all that but without the self-conscious ghostliness... Also a much subtler new strand, one of the best albums of the last couple of years:

At the risk of breaking my own laxed rules for myself, something I've been thinking about is how very little I heard about the two assassination attempts on Gerald Ford in 1975. Reading about them now is crazy: they were 17 days a part! The assailant was up close!! They didn't make my history books

I performed a catch-and-release operation on the mouse. I just don't know if it's an Alien or Aliens situation. I won't bother you about this anymore

Having an awesome convo about UK psych rock which is serving as a major procrastinating distraction on this Monday morning. Which, all I'm saying, is if you want to get the most out of social media...music.

Anyway, here's two albums I've listened to recently in a way where I finally "got" something that wasn't connecting before. This version of The Slits cover won't get flagged as inappropriate content.

Mouse trap shopping Should I try the HUMANE HIGH-VOLTAGE SHOCK traps? My wife doesn't want to kill them, but also doesn't want to see them 🤷‍♂️

My 70 year old uncle is letting me borrow one of his cars (old guy with plural cars) while mine is in the shop (still), its a Chrysler 300 that makes an awful screach, found his CD book in the truck. Usual fare...Allman Bros, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart. And then...

Ey nerds. Popped in the strip mall record store today and the first thing I noticed was this face looking at me. It's an early press. I really wanted a replacement for my 'modern' reissue that has nasty sibilance on the vocals. This is noticeably better.

I was denied Canadian citizenship and bounced to Greenland. Whatup my dudes what you wanna talk about?

When I started listening to hip-hop in the 90s I didn't know who Russell Simmons was or what he looked like, so when rappers mentioned him (usually as a diss) my brain immediately pictured Richard Simmons.
