Last night...

Very nice artwork !

Sweet! Is this as good as you'd hope a 1976 Patti Smith bootleg would be?

Oh, yeah. It's nice. It's a good mix of stuff, from her underground single (Piss Factory/Hey Joe) through some of her 76-era live stuff and even some bizarre interviews on things like the Mike Douglas show.

I saw another boot at the store that was totally the live show in Sweden in 76, and in a wealthier lifetime I might have sprung for both, but you know... Wish now I'd maybe gotten that instead of the Count Five thing. Also had to pass up the VU Live at the Gymnasium. Fuck, I just know both will be gone before next paycheck!

Daughter Of The Sun - Rings

Excellent polyrhythmic blissout psychedelia from our area. Highly recommended.

Went shopping for second hand vinyl at the market. Got some gems, and at good prices. All on vinyl:

Patti Smith Group - Easter




Isaac Hayes - The Issac Hayes Movement




Hawkwind - Space Ritual




The 70s are definitely making a comeback in my household tonight...

found these beauties during a rummaging session in an old record shop near where i live

Inspired by a combination of the Dylan discussion in the "If Only [x] Was Their Final Album" thread, having just listened to "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" in the car this morning, being crushed by the amount of work I have to do, and breaking up with my girlfriend, I decided to say "fuck it" and finally got a copy of "Blonde on Blonde" on vinyl. I can now tick that off my list of "all time unimpeachable favourites that I don't have on vinyl yet".




By the time I finish (if I finish) my essay tonight and slump at what will probably be 2 AM with this at top volume, I may well be a total wreck.

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

^definitely my fav Dylan LP. Untouchable.

I couldn't agree more. I mean jesus christ, each of the first 3 sides would make one of the greatest EPs of all time, and then there's Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, which is utterly transcendent and could go on for an hour and I would still love every second. It also flows fucking perfectly as an album. Everything about it. The dynamics, the production, the backing, the lyrics. I adore it as much as any music ever recorded.
