    Been on a bit of a Frank Black Francis trip of late. I seem to fall into and out of love with this guy every few years, and this is apparently the year I fall back in love with his music. The current playlist looks a little something like this:- "Come on Pilgrim" (Pixies) - "Wave of Mutilation: The Best of Pixies" (Pixies) - "Teenager of the Year" (Frank Black) - "Show Me Your Tears" (Frank Black & the Catholics) - "93-03" (Frank Black/FB&tC) - "Live Sessions (iTunes Exclusive)" (Frank Black) - "Bluefinger" (Black Francis) - "The Seus" (Black Francis) Speaking of the Pixies, now that Kim Deal has parted ways with the group, they apparently have a new song the released just this morning, "Bagboy": http://pixiesmusic.com/new/.

    Solid Sound 6/21/13, the "covers" show. Pretty fun setlist, running the gamut from the Beatles to the Replacements, the Modern Lovers to Cheap Trick, Television ("Marquee Moon") to Blue Oyster Cult, Neil Young to Daft Punk. "Waterloo Sunset" (Kinks) to "Waterloo" (ABBA). And yes, the Dead. And Pavement, Thin Lizzy, Big Star, Dylan and the Stones. Have I left anyone out? Yo La Tengo, Count Five, Velvet Underground. And much more, or at least a little more...

    "The Second Album + the First Rehearsal Tapes." These guys were punk before punk was punk. And they'll still be punk long after punk stops being punk (which, I believe, will be next Friday). I can't think of another team of musicians that is more of the antithesis of "popular music" than Martin Rev and Alan Vega. At their core, these guys are artists, just a voice adrift in the dull pulsings of a cheap keyboard and an old drum machine. I don't recommend this band for the casual music listener. It took me a couple years to *like* these guys, so imagine how long it took for me to start singing their praises. Bottom line: forget everything you think you know about music, because it doesn't apply here. To call them abrasive would be an understatement.

    Jolly vacation time is winding down so I've got Bunny Wailer's "Rock 'n Groove" rolling along. I had it converted from LP to CD - it ain't perfect but when you've got some of the hardest grooves ever laid down by both Sly & Robbie and the Radics, you can't lose. I know it's just one thing, but with marye's approval, I could vine it. ? Next up? Marley, Isaacs, Studio One - Lord have mercy, music hits with 0 pain. Deadicated

    Blaze of Glory I'm always happy to find someone new to like, even if she ain't that new or young at all. And always encouraged to know that there's more good music in the world than I'll ever get a chance to hear. But as a kid who grew up listening to and loving the Beatles, the most popular band of all time, it's always a head-scratcher to me that I can't find the music I love among what currently passes as "popular music." Not that I necessarily want the music I love to be "popular" (when, in fact, there's a lot of pleasure in having these folks all to ourselves, getting a chance to see them in clubs and theatres instead of fighting the arena crowds), just wishing more success for the artists whose music I love... I'm using this little gem of an album as a set break in my May '77 immersion, a palate-cleanser. Now back to the GOGD.

    A buddy of mine bought the new album, "Kveikur," on vinyl from Amazon, and, thanks to AutoRip, had no use for the download code included with the record and sent it to me. This is my first experience listening to these guys, though I have a number of fans who are raving fans. Just never got around to giving 'em a listen, I guess. They're Icelandic, and not a lick of their lyrics are in English, but whatever. I dig their sound; they remind me a lot of Switzerland's Dungen and the U.K.'s Durutti Column. They play very spacey, ambient, post-psychedelic rock, which I dig. I mean, if you can stomach the Legendary Pink Dots, grooving to these guys is a cake walk. Of course, I say all this assuming no one here has ever listened to Sigur Rós before....

This was the last one, the last one I sang to him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=rT0rhVhXnNA&NR=1 The ending in this fits.

Regions of Light and Sound of God I have this nagging feeling that My Morning Jacket is going to go all Radiohead on me. This album doesn't do much to allay that fear. The fact that I like the album isn't much help, since I also liked "OK Computer," but hated "Kid A" and everything after. Naahhh, it'll never happen. Will it?

I gotta say, gratefuldean, I've listened to several My Morning Jacket albums as well as Jim's solo record, and they don't do a thing for me. "Rolling Stone" raves and raves and RAVES about them, but I just don't hear what all the fuss is about. Sure, they're a very talented group of musicians, but their music feels very formulaic to me and not at all psychedelic. They must be one of those bands you gotta see live. Studio albums just don't seem to do them justice.

I gotta say, Parkas, I'm surprised that I like them, at least in a way. You're right, though, I got hooked seeing MMJ live before I ever heard an album. On the other hand, Circuital is one of my favorite albums of the past few years, so obviously once I "got" them, I "got" them.

Dark Star. Love this compilation and wish I'd taken the time to order the full ten disc set while it was first advertized. There is a confident rawness here that is just rising to maturity.

I find it slightly odd that I had a sudden urge to listen to QotSA yesterday, which just so happens to be the same day the band announced the release date of their new album, "...Like Clockwork." I also hate that I like this band so much, what with Josh Homme being such an a**hole and all that. I guess you just can't mess with genius sometimes. Anyway, yeah, I breezed through their self-titled debut yesterday (the recent re-release, anyway), am currently listening to "R," and will finish up with their best album to date, "Song for the Deaf." I used to have "Lullabies to Paralyze" and "Era Vulgaris," but they've gotten lost in the ether of crashed harddrives, never to be heard from again....

One of my favorite artists of all time, I just love his take on the blues. Got a bunch of his records on wax, which I recently converted to MP3s. Here's the playlist for today:- "Better Than the Rest" a.k.a. "Nadine" - S/T - "Move It on Over" (my favorite!) - "Bad to the Bone" - "Maverick" - "Live"

The Low Highway Nice! Lately I've been listening to "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Grateful Dead" in 20-30 minute chunks at bedtime. I have a way of neglecting the compilation releases sitting on the shelf, and it's been a while since I listened to this one. Reminds me why this is my favorite era of the Dead. Counting down to DaP6...what's the word on the bonus disc?

Listening to the LPs I was lucky enough to snag on Record Store Day this past Saturday. Sadly, I missed the 'Dead's release as well as the re-issue of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play," but I did get some pretty great records! There are a few other special releases I picked up that I haven't opened yet, too, like "The Animals Is Here" and "The Animals Are Back" to name a few. Managed to get quite the haul this year!- "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" by David Bowie* - "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" by David Bowie - "Album" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - "Public Image" by Public Image Ltd. - "(The Night the Sky Cried) Tears of Fire/Farstar" by the Sword* - "Hammer of Heaven" by the Sword* - "The Madcap Cries" by Syd Barrett* - "The Only Way to Go Is Straight Through" by Thurston Moore and Loren Connors * non-Record Store Day releases

JJ Grey and Mofro -- This River Eric Burdon -- 'Til Your River Runs Dry Speaking of Eric Burdon, I also snagged one of those Animals RSD mono releases, sounded pretty nice. Also, Richard Thompson, Jason Isbell/Elizabeth Cook, Avett Bros/Randy Travis, Gary Clark Jr, Mike Cooley, Jimi Hendrix, all on vinyl (I think that I'm forgetting something here), and a pristine used vinyl copy of the Ramones "Rocket to Russia." But missed the Dead RSD release...

Oh, man, that new Eric Burdon record is AMAZING! I've loved the Animals since I was a kid and managed to snag both RSD 45s. But yeah, "'Til Your River Runs Dry" is a stunning album and definitely one of the best I've heard in the last year or so.

"Kids" from the band's debut EP, 'Time to Pretend'. An interesting release but nowhere near the level of 'Oracular Spectacular' or 'Congratulations'.
