Naw, that was kind of an esoteric reference, or at least a 27 year old reference.
Seems like yesterday, makes me feel old(er). Where are my shoes?

Great album. I got to see it live, good show. My friends and I got there early, snuck into the venue and watched them do soundcheck. Eventually we got politely escorted out. Good times.
Now playing Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy.
Randy Newman is one of the most underrated in my opinion. I'd recommend seeking out one of his boxed sets.
As far as songwriting, he was brilliant - lyrically and instrumentality. I'm quite a big fan
And Dr John - man, one of the coolest concerts I saw. He was at a bluegrass festival in Florida of all places. Definitely summoned those swamp ghosts
I can see the history of the whole human race
It’s all right there - its carved into your face
Should I break it all down - should I fall on my knees
Is there light at the end of the tunnel - can you tell me please
Stand over there by the Cypress tree
Where the Trojan women and children were sold into slavery
Long ago before the First Crusade
Way back before England or America were made
Step right into the burning hell
Where some of the best known enemies of mankind dwell
Mister Freud with his dreams and Mister Marx with his axe
See the raw hide lash rip the skin off their backs

Here's an amazing arrangement of Tool's "Lateralus"
New album. I just unboxed it and spun it three times…
Before you judge me… “what the hell, Cos, electronica?!” Yes, the band is dance/electronica, but Sofi Tukker makes great concept albums, shifting quickly between ideas and styles. These Floridians can really spin styles into a rich woven tapestry of aesthetics so rich you want to run your fingers through.
In Wet Tennis, they take you from the old days of Paris to a layup with white boy Byrd thumping courts, to a euphemistic game of wet tennis, sloshing that racket through a wet game where love is the starting point.
My joy comes from an album as a whole… not a style, or genre, or even a hot song. It’s the songs as woven by artists in the grooves.

Currently listening to Jean-Michel Jarre ~ Oxygène.
This band takes me back to undergrads… girls all fresh out from under parental protection, wanting to try new things… driving to Athens, Georgia… having Michael Stipe buy me a Mountain Dew and talking about shoes, of all things. Shoes… wide eyed girls, star struck… and dancing, more bouncing to the groove of old South rebooted to a new punk electronica. Spanish moss draped over punk rock sculptures of Southern gothic graveyards where the children explore the pleasures of the the ear worms…
A deep dark Southern Acadian blend… smoldering… is required for entry.

Currently listening to Triumph ~ Allied Forces.
Blonde On Blonde............. this album (at least to me) never gets old........... I can listen to it 100's of times and always walk away with something new. Dylan is (was) a master at this..........
The band formerly known as the New Yardbirds… I had a girlfriend when I was 15 that told me that she had her first orgasm listening to this band, so of course I bought all of their albums and walked around with the fallen angel tshirt till it was so torn up that my mother used it as a rag for polishing furniture. But, no matter how many times I spun this album, I didn’t orgasm.
Led Zeppelin…
Led Zeppelin…
I for one am relieved to know a Zeppelin album did not cause you to ejaculate.
My band desperately needs to add some fresh stuff to our set list, so we are working on several new songs. This one...
...is going to lead directly into this one...
