What Music Are You Listening to? November, 2023

[smudgersmissingleg]

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums….
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.…
In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism....
Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.…
Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds… But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite. Now, don’t just stare at it, eat it.

I've seen American Psycho a few times. Some hilarious dialogue in that movie, plus Jared Leto gets hit in the head with an axe, which can only be a good thing.

Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now, Jared!

Just received my copy of Jimmy Buffett's last CD Equal Strain on all Parts, and am enjoying it immensely.

It's another Dark Star night. Smoking Dark Star listening to Dark Star. 1985-1990 was my favorite era because it was my era.

The only time I heard it live. Always sweet, but made better by the crowd asking for it with signs counting days since the last one. And Winterland!

Thats awesome. I would have loved to have seen them in this era. Did you see any of the infamous '77 shows?
