^^^ Hejira is pretty much the greatest album by anyone ever
This week I discovered Delroy Wilson via a greatest hits comp. He's great!

Is Poison's Open Up and Say... Ah! a Classic album? Because it sounds fantastic right now.
― brontosaur, Thursday, 19 April 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
No idea if it's a classic, but I wish it sounded more like its album cover.

It's hard to imagine that a long tongue and that title were enough to get that album cover censored.

Not an album, but Barbara Lewis' 'Hello Stranger' randomly popped up on the in-store radio at work and it completely floored me. I knew Julia Holter's version from Loud City Song, but never realized it was a cover.

I'm not normally someone that listens to blues records, but West Side Soul by Magic Sam totally blew me away.

Was planning on posting about Pirates here. I discovered it with last year’s thread/discussions and it has been slowly growing into a fave of mine ever since.

Cem Karaca/Karpaslar which I had to compile from tracks on Spotify and I hope i used the right versions for. Just reading the Daniel Spicer book on Anadolu Psych which had a chapter on Karaca which has me looking into the music written about.There are Guerssen reissues of this and the other Cem Karaca compilation from around the same time which was also really great.Need to get hold of copies.
Anyway Turkish mid 70s psych meets traditional Turkish folk melodies. Great stuff.

There's a Magic Sam disc with his 1969 Ann Arbor Blues Festival performance and early '60s Chicago live recordings that absolutely burns. You'll love it.

I love that he's not even using his own guitar in that clip. He forgot his guitar and had to borrow Earl Hooker's. Young guitarists take note: the guitar doesn't matter if you can make your fingers play like that!
Fans of West Side Soul, don't skip the 1968 live recording Live at the Avant Garde. Incredible stuff and surprisingly decent sound.

i've been really getting into the chic mix of "diana" this week, soooo good
also checking out first wave vanguarda paulista, Magamaquiavérica em canturbano is great, man having an actual singer instead of somebody just shouting in a fake captain beefheart voice over the music makes things sound so much better

Kate Bush - The Dreaming. Overlooked it when I first listened to her. What a classic! Such a creative fountainhead of ideas and ambition.

Can't Stand The Rezillos as part of the new Cherry Red set Flying Saucer Attack.I was semi aware of them. Not sure what I'd heard. maybe saw TOTP on TOTP at the time.But the sound is a lot more multidimensional and 3D than I expected. Really love this set. Well first disc anyway, 2nd is the live set.

was odd to hear about this being reissued - i'd bought a copy in fopp a month before where they had a pile of them. it says sire / warner and also "plundering the vaults".
― koogs, Monday, 28 May 2018 18:57 (five years ago) link
(although it makes sense that they'd be selling them off ahead of the reissue, i guess)

This is a shocking admission to make on ILM, but until very recently I had never heard any Fleetwood Mac, except for a few well-known tracks. So I've been listening a lot to their classic 70s Buckingham-era albums lately. All three are great, but I have to say I prefer s/t to both Rumours and Tusk.

Does that mean you still have the Peter Green stuff to discover? If so, could we swap ears for a bit?

Then play On is the one, especially if you can still get the expanded version from a few years ago.1st lp is too straight Chicago electric blues.
the live set from Boston in '69 has them stretching out heavily and has its moments.
