What are you listening to 2017

re B12/electro-soma

you know I picked up the cd edition back in the day and have loved it ever since.

it was not until this new edition and the press around it release that I became informed that's its actually a compilation

looking forward to the extra release of stuff that was recorded around the time.

it is friday evening and i'm listening to MOTORHEAD - NO SLEEP 'TIL HAMMERSMITH

That always gets the job done. I'm working through a mix with Gallon Drunk, Laughing Hyenas, American Music Club and the Poster Children at the moment.

it's the CD on roadrunner.. sounds aight... would love to hear an og vinyl version

i should investigate gallon drunk, i enjoyed the flaming stars stuff i heard

"this one is dedicated... to little filbert"

Gallon Drunk is a pretty odd group. They definitely got kinda Nick Cave/50s death rocker vocal fetish but they have a hard lounge garage rock sound that is kinda theirs too. It's got a simialr vibe as The Cramps, but the music is centered often around the bassline and noisier. There is a good live in the studio video of them from a few years back that I saw and really loved on Youtube. I got three of their CDs for not much at all and have been rotating them in over the past year or two. Beasts of Bourbon got a different but kinda similar trashy rock sound too. I also been into the Scientists of late completing the trifecta (to a point).

gerardo iacoucci "verso la frontiera"

Keith Moon - Two Sides of the Moon

hearing Miguel Ferrer drumming on Keith's Beach Boys cover is a pure joy

1/4 of the music I play on a radio show that i started recently has to be Irish so I've been running back through a few artists I was semi familiar with. I remember hearing them around the time this was around and thinking of the Meat puppets, possibly it was a peel session or something. This is pretty nice janglepop but I don't hear the offbeat quirkiness I must have heard at the time to be thinking about the MPs.

that latest abrams/natural information society album is most focused and best album yet imo.

I forced myself to take an open-minded listen to the entire Steely Dan discography. Multiple listens now. I understand their appeal and import; i just don't like 'em -- "FM" is the only song that ever really did anything for me, and is likely the only Dan track i'll ever purposefully listen to again.

Stan Getz - working on all his pre-bossa nova recordings (mid-40s thru early 60s) - fine stuff.

Freelove Fenner - Do Not Affect A Breezy Manner

I understand their appeal and import; i just don't like 'em

I wanna hug you
