Running list of albums to get....

OK. This list will be constantly in motion, fluid, as I add and remove records that I must acquire. Of course, these must be purchased on vinyl.

Radiohead - OK Computer and The Bends
The Smiths - studio albums
The Residents - any and all available
Sun Ra - anything I can find
Fela Kuti - anything I can find
Zappa - I have seen some of the new Zappa releases on vinyl (Wazoo, One Shot Deal, Buffalo, etc) plus any that I    don't have in my collection already.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
Peter Gabriel - Live (Classic Records 200g)
The Flaming Lips - The Dark Side of the Moon
The White Strips

Been awhile

It's been awhile since I last posted to my blog. I wanna get better at keeping this up to date.

Anyway, I went a saw of Montreal again last Tuesday. They played in Oxford, MS and my  friend Jaime went with me. We had a blast. She's a great partner for road trips. Once again, the show was fantastic, though I wish they had used the same stage production that they had the first time I saw them with Cayla in Atlanta. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself. I am even thing about going to New Orleans next month to see them again.


I have been seeing my old dear friend Hutto lately. It has been wonderful hooking up with him and Barbara. We fell right back into place like the years apart had not happened. He too is getting back into vinyl. So this Friday    I will be seeing them and I want to help him setup his new turntable. We shall see...

The Captain

I just received 5 Captain Beefheart albums on 180 gram vinyl and damn do they sound good. I really is a shame that he never found a larger audience.

Recordings that changed my life

I am attempting to list at least 30 records that have changed my life in some form or fashion. And, as Malin stated, the ENTIRE album must past muster. That means no Ringo Starr songs whatsoever! This will be an ongoing project, so hold on! Also, these are in no particular order, just as they come to me....

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Bauhaus - Volume 1 and Volume 2
of Montreal - Hissing Fauna/Skeletal Lamping/False Priest
Frank Zappa - most all of his recordings.
Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring
Edgar Varese - Ionization
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon and Live at Pompeii (maybe The Final Cut)
Peter Gabriel - Passion
Brahms - Requiem
The Beatles - Revolver/Rubber Soul
The Sex Pistols
Donovan - Greatest Hits
Daniel Lanois - For the Beauty of Wynona
Miles Davis - On the Corner & Bitches Brew

Well...Damn

I didn't make it to the show. It just wasn't in me tonight to drive to Atlanta and I am not sure why.  Maybe I have seen them enough. Maybe I need new inspiration from them. Maybe it is the knowledge that I'll get a download of the show tonight. Anyway, I missed it.

Excursion(s) to Georga

Well, I am getting ready to have one hell of a day in the car. I am riding to La Fayette, GA with Anna to pick up a dog for her dad and then I am heading to Atlanta afterwards. Today is the Flaming Lips show at Chastain Park!!!

Giddy freakin' up.

Dawn of a new era

Well, it seems I have finally succumbed to the blogging masses and have created my own blog. I'm not quite sure when, or if, I will share this to the world, but what the hell.

Anyway, I must decide how I want this to take shape. I feel sure that, much like my own thoughts, it will vacillate greatly between topics and postings, but hey, this is for me, right?!
