3 December 2009 (Thursday)
Started the day with the song "Soul To Soul" by Ike & Tina Turner.
Put on Miles Davis "Get Up With It" as I was puttering about and getting ready to head out. I dig this album!
Finally downloaded the two legendary The God Machine albums, "Scenes From The Second Storey" and "One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying". Through the years I have heard that The God Machine albums were lost masterpieces (I even saw the singer's current band Sophia in Krefeld, Germany a few years ago) but had never actually heard them. I wonder how I missed them when they came out in the mid-90's? Anyway, today I finally heard them both. Very cool! If I had heard them when they came out I would have totally loved the records. As it is, it just reminds me of being in my mid-20's.
Angel Witch - Angel Witch (25th Anniversary edition). Ah, a guitar lover's classic!
Angel Witch led to Iron Maiden "Killers". I'm stuck in a NWOBHM rut.
Just back from the library.
Given the recent listen-through of Chet Atkins and Les Paul, I am giving Chet Atkins Picks On The Beatles a spin. I'm sure he's playing heartfelt and all, but once through is enough for me for a lifetime.
Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend (expanded edition)". I never got into Mr. Sweet, but giving this supposedly "classic" album a spin. Ok, I understand why the ladies swoon for Sweet, and I get that he's pouring his heart out here, but it doesn't move me.
