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.
