⦠and one of my favourite songwriters and best songs IMHO. Saw him do this live at the Town and Country club back in 1990 or so⦠anazing
Iāve never really listened to Rush but I do have plenty of āuncoolā guilty pleasures myself from way back when. I spent far too much time reading Lord of the Rings and JP Donleavy books with huge headphones clamped to my head listening to Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, King Crimson and Gabriel era Genesis. Iāll put some of this stuff on at home occassionally to be greeted with WTF is that? from Mrs SOG.
Listened to the whole album, Painted Shut, on my flight home tāother day. Really enjoyed it.
Also been listening to SOAK, Sufjan Stevens & Explosions in the Sky quite a bit recently. Atmospheric.
So, Iāve listened to that Hop Along album at least 5 times since the above post. How many is too many times to listen to an album in a day?
Think a new obsession may be coming on.
This song was released this week 40 years agoā¦a track on the album āThe Hissing of Summer Lawnsāā¦an artist who made everything possible for women songwritersā¦without compromisingā¦
Top tune there, Goatboy. And, unless Iām much mistaken, thatās the great Manley Augustus Buchanan, aka Big Youth, driving the car in the opening scene. Fab.
Bit of a nostalgia fest this morningā¦some wah-wah on a Steely Dan track took me here. A must hear for guitar playersā¦1970ā¦Peter Green just jamming with a rhythmn section and sounding like he was going to play forever. Wah-wah heavenā¦
