Holds up all these years later for me

My daughter insisted on listening to that album so much back in 2015 that neither of us can listen to it anymore. That album was good but her other albums were terrible.

Well it captures a moment in time with a perfect mix of collaborators (dudes from the hooters) and inspired cover choices including girls just want to have fun, money changes everything and when you were mine


You just can’t repeat the zeitgeist

I'm watching The Devil and Daniel Johnston, wondering…do people actually sit about and listen to Daniel Johnston albums? Good lor, there's no accounting for bad taste. I hate that fat fuck.

I got free tickets to one of his concerts a few miles from my house once and it was . . . amusing. Not a waste of an hour but I agree I couldn’t imagine listening to his albums regularly.

I followed that movie up with the H.R. documentary. Both streaming on Prime. Mental illness, what a bitch. No surprise that they're both heavily into religion.

Talking Heads - 77


This has been stuck in my cd changer for a few weeks…I don’t know if it has something with being the last reissue (dual disc) but sounds great

Bob Marley and the Wailers- live in Chicago 6-10-75

Best Bob boot I have heard…playing a small club still trying to build and crack US market….he is working hard at this show…wish I had been there…probably 300-400 people there…he had cracked certain markets like Boston and San Francisco but not Chicago obviously…worth checking out although most boots start with wrong song…first should be Slave Driver…last Natty Dread

The sound is so good on this boot you feel at the club…you hear people getting into it- individuals/ and Bob responding to it….
