Agreed - I'm loving this
Roy Harper
I don’t know what took me so long. Known about him for nearly a lifetime but dismissed it as boring folkie music. It’s actually awesome folkie music. Will file this under the ever-increasing list of acts I should have been enjoying a long time ago.
So good I had to go order an album from his website.

growing old sucks, dunnit?
Yup. Tho sometimes stupidity gets the best of me, too.
I tried him a few years ago - Stormcock and maybe one about Cricket- but couldn’t get into it but figured I wasn’t ready
If the pink floyd and led Zep swear by him it has to be me
That’s the thing about being young.. sometimes you are not ready to process the music…it can take a while and done experience to get there

Exactly. I knew him from Zeppelin but couldn’t be bothered. The idea of his music had no appeal.
Hilariously I only found out he sung Have a Cigar after I got out of college. And had listened to that album a hundred times.

I sold off most of my Dead collection on cd
This set - to me- remains fascinating
That point when they are introducing Workingmans dead tunes into the set and their fans are largely acid burnouts and casualties..they can’t be playing for more than 500 folks… it was make or break time
The first cd has some very early performances of tunes like Dire Wolf, Casey Jones, Cumberland Blues (Worst version ever?)
Pigpen is still king but barely
The second set (cd 2 and 3) is a crowd pleasing acid jam fest almost apologetically making amends for set one with all the horrible new short countrified tunes
This is the transition point between acid psych dead and two of the greatest American country folk albums ever cut : WD and American Beauty
They all sound so young singing…Garcia a kid..
Derrick Anderson - A World of My Own
Superstar Power Pop bass player's debut solo album from a couple years back. He's been with the Bangles since 2008 and in these parts he would have been seen with The Smithereens for several years. He's played with a lots of others including Dave Davies, Matthew Sweet.
Nice collection of Power Pop tunes done with lots of his friends, including Smithereens, Bangles, Cowsills, etc.

It’s amazing how much Wailers music pre-Island exists… dozens of CDs… virtually unheard by most people… many earlier versions of classics but also tracks that were not recut
This CD seems to group together the stuff from the brief period in 1971-72 between them working with Lee Scratch Perry and signing to Island Records.. much of it self released on Tuff Gong

Man, I love those old Marley comps and albums… I must've had at least a dozen on CD in the 90's that had a really generic cover and then the roughest sounding versions of like you said, all the classics + dozens of other jams.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
Finally it’s here
Been wanting this since it’s release more than 12 years ago but always put off by price tag..it was always too expensive never mind I spend a ton of money on music
Reading the James Fearnley Pogues bio pushed me to get it…that and fact I will be dead soon
Managed to get it on eBay for $43 all in
This groups together about five packed CDs of rarities, soundtrack work, demos and live tracks…over 100 songs
Includes three demos for Fairytale in NY
Never realized so many tracks on Shane’s solo debut were Pogues leftovers and re-records
The Pogues suck.
Joe Strummer was a Pogue briefly….so that makes sense…
I only recently realized how big a Pogue Strummer was…I always thought his participation was limited to production- whatever that means..but he was a full band member and even their lead singer for a while!
So yeah Pogues must suck as much as the Clash!

In his prime -which only lasted a few years - Shane MacGowan was one of the greater lyricists of his day…on a par with anybody
Sadly he was not able to remain a functional alcoholic… a cautionary tale… also you wonder how much of his trouble stems from smoking.. he was able to stand and “sing” at his last 930 shows but needed oxygen between songs
He has been an invalid for at least a decade…very sad
It beats dying like Strummer / maybe- but doesn’t cut much of a romantic figure

In fact him and Phil Collins are probably the two saddest stories of aging in music by my musical heroes that I have come across
