yes he did

Curated and mixed by Youth

Liner notes by Youth
Stones Exile then Beggars

Bookends to best five album run ever
while there are a few classic singles…Goats Head Soup really hits like a thud after those 5
I think goats head soup is an abomination


But it has its fans who seem to like it…they claim it has a great druggy vibe.. I once dated someone who tried to convince me it was great but I wasn’t having it…

Jimmy Miller must have been seriously on heroin to produce this turd and the band promptly shitcanned him

The follow up, It’s only rock and roll is even worse or about the same

They really were treading water at this point


Angie is a top ten stones song for me
Heartbreaker Also hits a lot of sweet spots (that intro! The keys and the wha-wha)

So some might put it on a pedestal just because of those
Well it’s got some good songs but that a great album does not make. You can listen to both of those - Angie and Hesrtbreaker- on a Stones compilation (rewind)


On the other hand I love the underrated Black and blue (oh vinyl pressing smokes! Almost a reference disc)….not burnt out on it like Angie
Getting the Led out
This has to be the best motivation music for chores
Rat music for rat people
Been listening to big star’s third again

In the mid to late 90s I listened to it so much I really burned out on it and moved on


But all these years later I can go back to it and it’s fresh

Really could never get into that one. The first two I listen to so often but Third just never did it for me. Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos is really fantastic though.



Like Graham Parker, never understood why these guys weren't bigger.  I guess there was only room for 1 Elvis Costello?
