What Are You Listening To?

just click the link man!

does anyone have an opinion on this?

I bought it in the 90s and listened to it once…not sure I got all the way through…it’s pretty dire…

There just isn’t anything out there as good as the self titled album, their b-sides and those two singles before their break.

Turns Into Stone, a fairly comprehensive collection of their non-album singles/b-sides, is one hell of an "album" every bit as compelling as their eponymous debut, and the Sally Cinnamon EP is essential as well. Beautiful Thing is awesome.

Second Coming and All for One are a step below all these, though still pretty good (for another band).

These tone poet blue notes are gorgeous. Look at the reflection of the label on the shiny cover!

This session from the end of 1963 I had not heard before cause it was a session that remained unreleased until 1999 on a limited cd run. Anyways what’s the big deal about this one? Well it was recorded about a month after the legendary Idle Moments album by the same musicians in the same studio with the same engineer!  The difference is Hutcherson was the @leader on this as opposed to Green….it’s always been my contention that Hutcherson sounds like the leader on Idle Moments. Anyways, Green isn’t on two of the five tracks on this….and doesn’t solo as much on the ones he is on….. Another consideration  is a standard performed at the session and on the cd is not included on the LP probably cause they didn’t want to cram 53 minutes on one LP.

Verdict? Well worth getting before it’s out of print again. It has the same melancholic nocturnal vibe as Idle Moments. Hutcherson and Cal Tjader are the only two vibes players I dig and I dig them a lot. Is this as great as Idle Moments? Doubtful but it’s not superfluous either… just depends how you like your jazz

As Fast As - Open Letter To The Damned

was scrolling through my music and noticed this one, haven't listen to in over a decade and of course I still know all the songs like I just listened to yesterday.  went down the rabbit hole to find that of course the main songwriter Spencer Albee is still active and has a bunch of albums out since this one.

Spiritual Cramp

Came across this one as they describe themselves as Hard Mod and was intrigued.  Getting The Hives vibes off them, basically they meet my Friday afternoon listening criteria of having great hooks/riffs with swagger.  that sidehatch character may dig em', not sure about the rest of you lot.

Uh, you wouldn't be calling this "disarray" if you actually listened to Ben's spitting fire, dood
