@Grimisham First tape I ever bought for myself with about six of my own dollars. Waterford K-Mart. July of '87. Still got it.
Haven't listened to him in decades, but the mere sight of him brings a smile to my face.
I still seek out humor in music.
Love it when a record makes me laugh.
@john_j_dorfner Yeah, that transcription bit never really took off in Cody. I wanted more from it, too.
It was you and two other guys telling me to read Sax... Like, I got that recommendation three times in a week. Took it as a sign.
@john_j_dorfner P.S. I snagged a copy of Dr. Sax, the other day. I'm finishing Earth House Hold and then moving on to that, this afternoon. EHH, is really good, man.
@john_j_dorfner Hey!
Without putting too fine a point on it, pretty good! English rockers gradually turning toward jazz. Their line-up changed a lot. Worked with Hendrix and Floyd. Dug WSB. They start getting discordant in the mid70s, but this show from '71 was mellow and satisfying.
The Hired Hands a tribute to Bruce Langhorne. A tribute to one of the secret architects of music by a generation of guitarists influenced by soundtracks, American primitive, avant-garde, ambient, folk, jazz, and cosmic psychedelia leads to a perfect album for a misty morning.
@just_takes I stood accused of being a classic rock high schooler. Early 90s. Maturity wasn't my angle, but I think the overall point of your thread is quite good.
Nobody likes a smartypants.
Loud & obnoxious were huge when Urban Hang Suite dropped & it was so... soothing.
@just_takes I beg your pardon, that's unclear.
I'd think with every song ever being on their phones, kids now would have to work a lot harder to distinguish their listening habits than classic rock.
Because as a general type, the classic rock high schooler seems as old as classic rock.
@just_takes What you've identified as "teenagers who think they're more mature because they only listen to 'classic rock'"...
Is that what passes for digging deep nowadays, or what?
I felt Neuromancer was wildly optimistic, in positing a future at all, let alone one in which multinationals had made a dud of US/USSR having started a nuke-out. Seriously.
