@nakedfoul Endless random Phish related posts. Never liked any posts even vaguely jam band adjacent, but the algo says I need that shit in my life. Total wtf.

Good news from Missouri

@NatetheK Ooh, jealous. Lovely stuff, insane talent.

Listening to Tom Waits’ Foreign Affairs (‘77) in my ongoing quest to listen to every record I own.

Anyway. I always imagine David Lee Roth singing many of these songs. It’s the old timey showbiz thing they share. I like to think TW split into 2 ppl, Jekyll/Hyde style.

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

nb-DLR can throat-sing multiple tones, so if he won’t cover one of Tom’s songs from this LP, I’ll settle for TW inviting DLR to a recording session as another instrument in his toolbox.

Should I bring my fuckin tools?! Cmon guys, this isn’t hard.

The truth will set you free!

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

Anyway, for me Foreign Affairs is the most overlooked of the pre-Rain Dogs LPs. Plus DLR is singing half the tunes in my head, and I get to go on this little ride each time.

PLUS I get to speculate what DLR contemporaneous bad ass woman would sing the duet?! Lita Ford? A keeper.

@SaschaPeppercor Wow, I had a similar but simpler version of that dream for years. Dead air, nothing cued, bins empty, carts are blank, phone is ringing and I know it’s the PD…

My last DJ slot was prob ‘92, but I kept having that dream until 5 or 10 years ago.

@realdicknorton Yeah. It’s not a real person. No sympathy for scammers.

Aging X’er getting crazy on Friday night.

Climbed that thing a dozen times pre-development, early 80s. Great view. Shot 8mm film in the abandoned warehouse nearby that became Shooters. Some homeless guy lived in an office on the 2nd floor with bedding, clock, chair, and a collection of clown masks - good times.

[Mike Vielhaber @MVielhaber]

Overnight: Two men were detained by CPD for about 20 minutes after CPD caught them climbing the old railroad bridge next to Shooters. Don't do this...

@stevenfischerky I was actually just going to say I’d rather listen to MMM for 24 hours straight then 1 more spin of this LP..

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

Omg I forgot how gawdawful Rock and Roll Animal was.And I have a high tolerance for Bad Lou. And Ig’s “Party.”

I’ve had this damn LP for 40 yrs & winced through its entirety every time. Except “Lady Day,” that’s decent. Today it finally goes in the sell pile.

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

@mwardlaw Now joined by several Bone Thugs albums Seifert produced. Sadly the framed Bloodrock LPs are no longer on display. Nothing music related has been tossed though. Still have nearly all the decks from old CRC & 1000+ reels going back to the 1950s!

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

Fun fact confirmed while working at Suma this weekend…

When Pere Ubu wanted some crowd noise for “Chinese Radiation” on their debut, engineer Ken Hamann pulled one of the multitrack reels for Grand Funk’s live album and dubbed it onto the Ubu song.

Worlds in Collision indeed

@ClevelandLiveM1 This was a session for A Bullet for Fidel. But Scott Pickering on drums, so … kinda? Great to play with him again though. Like putting on an old baseball glove - still fits like yesterday.

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

@AndrewKlimek5 Michael Seifert, A+ engineer. He grew up in a studio (his Dad owned Great Tracks). Bought Suma 2017, reopened a couple years ago. There was much cleaning and restoration to be done, so it took a while.

@moviefan67 Yeah, but…
57 yo here. Went to shows constantly 82-95 (&beyond, just not as often) gigged extensively same period incl 4 national tours 4-8 weeks each playing 6 nights/week. Not quiet music.
My hearing was tested a cpl years ago, 100% in all frequencies. NEVER wore plugs.

@RosyOverdrive In this case, idk who Jon Brion is, but I despise the Afghan Whigs. Yet I might truly enjoy whoever band this might be.

[Scat Records @_ScatRecords]

@RosyOverdrive FWIW I usually stop reading a review or article when the comparisons start to appear. The subject becomes secondary to the writers’ frame of reference, to which I often cannot relate, or simply disdain. I get the temptation, sometimes even enjoy a clever one, but those are rare.
