Lou Rone, an old LMO crony (played guitar in Kongress), posted a comment the other day on Stigliano's blog. Chris had written something about not liking the word "hippie" and Rone said that his nickname used to be "Hippie" and something about how that was their time and place. He said, "LMO, Grey, Sumner - all flower power boys."

Also bought Guapo "black oni" which sounded ok on 1st listen. Murky-sounding instrumental prog rock, somewhat king crimsonish in places, maybe.

Also listened to the pink fairies and the move. Brit music 1970-1972 was so great.

Noize score = last night at Earth gig, talking to longtime acquaintance about Boris gig, find out he put out 3 disc Archive set. Bought it this morning.

He's also putting out a new Haino set.

i loved seventeen stars, but i never really got into the world is flat, and so far this reminds me more of the latter. much of the music is still nice (legrand/reilly/whatever it says on press kit), but i dont really like his vocals (strange, as the vocals were fine on the first lp)

Quite an Adventure has a spoken word section instead, an older man, talking about manchester in the 50s (afflecks palace, oldham st, all around there), though it strikes me as something of a hovis pastiche

cd:
Titanic - s/t (break heavy psych rock)

celine dion does totally RULE!

I've always wondered about that Titanic record! I was obsessed with buying every old British hard rock / prog record reissued on the Repertoire label, but I never ran acrossed that one. And then I asked George Smith about it one time on ILM, and he said it was kind of like horn-prog or something. So my flame for that record kind of got extinguished. not that there is anything wrong with horn-prog .. I am of course a massive Chicago fan, Electric Flag fan, Sons of Champlin fan -- heck, I even have a couple Colosseum records -- I just had a bad feeling about that Titanic record after that...

been listenin to
Joyce -- s/t and Essential and live in concert last week
B.B. King -- Singin' the Blues / The Blues cd -- b.b.'s first two on one CD, freakin unstoppable, an old friend..
Grateful Dead -- Complete Fillmore Concerts box
The Embarassment - Blister Pop
Rita Lee -- Atras Do Porto Tem Uma Cidade -- this is fantastic. this record screams JBR
Ernie Andrews -- This is Ernie Andrews -- killer singer's first LP for Dot, just reissued on CD, incredible..

i got a review copy of the simon reynolds book on wed..it FORCED me to pull out closer last night...it is pretty damn good. nice to know i was right about a few things when i was 15.

brilliance

I started off thinking I only liked it a little, then realized it was the only thing I was in the mood to listen to most nights

tommy james - sing sing sing/i'm comin home
little roger & the goosebumps - gilligan's island (stairway)/the wet look
the cyrkle - how can i leave her/red rubber ball
don cherry - whoppoorwill/to think you've chosen me
van morrison - brown eyed girl/TB sheets
loretta lynn - rated x/til the pain outwears the shame
and not one, but TWO copies of pearls before swine "i saw the world" b/w "i saw the world" on ESP.

no major scratches on any of these, just dirty & a little noisy. fine for my own pleasure.
