COLORED VINYL LOOKS COOL BUT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT.

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

I have a Blue Meanies record that's blue. It supports this claim (albeit, only in a sound-quality sense...the music therein is TEH JAMZEEZ).

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I just got that Jan Dukes de Grey album reissue on Earmark and it's on 180 gram or whatever white vinyl and it sounds great, proving, I guess, that colored vinyl can be good quality.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

scott, you didn't have NBB?? No, I know you -- you had it at one point and got rid of it or something. You should play it and love it. You'll become a Byrdmaniac yet, I just know it!

Record players are essential household appliances.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

It sounded great today, Stormy! yeah, I've had all their stuff at one point or another, but I was never a huge fan. My record store had all these great original pressings of almost every Byrds album, so I've been buying them all little by little. I think I like them more now than I did 10 or 20 or 25 years ago. Sometimes things finally hit you the right way. Not that I couldn't understand why people love the Byrds and all that. It's pretty obvious. I just felt no great affinity for them. I'm still waiting for Exile On Main Street to be my favorite record! I might have to wait another ten years. Or maybe it will never happen. Set/Setting. Works for acid, works for music. I have been digging the first two Burrito Brothers records a lot lately too. And this great psych-country record I got by Charley D & Milo. Very Byrdsy.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

heh, i totally know what you mean about waiting for the right time for a record to become your favorite. i used to HATE steely dan and then last year just became totally addicted to them. and i've never really been into the stones or dylan, but last week i bought Exile and Blonde on Blonde to see what the fuss is all about. blonde is cool, but Exile's gonna have to take a bit for me to even see what any fuss is about.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

adam: Exile On Main Street is great! I'm a huge Stones fan, but I'm...you know, English.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

yeah, I said it

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

I always thought it was best to start at the beginning with Dylan and then work your way forward if you never listened to him much. Starting with Blonde On Blonde might be like starting War & Peace in the middle. Not that anyone couldn't dig Blonde On Blonde just for the tunes, but it's kinda cool to see how he got there.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:31 (twenty years ago)

nah, i don't like that early folkie bullshit

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

i actually got into dylan backwards. i fell in love with the Band's first album

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

dood, it's death-folk. you know, punk rock.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)

I don't know, if you once hated steely dan, my money is on you being a total early-Dylan freak by the end of the year. It's addictive stuff. Then you gotta find all the bootlegs and rare shit. It's neverending.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

I think the first Dylan thing I heard was that 'Greatest Hits Vol. 2', which i checked out on cassette from the local library because they didn't have Volume 1! I knew most of the songs from Vol 1 from the radio anyway though. Volume 2 was great though. I fell in love with stuff like "Watching the River Flow" and "I Shall Be Released" and "Down in the Flood". I was predisposed to like stuff that was informed by the blues, tho, so Dylan was a piece of cake.

Similarly I think I cottoned on to 'Exile' pretty damn quicksnap. It's probably my favorite album of all time. When I go on various threads and say it's things like Quicksilver or Talk Talk or Art Farmer or the Boredoms or Ornette or whatever, I mean, yeah I love them dearly, but 'Exile' is numero uno. At least, I've played it the most, I can almost guarantee that. Because for a long time, it was just the default, 2 am drunk record for me. And I spent a very large percentage of the late 80s and the 90s drunk at 2 am.

JaXoN, since you bin on that country tip, y'all should head straight for the country stuff on that record. Don't even start with "Rocks Off", just skip up to "Torn and Frayed". Don't just play it once, play it like, two or three times in a row. And listen to that beautiful steel solo by Al Perkins. I mean, he was a great player (you probably already have his handiwork on a buncha yer records), but this solo isn't technically tough or anything -- he just nails it though: perfect entry, perfect feeling, perfect flutter of notes before he switches to these volume swells for two bars, another flutter -- back into the verse. (also check the way the Mick Taylor plays bass like a walkin' fool behind it all - tight.) Listen to the way Keith is back there in the murk, trying valiantly to be heard seconding Mick's vocal. Charlie's trusty lope, etc.

Then I'd skip back and play "Sweet Virginia" through to "Loving Cup". That's like the country/folk mini-suite on the record. My favorite part. It's corny, but "Loving Cup" can still bring a tear to my eye. See, I was about to write skip "Happy" and go to "Turd On the Run", but you can't skip "HAppy"!! That's Keith's big moment in the sun. So dig on that, but then you get the "Turd on the Run"/"Ventilator Blues"/"I Just Want to See His Face" Beefheart-gospel mini-suite. I suppose you could skip "Let It Loose" (I wouldn't, but you could) in order to get to "All Down the Line". Check out the horn arrangements on that bitch! It still gives me chills.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 04:38 (twenty years ago)

just put it on actually, and it still thrills. How great is "Ventilator Blues"?? Was that Taylor's only writing credit with the group? Shit, no wonder he left. Just imagine if they'd allowed him more input post-'Exile'. They could have been as good as Little Feat!!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

I can't keep up with his releases -- there are too many of them. I recommend "Letters" very highly (I don't think it was pressed on vinyl, though).

i bought the vinyl of Lucifer's Friend to replace my worn out mp3s. i feel slightly guilty about it.

also bought Rod Stewart's "Blonde's Have More Fun" (DO YOU THINK I'M SEXAY?) and Stevie Nick's "Bella Donna" (EDGE OF SEVENTEEN) and Lee Michael's "S/T". i originally bought it because it was sampled numerous times, but it's actually a really good soulful rock album.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 5 November 2005 23:24 (nineteen years ago)
