1st four albums in consecutive order while I was working in the garden today... back to work on Monday after a three month furlough...

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Ah yessss, ze Cült roolz!!! Listening to a lot of it myself as of late. They finally - after decades - have a record deal again, with Frontiers, that spaghetti elephants' graveyard for all hard and melodic rock. Among us Europeans: Intellectualism and American arena rock generally don't mix, but BÖC at least came close!  :mrgreen:

And which other band has taken on the thorny subject of marital flatulence? "I know you'll soon be married and you want to know where wind comes from ..." :mrgreen: Hey ... hey ... hey ... This might even give Dave's old methane flame Gwyneth ideas ...

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

And I love Joe's incessant bending bass notes here, steal it all the time!

Like most people, I remember the Climax Blues Band mostly for Couldn't Get It Right, their untypical freak disco hit.

Man, they could really cook live, this beats all other versions I know of the song:

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

Yes now is an ideal time for escaping. My brother in California will be having a family outing on their sail boat to Catalina island while I'll have to content myself with the backyard pool. Wonder if he'll be listening to this on the open water?



Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

So you like excellent music?

How grossly conventional.  8)

I'm heavily influenced right now by the Ron Howard Beatles documentary--Eight Days a Week.  It seemed very accurate and realistic to me.  Showed what life was really like for them in the midst of Beatlemania.  I've known about it for some time, but just now have been able to see it because as far as I know it's only available on Hulu.

Watching some earlier Hee Haw reruns when Barbi Benton was a cast member. She has a good voice but being Hefner's girlfriend had its career advantages. And those Playboy spreads!

Ah, the 70s!  :P Is that song autobiographical for Barbi?
