Victim of the record bug since age five
Polyrock! Talking Heads-ish art rock from early 1980s. Band formed by Philip Glass. 2 LPs and 1 EP, then fell off the edge of the earth.

I wish I'd heard before yesterday that RT is touring and he did a couple of shows in the area last weekend.

Gene Clark - White Light
(1971, A&M) Monarch symbol in the deadwax




Nice. picks up where he left with the killer songs he wrote with The Byrds. Great playing and sound quality on this record, particularly like Chris Etheridge's bass.

I'm the Red Knight, by grant of the Black
Swap [sic]

Swap (and there should be one of those little circles over the "a") is two men, two women, two Brits, and two Swedes, playing great acoustical music. A blend of Celtic and Scandinavian traditions. I have three of their albums.

You guys that heard this 700 weren't hearing what these amps are capable of....it is a bit harsh...

Bachman Turner Overdrive - Bachman Turner Overdrive II
(1973, Mercury) G.K. in the deadwax, mastered by Gilbert Kong




a fun record but I'm skipping over Taking Care Of Business because I probably don't ever need to hear that song again. Recorded at Kaye-Smith Studios, Seattle.

Alton & Hortense Ellis at Studio One

One of my all time favorite albums. Great soulful ska/rocksteady/soul sounds throughout, with both trading vocals. Alton is deservedly a giant, but Hortense needs more attention, wonderful voice.
