bang a gong!

i know i owe you guys a blog post on
my number 7 greatest artists ever…
but i took another little record store detour
up to ameoba on sunset yesterday
and wanted to share the loot:

marina & the diamonds- the family jewels.

i’ve been reading A LOT about this record lately
and her video has been making the rounds…
AND since i am a total sucker for the ladies who
make the sing-y sing and the rock-y rock,
i bought it without really hearing it.

crowded house- intriguer.

i LOVE crowded house.
neil finn pretty much oozes rad melodies.
this is the new one.
unfortunately, the title sounds like some sort of
probing sex wand…
and if i’ve ever used 3 words to NOT describe
past crowded house albums… those would be them.
but i haven’t listened to this one yet, so you never know.

lil wayne- tha carter III.

i am lil wayne illiterate.
but i’ve been playing ’forever’ by drake TO DEATH lately.
kanye, eminem and lil’ wayne on it…
and LW verses kinda rule.
my friend bruce tells me this is his best, hands down.
so here we are. hands down.

tom petty and the heartbreakers- long after dark. (VINYL)

TP is too good.

zz top- afterburner. (VINYL)

i was never really a fan of ‘eliminator.’
the big hit songs just didn’t do it for me all that much.
i was way into the 2nd tier hits from this record, like
‘rough boy’ and ’sleeping bag’

the cure- disintegration: remaster. (VINYL)

i’ve decided to re-buy all the cure records on vinyl
cause i want to sit in my bedroom and cry.

t. rex- electric warrior. (VINYL)

i saw a killer documentary on t. rex the other night.
well, honestly the documentary was kinda budget,
but it rekindled my love of these songs, and marc bolan.
i have this on cassette somewhere…
but the only real way to listen to it is on vinyl.

    i just discovered you on “spotify” and i can’t say i’m surprised to see you love crowded house. me too! :) (my fav band since 1986..) “intriger” is ok, better than time on earth, at least!
    anyway, i just emailed your management & booking person to request you come over to england to play (either the “12 bar club”- london or “the bedford”- balham, both very cool venues). the email to your management got bounced back. might want to look into that! :)
    see ya!

    I guess that is a good reason to buy The Cure on vinyl, albeit a little sad. I’d forgotten about Crowded House lately. Thanks for the reminder!
