Spinning this morn
Picked this up a few weeks back.
They were playing it in the local record store on the day I was there. It grabbed me by the ears, so I snagged the copy they had.

The Tubes were my first or second concert ever (they opened for The Starship at the Napa Town and Country Fair; I also saw The Beach Boys around that time, but can’t recall whom I saw first).
Anyway, I saw The Tubes when they were touring The Completion Backwards Principle, which was kind of when they started slipping into more accessible synth pop (at least in terms of their sound; their lyrics were always on the avante garde side of things).
Of this album, I was only familiar with the radio “hits” “White Punks On Don’t” and “What Do You Want From Life?”.
Man, the whole album is a brilliant art rock pastiche!

HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS - The Cocteau Twins
Upgraded the vinyl setup. Snagged a used pro-ject debut carbon Evo with an ortofon super om20 cartridge and stylus. Grabbed a cork mat at Randy's today and a few albums to add to the collection. Jimmy Smith root down is playing right now. Started the afternoon sesh off with some les McCann, and Herbie Hancock is up next.

Nice, that player is what I have. Im tempted to upgrade the cartdrige for no good reason and the reviews say you got a nice one. Never heard of Les Mcann, checking him out now.
This morning i started the day listening to the Riverside mono reisuue of mulligan meets monk. I feel pretentious writing that. Im listening to a lot of Diamond Jubilee recently which is 3 fackin records long. Dookey you have that one? All three barely fit in its thin sleeve, ha, such a low budget release. Dookey you may have recommended Cindy here but I dont think so? Not sure where I heard it first.
Dude at the record store was pumped that I grabbed the Les McCann and recommended another Les McCann album that I listened to driving around today. Swiss movement. Only got a few songs in, but it's clear I need to explore Les McCann's library a bit more. Good stuff.

I do not have Diamond Jubilee.
I learned about Cindy Lee here on the forum, but beyond a cursory listen haven’t really delved into it.
I liked what I heard and was bummed that by the time I was turned onto it CL had already done a show in Oakland and then announced no more touring. Bummer.

Been on a SLY and the FAMILY STONE kick the past week or so.
Started with Small Talk (1974). Side two drops the banger “Loose Booty.” Beastie Boy fans will rejoice hearing this jam.
Moved on to Fresh (1973)
RHCP fans will see the connection here.
Today I dug up There’s a Riot Goin’ On. Never realized how deep and double entendres filled many of the songs are lyrically, often playing out dark themes against upbeat music for a jarringly booty shaking t
I've streamed this one a bunch, and today they had a copy at the record store.
I like Herbie Hancock.
And then, I have had this for ages on CD, and when the lady putting albums on the shelf placed it right in front of me as I perused the Tom Petty selections, I knew I wanted a nice vinyl record copy. This album still makes the hair on my arms stand up when I really turn the volume up and focus on it.
