Toadroller

One of my favorite Kinks songs. Nope. My favorite Kinks song.

Listened to that last night.

Includes the single Patio Lanterns!

Some rocking Pretenders.

My brother pointed me to them last week. A little bit of everything in there. The Cult, Talking Heads, Quiet Riot, The Sweet, Devo, Deep Purple...

Strobe light!

Thanks Johnny. I picked up my two favorites- Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. Of note, not all the 180g Beatles there have been given the Giles Martin treatment. I also picked up a Dark Side of the Moon, as I've never had it on Vinyl. I'm a child of the 80s, not the 70s.

For some unknown cosmic reason, this little ditty from my college days in the late 80s in Boston* popped into my head. I hadn't heard it for decades but could sing along to every little line. Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for The Fools! * for those who care, I went to the University of Dayton for 2.5 years, met this girl**, took a year off, and then finished at Northeastern in Boston while staying at my brother's dorm at Bentley College in Waltham. Of note, he ran the Campus Activities Board in those times and brought in The Fools to open up for screaming comic Sam Kinesson. I got to work the "security" detail, which amounted to standing in front of the front row of a two foot riser, free "SECURITY" t-shirt, and getting screamed at point-blank by Sam himself. "AAAUUUGGGHHHHH! AUUUUGGGGHHHH!" ** Mrs. Toadroller.

Some great jazzy pop and audiophile-grade sonics here. You’ll recognize Breakout.

I give up.

My favorite Metallica.

Why yes, do tell.

And in the end... you can watch it again:

Remind me of Jim Backlund designs:

Watched the first. Listened to a Cheap Trick album today and this jumped out at me from a song.

Funkiest funky-funk,

Buddy of mine had a 72 Skylark with Cragars and air shocks in the back, and an 8 track up front (in 85!!!) and this album plus an Eagles album. high school. How many times did I risk death? Every time I got in his car.

Rubber biscuit! some serious hum going on in the recording. Think it was Duck Dunn’s bass amp.

Enjoying it right now with some of Wisconsin’s finest:

DL-301 mk2-> DP47 -> Nakamichi CA5 -> Aragon 4004 -> HSU HB1mk2 + VTF2 mk5 -> my ears -> my soul. Canadian excellence to Japanese moving coils to Japanese servo-controlled decks to Japanese precision control to ‘Murican iron to Korean sonic air transducers. Interesting chain with fabulous results.

For pretty obvious reasons today
