I’m looking forward to the Thick As reissue, my copy’s running some mileage. I hope they get it right. That Steven Wilson Aqualung re, they got it right.


Gary Myrick And The Figures / S-T
1980 Epic

Both sides. Holy Myrick! 😎

I’m also a War On Drugs fan, especially their last 3 albums and I’ve streamed KV’s earlier stuff, including w/Courtney Barnett. I think he’s now at a higher level. What’d your sister think?

Steve, his music is a kind of dreamy, hypnotic, psychedelic pop that sometimes has a hint of War On Drugs—which KV was a founder of and a buddy of Adam G.
Some of the instrumentation is oddly creative, I mean that in the positive. The SQ is very good. I can easily sit and listen straight through all 4 sides which is what I did today, it’s that engaging to me.
I’d be surprised if your sister was in any way disappointed in the show, at least as much as I was to be unable to attend his PDX performance here last month.

@sbank I also have Fantasy Girls, Lines, decent enough but as you said not at the same level…
Definitely not as good on the cover art 😎

Been playing this double LP a little too much lately. Life is good!

From Wiki:
"Poor Man's Moody Blues" was written after a journalist angered the band by referring to Barclay James Harvest as a "poor man's Moody Blues".[2] In response, guitarist John Lees wrote a song which sounded like the Moody Blues song "Nights in White Satin", but in fact was cleverly not the same - the words would not fit. Justin Hayward was not pleased; meeting him years later, bassist Les Holroyd apologised for it.

@spiritofradio 👍

That Charlie album just grabs me, one of just a few I own where I almost always listen to both sides instead of one and then going on to the next record. I know you’re a fan James, of BJH too (Poor Man’s Moody Blues, haha!). Good stuff!

Motown Collected, double LP
2021 Music On Vinyl #2948

Highly enjoyable assortment of Motown hits. Decent or better SQ, depending on the cut. Makes me regret not collecting Motown back when. Just a fun album!

The Police / Outlandos d’Amour 
1978 A&M

Hadn’t played this in a long time, forgot how good it is—performance and sonics.

Gregg Allman / Laid Back

Fabulous SQ on these records tonight!
