@slaw good call on the eyelids--in a parallel universe they’d be bigger than the beatles)
@bslon ever notice how good the only ones’ guitarist is?
today’s picks:
corey hanson, pale horse rider--a bit more restrained than my usual, but he’s a vg singer and will occasionally let his freak flag show
hoodoo gurus, magna cum louder--i’ve come around to thinking that this is actually their best record--less idiosyncratic and more radio-polished than their earlier, but the songs are consistently great
come, don’t ask don’t tell--this is just as good as better-remembered contemporaries like pavement and sonic youth. noisy, but they can play their instruments.

Anne Murray-A Country Collection Side 2
Ratt-Out Of The Cellar Side 1
Art Blakey-New York Scene(CJ 256) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Neil Diamond-Primitive Side 1
Jackie Moore-I’m On My Way Side 1
Paul Davis-Cool Night Side 1
Leos Janacek-Sinfonietta(Denon OX-7110-ND) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Tom Scott-Street Beat Side 2 SQ Audiophile
After cable switching/rotating my system SQ is vastly improving. Tough call between Scott/Janacek. Despite being slightly aggressive in SQ this overlooked jazz/fusion gem(Street Beat) takes the SQ crown. Another very solid Anne Murray recording that goes unnoticed by too many. "This Time Baby" one of the best disco singles!

Pylon - Box Set.
The best of the set is the raw Razz Tape disc. Don’t know how I missed these guys in the past - but they are my new obsession. I have no idea what they put in the water in Athens Georgia, but it’s been a constant hot spot for years.
