Just cleaning up the past a bit…
Peter Frampton – “Frampton Comes Alive!” Sooo bored with it a month or two after it came out but it’s really not that bad.
Nirvana – “MTV Unplugged” Specially for Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
Kaiser Chiefs – “Yours Truly, Angry Mob”
Sweet – “Desolation Boulevard” Keep Darkness – I have the real thing.
Talking Heads – “77” and “Buildings and Food” Necessary.
THEN one of our crew comes back from his holiday home in Scotland and returns with a 160 gig external hard drive FILLED with music one of his nephews put together for him. That 160 gigs of free music has spent the last week travelling through our little band of Westerners and I just finished cherry-pickin’. What fun. It was mainly comprised of ‘greatest hits’ collections, but music is music. Now I finally have fulfilled me need for Alice Cooper, America, Johnny Cash, Buffalo Springfield, Don Henley’s “Building The Perfect Beast”, Hall & Oates, The KLF, The Arctic Monkeys, Erykah Badu’s “Mama’s Gun”, and the best of The Last Poets. Throw in some tracks from Chris Rock, Jaco Pastorious , the best of The Byrds AND ZZ Top… and I think I’m pretty well done with my formative years.
Now Where Is The NEW Music?

Both albums are excellent! It’s jazz but a little more. Reminds me at times of John McLaughlin, at times I thought I heard Steely Dan’s ‘Aja’ and at times it’s very traditional. Good sense of passion and composition in both records. Thanks!
