    Canonic Albums by Artists Who You Love and Revere But For Some Reason This One Bypasses You Almost Completely

    some of macca’s best stuff on sgt peppers tho: the lovely meandering verse melody on ‘she’s leaving home’, ‘fixing a hole’ (which gets being stoned as a lightening, a lyric mood, ie when it works), ‘a day in the life’ which is epochal, one of the songs of the era (& a genuine collaboration with...

    Notorious Byrd Brothers No good reason why I don’t get this album, except perhaps all my boomer elders kept telling me ‘it’s just PLUM for you’ in my teens when I told them I was into ‘Forever Changes’, ‘Strange Days’ and so forth, and that put me on the spot too much and I stiffened against...

    ah but 1999‘s the one innit (with Dirty Mind) more clubby, dj-friendly with longer tracks, 2x12” for better sound more bass‘n’space, edible sour-sweet synths, still with pop nous all the way fine semi-forgotten singles ‘automatic’ ‘let’s pretend we’re married’ top-drawer album tracks ‘all...

    pillow - also ‘somebody to love’ and ‘she has funny cars’, but Baxter’s not just grace (tho she great on it of course, ‘rejoyce’ etc) but the kaukonen-cassady-dryden axis at peak - a muso engine for sure but disruptive, eruptive, exultant. an unwieldy acid-rock wildride where everything somehow...

    hate to say it but ‘Solid Air’, I got totally stuck on ‘Sunday’s Child’, and then moved on to ‘Bless the Weather’, bits of ‘Inside Out’, ‘One World’, and then moved out of JM orbit (at least for now). others would be: Surrealistic Pillow (GET THEE TO BAXTER’S!) Sign O’ The Times (never heard...

    yeah whwh is a bore, but for the v great ‘I heard her call my name‘, velvets are totally over-rated nyc hipsters but I dig the s/t third v much. you like the band s/t with the brown cover then? didn’t think they were a ‘you’ kinda band at all.

    utter utter madness, ‘1970’ being one of the most incendiary and thrilling rock songs ever and by far the greatest thing they did! the bit when the sax hits with iggy screaming ifeelawight over and over in an eternally-recurring loop, yeah a sort of infernal Nietzschean affirmation that knows it...
