June 1, 2012 - Listening Project

Today's selections are:
Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits - The Columbia Records 1 cent version. I remember ripping this off from my brother. There's something no one misses. Columbia House Record Club vehemently tracking you down for 10 cassettes or CD's. Trust me children of the digital age, this company would do anything to find you "IRL".
Earlimart - "The Avenues - E.P. - Palm Pictures. There's a town called Earlimart by Bakersfield.
Baculum - "My Friends Became Junkies" - Three Beads of Sweat. This is still in the wrapper. Sorry guys.
Urge Overkill - "The Supersonic Storybook" - Touch and Go. The outside looks very partied on. Disc is pristine. I really used to listen to this A LOT.
BTW, Happy 75 th National Doughnut Day!! The first Friday of June!! Now the Doughnut is as old as the Golden Gate Bridge! They both don't look a day over 50!!

It's Been A Long Time Since I've Rock and Rolled

So recently, I moved. As the years march on, moving becomes exponentially harder and generally more painful. I toyed with the idea of putting my music in the bigger storage unit included in the new rent. The music ended up staying out of storage, but because I made myself handle every piece of my collection, I decided I have to use it if I'm going to keep it. I will take 2 or 3 CD's with me when I go to the office. Then I will tell you what they are. Today's selections are: RADIAL SPANGLE - Syrup Macrame (Atlantic/Beggar's Banquet), JOHN WHITNEY - Fuzzy Math (self release), DIRTY THREE (Touch and Go Records) Sorry for the crappy picture.
