    Getting my INXS on

    INXS-Welcome to Wherever You Are

    c47267ds203.jpg


    The last of the best. Mostly experimental as they are trying to find an audience as there sound hadn't changed much since the beginning, but the music scene had. As much as I like the early stuff and of course Kick. This is easily the most enjoyable and overlooked album they put out. They are stretching and experimenting on this one. Once again it proves JD can't even come close to filling Hutchence's shoes. This has been in the bargain bin for years, I bought it for $2.99 several years ago. What a bargain!

    Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive! [LIVE]

    B000002GL4.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    Double LP.

    It has been 25+ years since this LP has been out of the sleeves. I had forgotten how good of a live album it is. It was the best selling live album of it's time (and may still be). I sorta had it in the back of my mind that it was more teenybopper fluff than rock (big hair teen idol and all). I WAS MISTAKEN! 30 years after the fact the music still holds up well. The ex Humble Pie guitarist can flat out rock. He was definitely in his element in concert. " Do You Feel Like We Do?" is the last cut on the album and is probably best known for his use of the "voicebox" but it really displays his guitar playing talent. "Frampton Comes Alive" will certainly get played again before another 25 years rolls around.

    PS: I understand there was an A&M remastered CD iissued in 99 that is excellent and also a MFSL gold disc that is even better.

    agreed 100% growing up in the 70's... this was THE album to listen to. Yes there were other good albums out.. but they weren't live and did't offer the same clear fidelity that this one did. I just picked it up on DVD-audio.

    It's sweet. one of the top ten best albums of all time for sure. ;)

    The Raveonettes

    Chain Gang of Love

    This is a Danish duo that borrows heavily from early Motown, the infamous Specter Wall of Sound, '50's themes such as hot rods, riding with the pack, juvenile delinquency, etc.

    All with enough feedback and distortion to choke a mule.

    The Ramones could have easily headed in this direction....
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Just rolled in from the Mayall gig. DYN-O-MITE evening of some of the best blues to be had. John signed the "Beano" album cover for me - right over Clapton's face (which gives me great joy.) :D

    At 73, John shows no sign of slowing down. It just gets better and better. Buddy opened the show with an **** bumpin' cover of "Shakey Ground". They're headed back to the studio next week to continue work on a Freddie King tribute album, due to release early '07. Can't wait!

    I'm in a small town in Ohio and new to this sight. I can't believe I've found a group that still plays vinyl, I'm an outcast here because of my oldschool ways. I'm listening to a band called the Planet P project, album title: Pink World, Anyone ever heard of it? It's fantastic through a pair of sda srs 2's:D

    The Cars - Candy-O - LP

    B000002GWX.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V51394134_.jpg

    After the artwork of Vargas was discussed the other night and this cover was mentioned...I just had to get out the LP and give it a listen. Good Stuff!

    Def Leppard - Pyromania - CD

    B000001F2V.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    I had to have this CD from the first time I herad "Photograph" on the radio. "Rock Rock" , "Pyromania" and "Rock of Ages" aren't to shabby either! Can't forget "Foolin'" "Too Late For Love" or "Coming Under Fire". What the hell....It's a great R&R album start to finish .

    Jimmy Buffett - "You had to be there" - Live double LP

    B000002O4B.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    Before the Hawaiian Shirts, beach balls, parrotheads, ect... His first live concert album. An absoulutely great version of "God's Own Drunk" along with all the classics from his early albums.

    The album title is "You had to be there".....and the cool thing is....

    I WAS! The Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA on August 9, 1978. A little college graduation present to myself. It was the first of many Jimmy Buffett concerts I've attended (with more to come). Like much of my LP collection, these two LPs have not been out of the sleeves in probably 15 years. It's an album for it's time with lots of references to things such as pot and cocaine that you would never hear in his concerts today (which is probably for the best). A good album with better memories (at least the stuff I can remember is good).

    ^Workin' on it...

    Was '78 Buffet's "broken leg" tour? I saw him Fall of '78 in Austin in UT's "Superdrum". Worst seats I've ever had for a concert (high balcony virtually even with the front of the stage), yet he was able to make me feel like he was performing just for me. The man just has a gift for relating to an audience.
