For some odd reason that I cannot explain, lately I have been listening to a lot of Nico solo albums.

Nothing like an emotionless German chamber singer model with her harmonium to get the motor running! Lol

Listening to Nico by choice could plausibly be labeled self-harm.

Wow, would assume that’s what you play 10 mins to close to get everyone gone.

Maybe you actual players around here knew what a Chapman Stick was. I did not. Can’t get over the purity of the tone. Incredible. What a pleasure to listen to.

Jeff Buckey’s Grace was released on this day in 1994. IMO the best album of the 90’s. Not sure Buckley would have ever been huge based on his iconoclastic instincts and how hard his catalogue and tastes cut against the grain. But what a freaking talent. I can count on 2 hands how many songs I love as much as this one.

As a guitar guy I'll say I like the two-Telecaster guitar sound. I have the same black/silver Tele as the guy on the right (along with a Strat). Single coil pickup but has excellent range, great guitar, see it in rock but also across a range of genres.

In Old Town! That place is a must see if you're ever in Scotland.

I thought that I saw Samanth Fish play the stick.  But I can't verify it.  She did play her cigar box guitar, though.  Wracking my brain for who I saw play the stick.    Hmmm...

Alright, the day has gotten miles better. Just bought tickets to see the great Bob Mould doing a solo electric show on the 22nd at a wonderful little venue called Delmar Hall. Seats maybe 500 and has spectacular sound. Dude is sixty couple and still one of the true bada$$es in music. Great, great songwriter. Smoking guitarist. Relentless iconoclast. Love that guy. An all-time favorite.

Sort of fun primer list if someone wants to dig into punk a bit but not too deep. A little pat, and calling Nevermind a punk album almost negates the whole thing, but it gets major kudos for including the debut Bad Brains album, which is a stone killer. Seriously, Bad Brains’ 1st 3 albums are as good as anyone’s.

All right, I am now the proud owner of 2 tickets to the see the great Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds April 28 in Chicago. Never thought I’d get that chance. Nothing bad can happen today.

First Bob Mould and now this?!!?

I gotta move to a better part of the country.

 

PS: The new MJ Lenderman album is fantastic.

It’s called The Wild God Tour. Only Cave is naming his tour that. Dude’s awesome.

And a guy I worked with mentioned the Lenderman album. I have to check that one.

A friend just sent me this version of Stuck In The Middle With You from Gerry Rafferty's posthumous album Rest In Blue. I love the guitar and different arrangement

Never liked that song at all, but, yeah, that is miles better than the album cut. Good catch.

Despite every British artist pretty much ever going on about how great Rory Gallagher was, I’d never listened to a note of the guy. No reason, just hadn’t. For lack of anything better to listen to this weekend I busted out 2 of his albums, Tattoo and Top Priority. Oh my God, what a bada$$. Unbelievable player. Great tone, Fantastic songs. Right in my wheelhouse. I am so pi$$ed off right now that I could have been listening to this guy for the last 40 years. My freaking loss. Supposedly he was an all time live guy and he’s got 2 live albums that I will wear out this weekend.

Here’s the lost band I’ve been full time into this week: Spirit.

Great guitars, great songwriting, great production. Three excellent albums and then broke apart and went to crap. Bless you Randy California!
