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!

Nice. Spirit was 1 of my Mom’s favorite bands. Clear memories of listening to the Dr Sardonicus album on 8 track in her Cutlass when I was maybe 10. Mom had spectacular taste.

It's nature's way of telling you...something's wrong...

One of my better half's favorite albums for road trips.

Dr. Sardonicus, Spirit, is quite the listen.

On the road between Wisconsin and northern Indiana on a late Friday night in the summer...Lightening, and coming up on Goshen...American Graffiti...  late teens driving slowly around the center of town...cruising...then listening to Dark Side of the Moon.

She was playing Flatt and Scruggs once and I apparently disparaged it somehow and she took me through everything that made what they were doing great. That is parenting

My wife recently disparaged a Son House track in the car. 

25 years and she doesn’t get me.      :(

Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, David Grisman, Sam Bush, Kentucky Fried Bluegrass back in the 80's in Louisville...  And a fun band called Hot Rize...  Was like the first time to see color TV.

Saw an excellent throwback triple-bill last Saturday night: Dinosaur Jr., The Flaming Lips, and Weezer as the headliner.

Thoughts?

Dino Jr/J Mascis was the single best musician of the night hands down, and it didn't appear that he was trying that hard. He only spoke to the audience once, stating "You can call me Joseph." Let his guitar do the talking while standing side stage unlit.

Weezer kinda sucked for the first half hour (though the audience was there for them). Then they broke into three or four Pinkerton songs... better. Then they finished by playing their entire Blue Album in order. Which was nice! And fun! So my wife was in heaven and I didn't have to pretend to be happy.

The Flaming Lips? Love them and never had seen them live. Wayne Coyne's wobbly voice was in surprisingly clean form (he's getting kinda old), they demanded to be liked, the theatrics were hilarious (30 ft dancing blow up pink robots during Yoshimi), and the music was varied and just plain wonderful. 

So if you've never listened to the Flaming Lips, play The Soft Bulletin immediately. You'll curse yourself for having missed it for all of your life ... and be glad you finally found it:

RIP to the great Kris Kristofferson. If you’re just sort of familiar with his name or that he wrote Me and Bobby McGee or some old movie he was in, you need to check out his Wikipedia page. It doesn’t even look real. That guy led 1of the all-time lives. All American college athlete. Rhodes Scholar. Army Ranger. Flew helicopters in Vietnam. Grammy winning artist. Oscar nominated actor. Country music Hall of Fame. Wrote a million great songs. Political activist. Unbelievable.

Been a fan from the beginning. Had the privilege to see him at the old Rivolli theatre on 10th Street in Indianapolis in the early 70's. I think. It was a long time ago and my respect for him only grew from there. Living a long life is bittersweet in the sense that you get to experience so much but at the same time you lose so much.

Came across this today. “This Could Be Texas” is the debut album of a British band called English Teacher, and this is a simply fantastic record. Came out a few months ago and I guess you could call it post punk if you insisted on labeling it, but that doesn’t cover it. Every song starts as 1 thing and then evolves into something else and yet never does anything feel disjointed or unfocused. It’s really good musically, love the percussion, and the singer is a woman named Lily Fontaine and she has a really unique delivery. Big, big thumbs up.

Oh wow...this is absolutely excellent!

It sounds like Regina Spektor (on a day she's not trying too hard to be clever) and Radiohead had a baby, and threw in a bunch of bass lines from The Cure. Great production, consistently really interesting without being at all self-important, super-cool chord overlays yet melodic and fun. 

A winner for sure.

The fact that the most iconic backing vocal imaginable on arguably the greatest rock song ever was done in the middle of the night by a pregnant woman in her jammies is my new favorite thing.And the iso is jaw-dropping. You probably did ok if Mick Jagger is giggling while listening.

Apple Music labels them an Indie band -- lol

RIP to the great Quincy Jones. A freaking Titan. Directly influenced every genre of modern music. One of the most talented dudes ever.

Ok, who knew Mongolian metal was a thing? I did not until daughter #1 introduced me to this. 2 things: 1) Not sure if it’s exactly good, but have heard much worse, the combo of the heaviness and throat singing is something. 2) Unlike most metal bands who are just obviouly posers, if you encounter these dudes you just back the F up.

Sad to hear that bandleader, composer and saxophonist Lou Donaldson has passed.  'Known as “Sweet Poppa Lou” Donaldson was the final surviving member of the original Art Blakey quintet that in 1954 introduced “hard bop” into the growing jazz lineage of classification. He also stands as a pioneer of soul jazz, helping to shape the genre by merging bebop with blues, gospel, and R&B elements. Known for his rich, soulful tone and groove-oriented sound, Donaldson made jazz more accessible and danceable, paving the way for the soulful, funky styles that followed. His innovative approach, particularly on albums like Alligator Bogaloo and Blues Walk..."  Also, Roy Hanes has passed.  Listening to both right now.  Check the link:https://www.dailykos.com/story/2024/11/17/2286146/-Black-Music-Sunday-Thank-you-Roy-Haynes

Never heard of this guy -- and he's from Indiana. 

I’m the words that’ll hit ya; it’ll get ya where you're going so you never go there alone
I’m the melody glued to the memory that you can’t shake when it comes on

Wow
