I am enjoying Alice in Chains' album Dirt. Alternative title suggestion - half the radio hits of the 90s rock radio list.

Listened to some 80s hairbands today, namely
Dokken - Alone Again Whitesnake - Bad Boys Def Leppard - Run Riot Alice Cooper - I Am The Future (from Class of 1984) Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got
Played these while sharing some pain on chess.com....love the blitz games

I don't know if you guys do YouTube reaction channels at all, and I normally don't, but I am a huge fan of Lost in Vegas. Two probably mid-thirties ish hip hop fans from Vegas with open minds who try to take on all kinds of genres. They are doing an Alice in Chains marathon and coming off a Black Sabbath marathon. They are amazing. Strongly recommend. It's like hearing your stuff for the first time seeing someone else appreciate your favorite stuff.

Ambient nature noises while I work to try to create the illusion I am not in my house for the xth week in a row. My kids shouting and playing in the other room somewhat ruins the illusion, though.

Seeing as how most of New Retro Wave and Luigi Donatello's output is instrumental, it is nice to hear a song with actual lyrics now and then

I'm transferring some tapes of Wavy Gravy's 50th birthday bash... there is some music by Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, and the last recording from a hospital room by folk singer-songwriter Kate Wolf. I have listened and learned a bit more of Wolf who died in 1986 shortly after this event. I didn't know of her before these tapes, always something new yet old to learn about! She seems to have been a very good guitarist as well (shades of blues-folk artist Jo Ann Kelly).

Seeing as this is written (in private emails) I will drop it in here in case it might have interest to someone. I am happy to share oddball stuff I have either as flac, wav, or mp3s where not prohibited in some way. I have a short want list of mostly obscure/old folk.
I'm also sorting through some Nick Drake home and studio tape demos that have been speed corrected and minimally cleaned. Someone more advanced than what i do has worked on them. I can compare to earlier versions that were released. It gets a bit tedious (flashback here to Tex Williams song) after awhile though so I have to space it out in listening sessions or I risk getting tired of Nick Drake. I think these all must have come out via Gabrielle. The final tape is going to be hard with various takes of Black Eyed Dog, yikes! Most people know of Drake from his Pink Moon being in a car commercial I think. There are a number of Jackson C. Frank songs on home demos... Frank was a major influence on guitar playing then alongside Davy Graham. Nick does a good job on them and I can compare them to some Sandy Denny recordings from the same time. There is one song in French, maybe an original, which I wonder might have something to do with the Francoise Hardy collaborations which never came off? I feel inadequate to process this kind of intense Nick Drake history in such volume, to be honest alternate takes are mostly indistinguishable to me, except maybe one first take where he mumbles some of the lyrics as he's focusing on the guitar at that pass. There are some I think unreleased or unique things... Robert Kirby's attempt at arranging River Man. I can tell why some things were rejected. I find I like a bare bones Poor Boy as much or more as the released on with backing vocals and instruments... but Nick Drake like most singer-songwriters can get very samey after a few cuts in a row and they tried to spice him up for the second album. They did the same with a Duncan Browne and a Pretty Things album, and I almost always prefer the pre-overdubs versions, Duncan was a lot like Drake and was buried under even minimal additions, the pretty Things with orchestration was mostly just a mismatch, didn't enhance or add anything on most tracks. Now I'm thinking about my favorite Bob Marley & the Wailers which was live at the Record Plant studio for KSAN radio; so much more powerful. I should probably look for an original Jamaican tapes version of Catch A Fire! Joe Boyd also did this with Sandy & the Strawbs' 1967 album when it was first re-released on CD. I kept my old LP, but Dave Cousins finally put out a proper CD set on his own label. I was surprised that wasn't major worldwide front page news actually, I was so excited more people could hear that stuff! I must've bought all my original Sandy LPs just before they skyrocketed luckily. Got them all from a fellow Canadian nut in perfect condition. Most people on this side still only know of Sandy Denny mainly from The Who's Tommy bit and that one Led Zeppelin track... and then maybe Fairport Convention. It's kind of like how Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is almost unknown here while Albatross was on regular radio play in England for ages.

Rewatched both Hackers and Mortal Kombat recently, this song is an absolute gem

It's a beautiful sunny day here in South-East England and I'm chilling out listing to some classic Bakersfield country on my own homemade compilation, Greetings From Bakersfield, California: An Introduction To The Bakersfield Sound. Our own Slam_Bradley had a hand in suggesting the track listing for this compilation and he sure picked some great music. *sigh* I want to go to America again...
