Metal Dad - Hardcore for Life

Just Step Yourself Outside And Look Up At The Stars Above

 or Play of the Evening
The Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach

Of all the post-Duane albums I like this one the most. It's only technically post-Duane since he's all over the live stuff.

Is It Really Fair To Blame Him For George Winston

or any number of pianists who recorded albums of meandering around in the key of C for what seemed like an eternity?

or Play of the Morning
Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert


I was in the mood for quiet and soothing this morning so I forsook my usual fare of grindcore and powerviolence.

 The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa
It's been a Dead soundtrack tonight as I fold laundry and watch Boise State and LA Tech football on ESPN. Along with Anthem of the Sun, this is one of my favorite Dead albums.

More Women With Guns

 I've been on a real Diamanda Galas binge lately. I remember getting Plague Mass from the local library once and putting it on in the car while the Light of My Life was riding in the car with me. It scared the daylights out of her. Sometimes Galas scares me as well. One of her recent recordings, Defixiones, Will and Testament is dedicated to the forgotten and erased of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Anatolian Greek genocides which occurred between 1914 and 1923.

It's My Life (cont.)...

 Everyone is out at school or with friends, the Light of My Life is in bed and I'm watching the Packers-Vikings game while listening to Anthony Braxton's For Alto.

 Is that a killer combination or what? I think it is.
