I'll take you up on that, Randy. Don't know if I've ever heard Pink Moon.
Certainly a couple of beers will be due from me Cheers

I just woke up in my hotel room here with a large hangover to find the TV still tuned to MTV, blaring out a parade of Britney Spears hits. For a while I thought I had died and gone to hell!

listened to a bit of zappa though only via planet rock radio.
unusual melodies,some strange song titles & even stranger lyrics.

At this moment I am listening to

Bob Dylan - Rollin' and Tumblin'

from the rather excellent 'Modern Times', however since staring to type this message that song has rolled and tumbled away and I'm now listening to

John Coltrane - Blue Train

Two giants in two tracks. All we need now is a bit of Miles Davis followed by Richard Thompson and my weeekend will be complete.

Lomuamart, Pink Moon was his last release, he recorded it sitting on a chair facing the wall with no one present except the engineer, due to extream depression. Its a really haunting album, not one to listen to if your feeling depressed. You may top yourself....ha ha ha.... Neutral

Great songs and lyrics though.

Hi everybody! I'm back again after a 2 month hiatus, having my computer fixed (...really must lay off that porn...)
Might I recommend the brilliant Blind Faith's self titled 1969 release. If you like long drawn out jam sessions with solos aplenty but with great songs, its a real treat.
Its funny, as a real music nerd, the only time I really ever have time to listen to it these days is in the car, backwards and forwards to the builders yard and currently on my stereo is Metallica's Master Of Puppets from 1986. Thier best album!
Also, just off the top of my head...The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by The Band, Haitian Divorce by Steely Dan, Up The Junction by Squeeze, Couldn't Get It Right by The Climax Blues Band and Regurgitated Guts by Death......just a few of the tunes I'm loving at the mo'....oh and just for Randy, Disco Boy by the man Zappa! Cheers

Randy,
I've found all those six Nick Drake tracks I downloaded from Napster years ago. They sound good:
been smoking too long
man in a shed
northern sky
pink moon
hazy jane II and that one rare one
and another that that I'm not going to entitle.

After all the John Martyn I've been listening to, these songs go well together.
Chok dii.

"American Beauty" - The Greatful Dead.
Always did like that album. I can't spell vynl, but the record is sitting in my cupboard back home in London. I had it copied to cassette, but my wife managed to break the walkman I brought back 3 years ago on the bus from BKK.
So, a friend put it on my computer. So there, Gerry Garcia and Bob Wier.
Next up is a DVD of AC/DC - Bon Scott fronting the first disc.
Bring it on.
