$23 Adventure Time

I gave C-lab2021 very explicit instructions this afternoon, and boy did he deliver a doozie of an adventure time. Those instructions were "pick albums by title that Bottle would say "i don't care what it turns out to be, i can't not buy that."

$23 dollars later he somehow picked a freshman, a sophomore, a junior, and a graduation montage by total coincidence. 

Now, i'm not one of those people who won't tell you they voted for Biden because A) that's not shocking at all and you knew i was going to, B) i've been begging you all to come assassinate me for years, and C) i don't want Trump to be president but Bruce Willis still hasn't time traveled back to correct it (yay! a 12 Monkeys reference). 

I also don't want to just blow through them all in one go, even though we all know i totally do want to, and also not be near a tv or radio from now until next Thursday. We'll compromise and do the next 4 posts as a serial. If you want to get a head start on me, or just want to know what i would have listened to, here's the list of albums:

Life's Hard and Then You Die

Cargo

Pretzel Logic

Der Kommissar

Look for part one later tonight as i adamantly not care what percentage of precincts have reported. I still have to go to work and receive freight either way.

P.s. you're totally allowed to watch it and care, but i can't function like a human being if i do. I know my limits better than anyone.

Part 1

The 4 Seasons - The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette

Image
This might be my longest  album review ever. But i swear a couple times, so it's worth the read ;) How could i possibly mention Jefferson Airplane, The 4 Seasons, and Frank Zappa in the same context? Zappa said "this is rediculous" and a few years later The 4 Seasons said "you know what, Frank is right. This IS ridiculous." To which Jefferson Airplane said, "Oh. Ok. Got it." The real question is: which one is the most transgressive? Zappa said stop fighting, you look like idiots. Jefferson Airplane said i guess if love and community is a bad thing, then sure we're criminals and we'd be happy to move out into the fields and live peaceful lives without your garbage, let us go already. The 4 Seasons said hold my champagne for a moment. In 1969, The 4 Seasons released the single most ironic, acidic, extravagant, and downright befuddling album ever created, The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Zappa was accused of writing "shitty doo-w...

Welcome to my blog, and my record collection.

This is a blog about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal facebook page. Over the last two months it has become quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what i think is a real art form, the album. It needs a more permanent home. Some of my reviews are positive, some negative. They might not be what you expect from album reviews, but i hope you at least find them entertaining. For the most part i do very little research, and they tend to be train of thought reactions rather than calculated essays. If nothing else, know that i'm really listening to them and whether they are amazing or abysmal i want you to go listen to them too.  I'll start migrating the 60+ i've written so far over here in the next few days, and hopefully get to the point where i just start writing them here. I'd probably even take suggestions if you're just dying to know my tho...

J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame

Image
Speaking of New Wave, I just listened to the penultimate J. Geils Band album, Feeze Frame, and it is awesome. You know the title track and Centerfold, but i highly doubt you know the album closer, Piss On The Wall.  It's not even really reviewable, to be honest, it's Freeze Frame, couple songs, Centerfold, couple more songs, and Piss On The Wall. I guess i could rehash what Post-Punk/New Wave New Wave was all about (actual dance club Rock & Roll with quirkily expensive synth leads), but you know The Cars and The Motels and Talking Heads. Believe it or not, the Ramones were considered New Wave rather than Punk in the beginning. Now we'd call them Pop Punk, but the point is that Rock in the late 70s existed on a spectrum from Corporate Cock to Nerdly Neurotic Pocket Protector, and in 1980/81 J. Geils Band said hold my beer, I gotta take a leak, how's this for "radio-friendly, twitchy nerd Rock with huge sing-along choruses?" Freakin' awesome, dude, freak...
