Black Pumas


Bottle, are you ok?

Gnnnnhh.

You're drooling there boss, you ok? BOTTLE!

Hhnggff. Shut up, C-turtle, i'm listening.

What are you listening to?

I said shut up!

.....

Oh, man! That was even better than i thought it would be. What an amazing album. Oh, hey guys, been here long?

About 20 minutes, just watching you drool and bob your heard back and forth. What are we in for tonight?

Glad you asked, Sandra. Well, previous Bottle heard a song by a band and thought "yes please, more of that!" So he went over to the googlemabox and asked the nice people at Plaid Room Records to please send him a copy of Black Pumas. Those nice folks in Loveland, Ohio wrapped it in cardboard and handed it to some other nice people at a Post Office who planed, trained, and/or automobiled it over to the Bunker of Beef here in Iowaland. It arrived in tip top shape, and oh my it's so pretty.

I of course, being the unabashed audioglut that i am, took the first available moment to enjoy it in all of its glory. And, it is glorious. I may not be a lot of things, but knower of what i will like in the near future is not not not one of them. They also sent me a nice postcard with a picture of their dog and a thank you message on the back, and i certainly won't hesitate to send them more money at some point in the future. 


See how pretty that red/black split looks sitting on the table? Now, please allow me to share it with you...

Skip?

Oh, yeah, that is good.

Sandra?

Mmmmmmmm.

Compy?

They produced this themselves?

Oh yes, the very much did.

Wowzers!

Gladys!?

No talky talk down there, play it again and be deathly silent.

WHAT WAS THAT?

Oh, hi GREGORY. Did you like it?

THERE ARE NO WORDS. PLAY IT AGAIN LIKE GLADYS REQUESTED.

Ok, don't mind if i do. I guess the verdict is 12 thumbs up. You're wasting your life if you haven't heard Black Pumas. Well, what are you waiting for? It's everywhere music can be played. Go hear it for yourself.

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

Pat Benatar - Seven The Hard Way

Image
I don't know about you, but i love Pat Benatar. Yes, that's also her debut album with the single most underrated song in the universe (My Clone Sleeps Alone) in the background, but that's just a generic non-self-titled debut album. We're jumping ahead to her 6th album, Seven The Hard Way, because that, ladies and gentle germs, is how you kalaidescope a concept. Not one, not two, not three, but 4 protien-packed layers to this metaphor. You don't really need to know the overly complicated rules of Craps to know that A) it's gambling, B) "the hard way" refers to rolling doubles, so good luck rolling two 3.5s, and C) you're going to lose, one way or another. It's a joke, but more importantly, it's Pat Benatar and the roll out is Sex As A Weapon, so the innuendo is not intended to be subtle. Wait wait wait, that's only 3, Bottle, where's 4? You're right, last but not least, side B opens with Seven Rooms of Gloom, a Holland-Dozier-Hol
