5) The Eurythmics - Touch


I said across her nose, not up it! The Eurhythmics, Touch, the one with Who's That Girl, no less. Alright Mz. D. Are you playing a game here? 

Of course i am, Bottle. This is fun. I mean, it's all coincidence and i expect it to fall apart any time, but you were making up stories and i can play that game. If it's going to be about me, i might as well be me. Oh no, Skip's gone cross eyed. 

Skiperoni! Snap, snap, come back to the now. 

I'm so confused. 

We know. K, best explanation i got. Ready?We're inside a Klein Bottle. Well, inside is relative. The point is it's impossible to pin down which direction we're going. Now is now, obviously, but that doesn't mean you're living it that way. Try to give it a twist through the 4th dimension so that you're living your memories while reality fractalates around that stream of consciousness. 

Whaa? 

Ok here's a good example. Hello, Michael Kamen. It's great to see you again. You guys remember Michael, right? He did Metallica's S&M, then he died, then he helped Roger Waters build a wall to fence Bob Geldoff in, and now he's working on the string parts for this album by Dave and Buster, sorry, Ann(ie) and Dave. See? Completely chronological but totally out of order. 

Oh, ok. That sort of makes sense, i think. 

Great news! Skip's here, everybody. I believe Sandra was giving us the rundown of the depression after a breakup, or something similar. 3rd album? That's quite a nice coincidence you got there Sandra. 

How could anyone dislike The Eurythmics? This album is fantastic, it's complex, it's believable, it's the right blend of pop and wacky synth sounds. Killer bass lines, intriguing harmonies, and a full assortment of blips and bloops. Plus, the songs are good. You might not have all these emotions in this particular order, but you definitely have them. 

You're 3 for 3. We'll see how it proceeds. I've been peeking at the stack, and there's this nagging suspicion you're pandering a little bit. Interesting eyebrow there, i haven't seen that one before, so we'll assume it signifies coyish ambivalence. Alright, keep your secrets. We'll get to the bottom of it one way or another.

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
