Chapter 2 - The Undiggened

C: Redecorating? Hate what you've done with the place, Bottle. 

B: Me casa es su dilapidated shack. How's Garbage Lady? 

C: Lovely. Why'd it take you so long to unbury me? 

B: Straight to the not pulling punches, huh? Well, i short circuited everything to smithereens, like i'm wont to do. Then i got all mopey, but in the unmopifying process i accidentally lured Skip and Sandra back from their vacations and tried to sell people stuff, and bits and pieces were all falling down around us, so they got mad and stopped talking to me. I just wasn't in the mood to restart all over again, so instead it snowballed and i started answering random questions from the strangest of scantily clad strangers, and now Bridbrad's cranky 'cause i interrupted his porch nap and made him narrate the minion making episode to dig you out. It's all napalm in a netti pot at this point, and i need to be wrangled. 

C: K, that all sounds like normal you. How bad we actually talking here? 

B: I might have reviewed Olivia Newton-John's best selling 11th album, Physical, yesterday, and liked it. 

C: Oh, Lord. Ok, i don't need to hear any more. It just so happens the Lady and i were cleaning up a long forgotten pile the other day, and i do indeed have a batch of random albums that might put you back on track. 

B: Really? I mean, i figured i'd have to bribe you all sorts of ways to get you back on board. Not that i'm above pity participation, but... 

C: We're good. Your fun is more fun than whatever i was doing before, remember? Just take 'em and sort yourself into some less Picasso-esque shape. I'll be busy putting the Comp-center back online if you need me. 

B: Maybe use one of the outlets out in the hallway, it got a little sparkly in here. 

C: I'll be fine, you do you. Fragile moments don't publish themselves. 

B: Funny you should say that. Still, when you're right, you're right. I guess i'll see you when i see you. 

C: Not if i see you first. 

B: Ouch. 

C: Good enough. I don't think i could keep up the angry act much longer. I think you'll enjoy this batch of random immensely. There's an official Trainwreckord, a couple underground icons, a thing you never in a million years would guess exists, and some straight happy Bottle 90s nostalgia. Not that i'm one to brag, but it's a brag worthy assortment. Now, bottle it, Bottle, i've got more than enough work for 12 minions, but i can't read your nonituitively sqiggly all caps cursive catastrophe of a handwritten minion recipe. 

B: Pinnochio! You're a real boy! 

C: Shut up, Bottle. 

B: You got it, dude. Glad you're back, imma go headphone hibernate. Catch you on the flip side, C slug.

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...
