What Are You Listening To?

So Best couldn't keep a beat to save his life, but the Beatles screwed him?

I guess people need me to explain everything ..everyone is Space? That’s not a good thing
Like read a bio?

Why do I bother posting?
Well they had no problem using him for years...his mom ran a little club in the basement - the Casbah and basically that was their first big gig... Pete was also the handsome one that helped create a bit of a following..

He schlepped all the Hamburg dates..all the cavern club dates...

The minute they sign to EMI they dump him..George Martin -his words- thought they would be fine with Best..

But wait they don’t even tell him personally but have Brian Epstein do it

That’s pretty lame

I knew most of this, but I didn't know that he was a horrible drummer and you can even hear it on the recording
Seems to me they made the right choice even though they went about it kinda lame
I can't imagine in those early days they had any idea what was to come, so decisions like that didn't seem that monumental

Well you are confused by the fact the sun comes up every day so that is not surprising...

No confusion man, sun sits in the same spot and the earth rotates around it (while also rotating itself)
So the sun does not come 'up'.  Where you are standing rotates towards it

Fuck man this board is good for discussing beer types and answering Space’s hypothetical tax questions about people with ten kids cause he can’t bother to figure it out himself




BORING

And potatoes. Don't forget the potatoes.

Stew and the Negro Problem - The Total Bent

Getting back on Turntable.fm has me thinking about bands I haven't thought about in several years.  Looked up Stew and the Negro Problem and found out they are still active and released a couple new albums in 2018. Doing a little catch-up

The IKEA Catalog

Silver Jews - American Water


So good

This came out in 98 around the time Pavement were spinning their wheels.. not sure why I didn’t hear about it until later...I guess I just couldn’t keep up..maybe it’s when I was in my Bob Dylan obsession period

Malkmus is all over it on guitar and vocals.. his best work since Wowee Zowee

In a bit of serendipity I was driving in DC yesterday..gorgeous day and the song about a beautiful sunny day and it being 75 degrees comes on and I look on my dashboard and it’s 75

That's amazing!

While it won't have the skin-tingly feel of a coincidence, here's a playlist that you might enjoy listening to tomorrow.

Maybe I bought a previous SJ record and it didn’t do much for me

And the fact they didn’t tour didn’t help

I posted about them recently but I can't seem to pull myself away from the entire catalog over the past few months. It took me a while to warm up to them as well but I think it was primarily due to how much I loathed my ex who thought they were a gift from god.

Napalm Death

Perfect pick-me-up to finish the work week. I think.

I have tried to get into that album. No idea why it doesn’t work for me. 

I’m 100% sure the problem is me and I just go back to Tonight’s the Night.

Pogues box set

Surprising... Most likely my favorite Neil album and quite possibly a top ten album in life.

Well we all have different likes....


Sometimes music grabs one later or earlier


Keep it in reserve... it’s a classic

You are lucky you have yet to find it’s charms


And you are not alone
