I think he's polyamorous
That's so cool that Kosmoette is down with this open relationship with marginal British acts. So modern.

Pappo’s Blues - Pappo’s Blues

This reissue sounds fantastic.

Recorded in December 1970 and January 1971 this is some heavy ass shit. Pappo is sometimes referred to as the Argentine Hendrix. The first track has been covered by Clutch. Stoner blues rock might originate here or at the very least it’s a touchstone.

A live recording with Bill Evans on piano recorded in the first half of August 1959…a few days before Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue ,which Bill arguably makes, was released…. You got to think the kinds of live dates Bill was having must have changed immediately after Kind of Blue…no more dates backing others (like this one) for starters one would think….But I honestly need a good Bill Evans bio urgent ….. that whole 1958-1959 period around Miles is my favorite and endlessly fascinating…throw in Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else which is practically a Miles session…Of course Coltrane returning to Miles after playing with Monk and cleaning up

Nothing much special happens here…none of Bill’s languid almost soporific playing…it doesn’t seem his style of playing….here it’s pretty typical….of course this would have been incredible live

Jimmy Garrison on bass who would go on to fame as part of the John Coltrane Quartet
This live set was released decades after being recorded

Still waiting on explanation from Starsky re: Everything But The Girl. If your statements are not confirmed we could be talking libel unless of course you retract them with an apology to the band and the board.

will admit the ABBA album faded quickly... even kosmette called it chessy


I think Just a Notion is great and sounds like a classic Abba song that could be playing on my mom’s car stereo in 1981. But it’s an outlier.  Wish there was like a 50/50 split between wistful torch song and wistful buoyant disco but it’s more like 90/10.

Listening to one song where the magic didn’t quite develop I thought about how cool a Thomas Bangalter / Benny / Abba collaboration could be.  Masters of transcendent ‘cheesy’ music

I should add they played hardcore punk and came out of the same Orange County scene as Agent Orange.

Unfortunately their anti-feminist bent - clear from the name- and Nazi sympathies meant they had a short career (How Seymour Stein signed them is beyond me but he must have been horrified by this album cause they were dropped quickly) although I heard they recently regrouped to play Trump campaign events.

wait - what?  who are you referring to??  EBTG are english, not from OC... i'm sure i'm missing something here.

yup, i'm waiting too - mostly to clear out my personal confusion.  as far as i was aware, there was only one band called Everything But The Girl, from England.  they had one of the biggest club hits of the 90's with the terry todd remix of "Missing".  was there another EBTG from OC?
