What's Everyone Listening to?

not saying anything new here but holy cow is she incredible

I'm trying to figure out how I feel about Sparks. I'm leaning towards jumping all in. This has dime in the gutter written all over it. Queen meets Devo in their sound, except they pre-date both bands.

P.S. - I'm drunk.

ive been playing a lot of old blues stuff lately, dock boggs (early recordings) and charley patton in particular. hard to believe that stuff's even real.

New Kevin Gordon release- Tilt And Shine
KG is great and I'm not sure why he doesn't get more recognition in the Americana/ roots music community.

Wow, Sparks is so far back in the way back machine I literally can't remember what they sounded like, but I know I listened to them at the time. Will have to refresh my recollection.

Sunday we were having a few beers at a local and they were playing the reboot of Mystery Science Theater 3000 with the closed-captioning on. There was a hilarious Sparks reference and I literally spit out beer!!! Hadn’t thought of them in forever

They were all over early MTV, even more when they did that song with Jane Wiedlin

sparks did an extremely fun collab album with franz ferdinand a few years ago

I love this one:



With the Mankey brothers and one of the best album titles ever.

Just kinda let Spotify keep going

Sure was happy to turn this one up again:





The same guy who wanted my Ton-Ton Macoute reissue tried to buy this one. He was really into Capricorn and Shelter, which is understandable.

Sweet guy, dead now, was in a chair from a copter crash as he was training to fly in Vietnam. I liked him and felt bad about turning him down, but not too bad, 'cause he had a much better collection than I'll ever have. And I really liked this record. Still do, too.

Good idea! I pulled this one along with the Mutabaruka. Now playing.

Iowan I need your help. As (bad) luck would have it, both the Bottle Rockets and Turnpike Troubadours are playing Philly on Fri Oct 19. B Rox will be in a little club, Troubadours in a bigger club. I've seen the B Rox a few times and would obviously love to see them again, haven't seen the Troubadours yet. Neither of them come thru here very often and I'd like to see them both, but that's not going to be possible. Advice?

Well, I ain't Iowan. But I'd go with the Troubs. Seen them 3 times and they did not disappoint
