The Paranoid Style - Known Associates

Elizabeth Nelson gathers together her Known Associates for another hyper-literate ocean of words, along with great music.

Nelson's sharp wit and great songwriting remains intact...no surprise. And all the playing (including Peter Holsapple of the dBs) is on point, too.

Fans of the dB’s - the long-out-of-print, only available on import (on Albion, as I remember) first dB's LP is getting re-released!

This is a gem (along with Repercussion) - https://propellersoundrecordings.com/collections/pre-order-the-db-s-stands-for-decibels-2024-remaster

When the dB’s first album (Stands for Decibels) came out in 1981, it was a delight—followed by the equally great Repercussion.

What I didn’t know was that Holsapple, Stamey and Mitch Easter were in a band together called Rittenhouse Square in 1972. While their LP is basically impossible to find (unless you want to spend > $1000, or get really lucky at a Goodwill), it's available on the 'tube:
