Three Dog Night
Suitable For Framing (1969, Dunhill)
RIP Chuck Negron
When I was a kid TDN was huge. HUGE!
Over 20 smash hit songs & 9 Gold albums in 6 years. And then nothing. Drugs. Egos. Every cliche. Chuck seemed to be the biggest part of the problem. A tough road for a long time.
J.S. Bach / Otto Klemperer
Mass In B Minor (1749) (1968, Angel)
I listen to a fair amount of classical music, primarily post-Wagner - 20th century. The powdered wig stuff is obviously great, but...
My fav classical radio show, @wdwoltdp, hipped me to this killer a few months ago. The most gigantic thing ever! Under the baton of Klink's dad?! 🔥

Scruffy The Cat
Moons Of Jupiter (1988, Relativity)
Even with their ultimate LP being produced by Jim Dickinson at Ardent in Memphis, Relativity just couldn't move the needle enough to keep this amazing band going. Same old story...

The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane
(1970, RCA)
Until I got this comp about a year ago I never gave the Airplane a 2nd thought. They were there. Couple of cool tunes. Blah blah. But everything on this record is GREAT! Makes me want to get their entire catalog.

Diamanda Galas
Broken Gargoyles (2022, self released)
Music to frighten & delight the undead. 👹
I saw her in concert a few years ago in a decrepit/fantastic old theater in Downtown LA. I was the awkward bloodless doofus in a sea of vampires.
Laurie Anderson
Mister Heartbreak (1984, Warner Bros)
I can't imagine an artist like LA getting signed to a major label today. Tom Waits is another. Zappa. There are quite a few of em. So much great music being left behind. Pity.
The Melvins
Hold It In (2014, Ipecac)
If you're not listening to the Melvins with your Christmas Eve coffee ☕...get with the program. Or something.
