Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[Inorganic]

Just returned from a trip to SF to celebrate my 21st anniversary w/wifey. Amoeba gods were shining down on me and blessed me with 2 holy grails. Whilst out there I scored a tape that my buddy made.

99% sure I've posted this in the podcast thread before but this is a great one from the LITA crew
Just finished the most recent Nancy Sinatra episode but they do everything from Hazelwood to Hosono

@endo another great one by Mr N

@GraemeE nice score! I’ve been looking high and low for a copy of push push but they are hard to come by.

I found some much needed Bonnie in a killer little shop in Guadalajara today…they let me kick back with a couple Victorias and test drive the goods…may have to go back while we’re here

[GraemeE]

@68degreesorless I hate to say this but I actually passed up a copy of that one a few weeks ago at goodwill....

The perils of going mid workday during lunch - got an urgent call on a fire (metaphorical) that needed to be put out so had to leave and head back to the office

@GraemeE dammmmm. Well, on the bright side, this gives me hope. On the dark side, work can always wait for that chest hair and the Duane Allman slide work to accompany the flute.

@endo revisited this album after reading Jeff Tweedy’s most recent book. In it he talked about his love for “In Germany Before the War” and I’ve been haunted by that song ever since. That whole album is so good.

Tweedy’s book is called “World Within a Song”

@SKT said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Tweedy’s book is called “World Within a Song”

I've read once and listened to the audiobook once - will likely revisit every couple years

Great book

[SKT]

@GraemeE I need to listen to the audiobook

[endo]

@SKT I don‘t know Jeff Tweedy or the book, but that song is certainly hauting in its dark beauty. Untill recently I didn’t know it‘s about a child murderer. May have a look at the book. Thank you.

“World within Wax Treasure.”

Love this mind-expanding stake of this thread…

[SKT]

@endo Jeff was a founding member of the band Uncle Tupelo and then Wilco. He’s written two other books, the first was more a memoir…Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back)…second was “How to Write One Song” and then “World Within a Song”. The memoir is fantastic for anyone interested in the formation of Uncle Tupelo, their demise, and the birth of “Alt-Country”. I’ve enjoyed all the books immensely…my bias being he’s been in 2 of my all-time favorite bands and I would probably read anything he puts on paper.

@SKT - didnt know about that book, good mention!
I’m a big fan of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt - i do appreciate Jay Farrar a bit more, but i’ve seen Wilco more than a few times live and they are true, for sure.

A bit of 80s metal

[Aetas]

Have a lot of conversations with my kids about 80’ Pop music.
A few weeks ago we talked about Erasure, Yazoo and Vince Clark.
Claimed that he was in a band they already knew…Depeche Mode. So we heard ‘Speak and Spell’ in the car together.
They liked it but for me it sounded restrained, lifeless and without power.
Pulled out this 12’ today. Here they are without Vince and full of energy.
The Live Side recorded at Hammersmith Odeon 1982.
