Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[SKT]

@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”

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…

@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.

Finished reading Kaplan’s 3 Shades of Blue. Making me revisit some records I’ve lost some interest in.

That's why my listening post rate tics up Thursdays and Fridays

[J-IV]

@GraemeE guess I’ll be joining you this week.

More Harris on the keys

[NickD]

@J-IV I’ve got that too, although mine’s a Japanese reissue.
