same. with tespattern included, maybe that means their album will finally receive a reissue?

the instrumental for “beat the rap” is extremely dope, I made a vaporwave-y edit of it years ago

On a LITA tip, I dug the recent Emerson brothers biopic. Never really thought about what really happens when a long-forgotten and completely ignored record gets discovered and feted by hipsters some 30 years later.

yeah, that yen comp looks cool... but damn, vinyl is so expensive and I have a lot of that stuff already too...
speaking of things that are expensive, there's also a new-ish japanese "blu-spec CD" that collects all of the tamao koike yen stuff:https://www.discogs.com/release/29252209-Tamao-Koike-Tamao-Complete-Yen-Years

This guy was always in the background of my adolescence, it never occurred to me that he was worth paying attention to.
You people are going to have me listening to Garth Brooks next, wtf.

Cow art, there’s a good thread on his album Like Red on a Rose, one of my favorite country albums ever

so back in my youth...
the biggest alan jackson album with "chattahoochee" was the blockbuster and in those days, the record stores would often put the artist's prior pre-blockbuster catalog albums on budget price. we were poor, so my mom bought don't rock the jukebox on cassette and we rocked it (er, didn't... you know what i mean). if you like that sort of thing, yeah it's damn good. the title track is a new nasville standard, the ballads are great (esp "midnight in montgomery"), and his voice is just what it's always been: not overbearingly impressive, but strong and familiar. i'm far from a proper fan and i don't know most of his catalog, but i absolutely have fond memories of that album.

I always think this thread is about the Shel Silverstein poetry collection
