House Tornado and Fat Skier are the only Throwing Muses I've ever really enjoyed. Wish they could have done more like that.

The Psychic Paramount - II (2011)

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/726ea78590312557f5f75c08ebc5c4fc/1289331
Compilation of later Ochs, starting in around 67 so a bit after the more direct protest stuff. THink he's got a bit consciously eclectic.
Interesting melange of influences and semi philosophical work. Nowhere near as other as dylan I don't think.
Still some odd choices, though maybe that's what makes it work. Outside of A Small Circle of Friends' having this really comic take on old timey music behind the stories it tells & a few things like taht.
Not sure what to make of his voice which is really mellifluous.
Also chronology of tunes chosen seems a bit weird State of Richard Nixon is tuck in th emiddle of the tracks from Rehearsals For retirement his 1969 lp. Possibly wanted to make sure it was on disc1 for some reason of prestige? sure messes up the chronology though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/fc7cb370b3bc5b320f4e889825e5b00c/1554561
Archie Shepp the lp that gave its name to a subgenre though it's nowhere near as hard as that might suggest.
Great stuff anyway. I need to hear the MC5 Ice Pick Slim take on lead off track Hambone, been meaning to look that up cos I haven't listened to it in years.
Also has Shepp's take on Girl From Ipanema and the spoken word over jazz of Malcolm Malcolm Semper Malcolm which is cool, a bit other, like.

Early 70s NJ hard rockers. I was just realising how murky this cd I have which I though was a reissue was.
Nice heavy hitting, pretty necessary if you're looking for roots of stoner and grunge and stuff.

love the Fyre!

THink I tried to say thought was a remaster. It is really muddy whatever.

Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou Ethiopiques 21, very nice solo piano disc

yeah, great stuff, very peaceful

felt let the snakes crinkle etc, comforting like a baggy sweater. The CD I’m listening to has a plain white cover. I’m wondering if Lawrence was embarrassed by the headband he sported on the original sleeve photo. That full photo only appears on the very first pressing, iirc

these are the midtown 120 blues

Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou Ethiopiques 21, very nice solo piano disc

secretly the very best of the ethiopiques, and that's stiff competition.

Hard agree ^^^

On Facebook, Ethan Miller from Comets on Fire has been getting some of his musician pals to recommend albs that are on Spotify. Bill Orcutt repped for Solo Concert by Ralph Towner (1979 solo guitar show) and I listened to it yesterday on my balcony - it was the perfect accompaniment to blue skies, birds flying by, lockdown silence. A beautiful rec.
