I’ve been spinning thru lesser-known Black Sabbath albums. There sure are a lot, I count like 20 studio albums, you could count more or less than that depending what you include. They have two different collections that each have a pair of new songs. Then there’s the Dio fronted reunion album that they couldn’t call Black Sabbath legally, but I count that puppy.
Anyway I’m not an enormous fan of these guys, but certainly are interesting enough, and legend enough, to merit a listen sometimes.
Right now I’ve just got thru a not very attentive listen thru Mob Rules, and I’m doing the same for Born Again. Listened to Headless Cross the other night, similarly not paying actual attention.

Of course you count it. Dio is Lord of darkness.
“…from Fort Worth to Amarillo.”
The Texas portion of my life adventure began just south of Amarillo. Now I’m sitting near Fort Worth posting on the Oh Kee Pa.
Do you know what that means?
Nothing
Deep Purple and Moody Blues
I have never listened to either band until a couple months ago. I’m blown away over here.
Recommend Moody Blues entire catalog haha, freaking amazeballz band. Especially into them; I’ve sought out vinyl copies and everything. I even almost have them all.
Deep Purple’s newest album comes with a making-of DVD that I just finished watching. I’d check that out if you’re curious about later-day Deep Purple. If you only like the sweet spot, Machine Head and Who Do We Think We Are, and the debut album Shades of Deep Purple have my vote. Or like, recommendation I guess I mean.
I’m late to these parties holy smokes.
I’ve been a Moody Blues hypeman for a while. Their first six/seven albums are really top-notch work. Love how the albums all feel like they flow into each other…made for listening to them all at once and not flipping around tunes.
I’m less into Deep Purple but heard Perfect Strangers on the radio the other day. What a riff.
Paul Simon: Stranger to Stranger CD - received as a gift, so I didn’t seek it out, but it’s been worthwhile.
Moody Blues: most of the catalog on rotation right now

Spun Ozzy’s new album at too-low-to-really-hear volume
I was just taking some bacon out of the freezer and I noticed that the package says “No Sugar”. This INSTANTLY began playing inside my head:
Oh no…should this post be in the “bacon thread”?
The new Fiona Apple is greatness, per usual.
I will check her out someday, I take forever man. I think I can say I’m totally not familiar w/Fiona Apple somehow, but I’m not surprised. I’ll also say that you sir, specifically, have inspired me to take her seriously though by way of your own approval on here over the years.
I’m suddenly inexplicably all about AC/DC. I sort of renounced them and sold all my records (I had everything thru Who Made Who on vinyl) once I got old enough to be pretentious about my tastes and started getting into more Sophisticated Rock. I guess I was 15?
But then it’s like, sheeiiiit.
So my wife’s always dug AC/DC, and between us we (mostly me) have a lot of their albums, but … like they’re not a band I ever really get the bug about, you know? So here I am buggin out … and realizing my AC/DC collection is totally half assed half hearted. I’m kind of a complete-ist normally, I don’t even own a copy of fucking Powerage dudes.Actually neither of us have Back In Black, and then there’s on different formats; some of it’s vinyl/CD/cassettes. Shambles! But in a way it’s sorta rock and roll.
Anyway I just shut off Flick of the Switch to tune into Petrichor on the livestream quarantine dinnertime rain come down. Seemed like a questionable move, to me.
HMF, I would suggest starting from the beginning, and go forward.
Her second album which has I think has 99 words in the title is my favorite. But none are bad.
The new Fiona Apple is greatness, per usual.
I thought her Idler Wheel album was an abomination against music. After that, I’m pretty wary about checking out this new one. When the Pawn is really the only album I’ve REALLY liked by her so I wondering if that’s it.
This was the last great album that Gentle Giant made. This cut’s a rockin’ number, with a great, crunchy guitar solo courtesy of Gary Green at 02:34. You know when an electric guitar just does exactly what it needs to do at a given point in time? That happens here.
