^Is it me or is it harder to listen to Blonde on Blonde now that the Live 1966 album is out? A LOT of those songs are on that live album and most are pretty awesome. It’s kind of like how I can’t listen to The Wall since Is There Anybody Out There came out.

And aren’t the homemade compilations the best? Some of my favorite albums are the compilations of Alice Cooper, Chicago and ELO that I made for myself.

Nope, nope, and nope.

Something very unique about their sound that is undeniably captivating. Like listening to Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, or Judy Collins’ earlier works.

L to R: Robin, Maurice, Barry, Flea?

I’m listening to a Monkees collection I made. I expanded The Birds The Bees & The Monkees to make it a double record. A pretend one, since I can’t press vinyl you understand.

I’ve done this a number of times, where I build these fake albums out of artists’ spare material, whenever it fills a need… in the case of Phish, I made those pretend studio albums of songs without 'no studio versions out of live versions. I think the links in those old threads still work, if anyone wants 7 more Phish albums -
‘Live Ones vol. 1 - 7’.

One time I made a multi-part collection of fake Beatles albums built out of '70s solo material. I called them “Wrestlemania vols. 1 thru 8”.

Made a fake Floyd album once. That one got christened “Tom Sellick.”

Just made a couple new KI$$ live comps out of audio from the live DVD sets. Boy was that a geekoutfest.

Something satisfying about compiling your own collection. It’s especially fun to get those precious few live cuts or rare songs out of the context that they’re usually in, which is lumped in with lots of songs you’re probably sick of. Boxed sets, greatest hits bonus tracks, live albums with just a couple rare things on 'em. You know the drill. How many Character Zer0’s a guy gotta hear to get a Destiny or something, knah’msayinbrah.

What’s the third “nope” for?

^Aw, he’s just jealous :mrgreen:

Been doing lots of Phish lately, so I’m chillin with the classics a bit today…

Dusted off this one. There’s so many great things about this one:

-Frank cracking up multiple times during his Central Scrutinizer parts
-The Stick It Out song that starts with the first verse in German and then the second verse is the same thing but in English and you find out how vulgar that first verse was.
-How “Why Does It Hurt When I Pee” turns out to be one of the more epic songs on the album.
-The numerous inside jokes about “Warren,” “leather,” “telefunkin’ U-47s,” and “you’ll love it. It’s a way of life”
-The fact that it’s a Rock Opera with a storyline but Frank still stuffs in a song that rips on music critics
-Maybe the first and only time I’ve heard “plooking” used as a synonym to “fucking”
-Watermelon in Easter Hay - nuff said

Wow, man … I’m on a very very very slow quest to get into Zappa someday. I have about ten of his records and two or three CDs … but a man’s gotta take things at his own pace.

I was listening to some live recordings of my friends’ old band today, recordings from 1995. I kind of broke it out and really dug my ears in, and was psyched at what I heard. I stopped at the supermarket and while shopping, I ran into their drummer!
:open_mouth:
Crazy, I’d literally just been listening to it in the car.

We yapped it up a bit, that was good. My brother was their singer at the time, and shit, this stuff sounded good. Kinda prog, a little too serious/stiff, but god, it was really accomplished and nice.

Phish on the ride into work, 10/7/99, but Brahams while I work.

Was floored a little to find out that my gson appreciates classical music, and was able to quote some of his favorite pieces like the fourth movement of Beethovan’s ninth, and Mozart, “einer kleiner something”. Haven’t really played any Phish for him, thought he indicated musical tastes closer to soft metal, grundge and some rap.

Will begin to play some of my CDs for him while we begin working on a model together this Wednesday, not necessarily Phish, but a mix of all that’s up on the wall. His thoughts are worth a lot to me.

From Brahms to my favorite Roosky…

Seem to play more Tchaikovsky around Christmas and in the colder months in general. Cold weather music, I guess.

Is there such a thing?

Talking Heads - Naked

What I believe is the last Talking Heads album and one of my favorites. They went with a more “island” feel and actually had a horn section on a few of the songs. I’m always of the belief that horns make almost any band better. Lots of catchy stuff here. I’m a big fan of Nothing But Flowers since it’s a strange take on how the world goes “back to nature” but the singer of the song just sings about how bored he is. Always cracks me up. “If this is paradise; I wish I had a lawnmower.” I was always surprised that the starting credits of Clerks 2 used that song…sadly, it ended up being maybe the only good part of Clerks 2. Also love Facts of Life and Mommy Daddy You and I.
