Listening to Stadium Arcadium. The Chili's best release thus far, I'd say. If I wasn't for my undying love for The Life Pursuit and The Black Parade, this would be the best of '06. Amazing for summer. |

THE JANITOR
|
I gently revived a softly sleepy Breakfast In America today. It has only been probably six years since the last time I listened to the entire album but there was a near clarity to today's. The album from Supertramp was released in 1979 and although a number of songs from Breakfast In America received steady radio air play, it would not be until 1984 that I listen to the entire album. Of course there was a girl involved. The famous "Jennifer". We had met in 7th grade and by the time of 10th grade, she was the example I would compare every other girl towards. Skip all that and I will go on to tell you that in 1984 sometime, "Jennifer" and I would sit in her room and listen to her older brother's copy of Breakfast In America more than once. The Beatles was also a favorite of ours but that is another post and after high school and the great separation of some classmates, I bought my own copy of Breakfast. After several year's worth of playing, the album has always remained a favorite. Today for the simple reason of seeing the album on the shelf, the want and urge to hear it again brought me to slide it out of it's order, a quick clean with felt brush and alcohol, set up the disc recorder and let the music play. The album, to me, is sort of what I would rather have liked from the Peter Gabriel Genesis;a compromise if you will, between late seventies and middle eighties period for Genesis. Some songs where the instruments get to stretch a bit and some songs that appealed more towards the masses. Side one is one that is full of great music to me. A solid album side. Side two starts off just as strong with the first two songs but then faulters slightly and the last track comes in just in time to save the day. |

You're my hero because your wife's name is Jennifer. I hope I meet the same fate ;o |

*has a long, curious and sordid history of "Jennifers"* |

Around this time last year, when it started getting cloudy, after the sunny summer days of listening to Oasis, I discovered The Bends, and more importantly, "Fake Plastic Trees". Here it is again, raining, cloudy, depressing outside, and I find myself back with Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway. |

Now 100% more avant-garde than Ivan!

How is that album? I've been meaning to get it for a while, but I've read mixed reviews on it. |

I personally think it's fantastic, a great psychedelic album. The B-side, which is where the story actually takes place, is my favorite part of the album and my favorite thing the Small Faces ever did, the story is light-hearted and simple so it's not to be taken that seriously but it's fun and they play it extremely well, it's the band at their peak. I should warn you however about Steve Unwin's narration, I could understand some people disliking that, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. You should give it a try. |

I gave Curtis Mayfields' Superfly for the first time in so long. Man I forgot how good it is; if Exile On Main Street and Ziggy Stardust didn't exist, this would be my favourite album of '72. |

Better than Transformer, Sail Away, #1 Record, Pink Moon, Thick As A Brick, The Slider...? I don't think so. It's still great, though. |

Two short entries this time: Queen's The Works and Out Of The Silent Planet from a band called King's X. Released in 1984, The Works was the first Queen album I bought primarily because of the single "Radio Ga Ga" and upon first listen back then, I also immediately deeply liked "Hammer To Fall" and "Is This The World We Created?" It has always been one of my favorite albums from Queen but for so many reasons and perhaps some unexplained, I think it has been at least 7 years since I listened to the album. The song "...World We Created?" and "Machines (or Back To Humans)" as well as the other ghosts of the release were calling this week, begging to be heard once more. King's X Out Of The Silent Planet. I am sure that sometime near the end of the 1980's, I got this album in the "cutout" section of the record store 'cause it was inexpensive. I had heard some other King's X songs before I bought the album so I gambled that I would like something on this one. The King's X trio sounds like it has the combination of a tuned down electric guitar and bass that would later make it's way to more than a few "grunge" albums of the future. In the late 80's, for me, "Wonder" was the hot song on the album and still is today but I know I have not listened to the album more than four times since I bought the darn thing. This being the possible fifth. It does have some good music on it but like my parents or some of your grandparents, I just find it hard to throw anything away. So maybe I will listen to Out Of The Silent Planet again five more times in the next 20 years. |

I don't have any of his albums, but all I know is that "Superfly" and "Future Shock" (great groove to this one), are great songs. |
