No joke titles this time folks.

I'm in a surreal mood today that I struggle to explain even to myself.

1 )) I love Mississippi John Hurt...but is there a bluesman that I love more than that folkman...and he is the great John Lee Hooker. Actually, I don't have much to say about this...other than I'm just so sad right now. So that's it. I feel sad. No reason. Here you go:

2 )) A lot of you might have this...but then again, maybe not. This was the first Glenn Branca I ever found. It blew me away. I liked driving around to this while I was stoned and running errands or something. The first track shocked me when I realized it was all live. The people at the end cheer as if they don't know what the fuck to think:

Glenn Branca - Symphony No. 1 (Tonal Plexus)

3 )) From Nina's loathesome city of Los Angeles...home of bands with names like "Underwater City People" and Scientology (I can't back up the latter) it's People Under The Stairs. This is one of my favorite hip-hop albums...I especially like "Sterns to Western." It's a great party album...and your idiot friends will never know this is actually cool:

4 )) I never understood why "hardcore" EA types held such disdain for the Rolling Stones. They may have become a huge rock group...but they played for Cheap Trick type audiences...the scary and the scummy...they were hardcore...their credentials as an R&B group were impeccable...and they had great taste...just like the Beatles. A song like "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" should be admired by Steve Albini-wannabes the world over. I just put this up to make some of you take a second look at this spectacular group:

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

5 )) Here's the crown jewel of my not-so-strange offerings for today. This is for that Ed guy who keeps quoting my stated desire for some Nirvana boots (again...Bleach era or last American tour please?)...well here's something that's more than a little bit difficult to get your grubby little paws on...please don't post this all over hell, assholes.

Nirvana - 03/??/87 Raymond, Washington House Party (Nirvana's first show)

Thanks for the albums, Colonel.

Thanks for the John Lee Hooker, Minotaur.

Thanks for the Nirvana, I was listening to Heartbreaker off the boxset today, its cool to be able to get the entire show now. Was that the same show where that picture of Kurt and Krist covered in fake blood comes from?

Does anyone have solo Steve Fisk albums? I'm looking specifically for the album that has his version of Taxman. But any Fisk will work. Thanks.

I don't know about the picture you're referring to (as far as when it was actually taken). I was actually searching Google for that one, but it never appeared, so I put up a picture of them playing with Chad Channing (I think Aaron Bruckhard played the drums at their first show).

Also, is my picture of the Branca album showing up on your computer? It's not showing up at work, but it did on my home computer.

When I downloaded the Nirvana, all the files came up corrupted.

Anybody else have this problem?

Downloading it right now- I'll let ya know in a few minutes.

Works for me!
