ReplyDeleteI think I might be Gynocentric too..
ReplyDeletethis is an excellent place to discuss paul chain!!
ReplyDeleteI have this. Never listened to it yet; it looks so damn hippy...
ReplyDeleteOh, it IS so damn hippie
DeletePaolo Catena?
DeleteOK, honest question, how the frick are you able to listen to all the amazing stuff you post here and yet, I assume, are also well familiar with all the major popular music artists throughout time - your Miles Davises, your Dylan, your Bowie, your Wonder, etc. etc., heck even Burzum given your tastes (which I totally share, great to find someone else with such eclectic tastes paired with a bizarre fascination for black metal)? Are you playing four albums a day or so? Frickin' love this blog, BTW thank you, just curious how you manage to have listened to so much. I constantly feel behind in my music listening backlog. E.G. Only finished the Beatles' discography last year, heard my fifth Yes album and fourth Dylan album this year, and haven't even gotten around to frickin' Bowie.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't have an answer. Working at a record store certainly helped, but it's mostly just that I pretty much live in a constant state of looking for new music to listen to, and have been doing so for like 20 years now.
DeleteThank you for this and for Kenny Wheeler.
ReplyDeleteI guess Rhun isn't aware that you work (or have worked) in a record store (as I have). That automatically means that you're HARD CORE and want to hear EVERYTHING.
I thought my wife would love this, but playing it over dinner she said the vocals were messing with her digestion :-) I like it, though!
ReplyDeleteYou turned me on to Kay Gardner. I am forever in your debt.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time at the record store, a nice older woman in sensible footwear dropped off a crate of albums that were very clearly made by and for her kinda peoples. I think I ended up taking the whole lot and this was among the many gems I found in there. One of my favorite weird scores from that shop. Gynocentric, indeed.
