The new Rhino High Fidelity pressing of Wilco - A.M. sounds so good. Everyone needs a third copy of this album, right?

Another album that just showed up today is the reissue of The Smashing Pumpkins 5th album, Machina / The Machines Of God.
I’ve grown to like it over the years and it has some really good moments, but it’s probably my least favorite out of the first 5.

The mail gods cursed me to a weekend with my new albums, but all four showed up today. Starting off with the new Deftones album.

Today was another long day in a seemingly endless stream of long days. I’m ending each day so drained that even putting on a record feels like so much work. Going to try and relax and listen to some Small Faces.

Since I finally have a copy of Better Than Ezra’s debut album, I went ahead and picked up their second album, Friction, Baby.

So I wasn’t at this 1991 free show Van Halen gave in Dallas, but I was at the 1988 Monsters of Rock Van Halen show in Dallas where Sammy lost his voice and promised to come back for a free show. This show is that make up date.

Staying in the 80’s with Promise, the 1983 debut album by Gene Loves Jezebel. This has always been my favorite album of theirs.

To give some cowboys some acid and to stay in motels”

I missed this one during RSD last year, so I’m glad that @realgonemusic gave it another pressing last week. Deluxe got a lot of play at the record store I worked at in the 90’s, so I’ve always had a soft spot for Better Than Ezra.

My 12 hour workday ended with my 28th Meet the Teacher night. It was a really long day, but a pretty good one too.

Now I’m exhausted, wishing I was tired enough to go to sleep and listening to Jellyfish. There are worse ways to spend an evening.

I thought I was done with RSD25, but I couldn’t pass up a copy of The Jayhawks - Blue Earth that I came across last week. There’s just something extremely soothing in the Louris/Olson harmonies and that exactly what I need tonight.

Another record I found on my Missouri trip this summer. A great quality live album from The Slits recorded live at the Gibus Club in Paris on 26 January, 1978. The sound quality really is fantastic.

I’ve wanted this album for so long and I’ve never been able to find it on CD or LP. Luckily, it was just reissued on colored vinyl for its 45th anniversary. So now I get to spend part of my Saturday night with this classic.

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight

With just one more day of vacation left, my return to work anxiety is in full swing. Ah well, it is what it is. Going to listen to this copy of The Who - Quadrophenia that I picked up in St. Louis and read a bit of Stephen King’s Holly.

There’s always time for Sparks.

Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads”

Finally hunted down a copy of Morphine - Detroit Bootleg that came out this RSD. Like everything of theirs, it’s f’n fantastic. I miss this band.

Just like the remaster of Talking Heads: 77, the new remaster of More Songs About Buildings and Food sounds amazing. I haven’t made it to the second LP of outtakes and b-sides yet, but I’m already in love with this reissue.

“I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars and said I’d show them how

Don’t need no astrology, it’s inside of you and me
You don’t need a ticket to fly with me, I’m free, yeah”

My dad is 76 and is currently in his own fight with Parkinson’s, so that adds another element to today’s terrible news.

R.I.P. Ozzy. So many of us owe you so much. I’m so glad you got the send off you deserved in Birmingham. Give Randy a hug for us all.

Sun Ra’s Space Is the Place felt like the perfect way to end my day.
