Listened to a lot of, probably too much, music today:

Pink Floyd—Animals
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer—Tarkus
Gentle Giant—Interview
Gentle Giant—Three Friends
Can—Future Days
Neu!—s/t
Yes—90210
Yes—Big Generator
Genesis—Invisible Touch
Can—Future Days (again)
Can—Ege Bamyasi
Can—Tago Mago
Can—Monster Movie

I'm going to take a break from music listening for a couple days. When I come back it will probably be with something other than rock of any kind.

GodWeenSatan: The Oneness - Ween

GodWeenSatan: The Oneness was a cassette I used to play nearly constantly back in the early 90's back when I had a crappy job painting houses. Man, the looks I'd get from people on the sidewalk walking by having to deal with almost any of those tunes blasting from my boombox. Good times.

Saw them live in 1994...great show with obviously the bulk of their set from the first three albums (with a healthy amount of Chocolate & Cheese as well...if you can call that "healthy").

I was a big Ween fan as well. A friend played me Pure Guava soon after it came out, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had just been making songs of my own on a four track, and these guys seemed like they were already doing what I was trying to do. Pure Guava was their first major label album, in that early 90s weird period when all the majors were signing on these experimental underground bands hoping for the next Nirvana. I remember one of the conditions of their contract was that they couldn't stay lo-fi; each subsequent album had to be of higher fidelity than their first (or something like that). So they went out of their way to make that first (i.e. Pure Guava) as hissy and messed up sounding as possible, and it really makes it a weird album. Not quite as weird as The Pod, but close.

I saw them in 1999 I think, for the White Pepper tour. By then, of course, they'd become an actual stage band that could rock out with the best of them. I remember them covering "Hot for Teacher". Yow!

The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld

Tamijo - GREAT album!! I listen to it quite often, I especially love the first disc! Big fan of their album `ORBlivion' as well, probably one of their last really great ones, though not many people even like that one!

Anyway, here's my picks from today:

December 7th 2012 -

The Reasoning - Adventures In Neverland
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Tangerine Dream - Thief
Big Big Train - English Electric part 01
Cosmic Jokers - s/t
Helmet Of Gnats - High Street
Nemo - Si partie 01

New Eden Orchestra - Vikings

(great little album, that one! Neo-prog/symphonic in a similar style to Glass Hammer, vocals are slightly daggy but show a lot of variety, very charming arrangements overall too - check it out everyone!)

Pure Guava was the first thing I heard by them as well, back when that Push The Little Daisies tune was released as a video. A lot of the tune on that album were a chore and more annoying than funny, but when they worked (Don't Get Too Close To My Fantasy", "The Stallion Pt. 3", "Pumpin' 4 the Man") they were killer, and got me to check out their prior two full lengths. I loved GWS:TO instantly, which became my fav, while The Pod took years to fully appreciate, but it's actually aged better than their other early albums. Kinda brilliant in a way.

Listening to:

Mandrake - "Mary Celeste"

Hiromi Uehara - "Time Control" (holy hell!!)
