Gave M. Ward's "A Wasteland Companion" several more listens before returning it to the library yesterday. Love it. Sort of Dylan, sort of Lennon in a 21st century way. I will be investigating his output more in the future.Originally Posted by Vesteralen

Sun Ra, nobody else like him.
Your closing key is not the same,
This gives the Masters pain;
But Hans Sachs draws a rule from this:
In Spring, it must be so! 'Tis plain!
"In Spring! In the creation of art it must be as it is in Spring!" -Arnold Schoenberg
"I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not! But I’m sick and tired of being told that I am!" - Monty Python

I went to a jazz festival in 1986, and the Sun Ra Arkestra opened the show. I was 24 at the time, and I had never heard of Sun Ra. He put on a very entertaining show, and his band was great. Years later I picked up most of the CDs on the Evidence label, and some live stuff as well.
Roy Orbison - In Dreams
One of the best pop albums ever, seriously, especially if you can appreciate imaginative instrumentation and song structure.
lately and i do suggest:img_1059.jpgElliott Smith.jpgr3211.jpg
Dntel - Aimlessness.
So many good tracks. Wonder why RA only gave it 2.5/5 zzz..
"I wanted to make a caricature of romanticism. Perhaps it got the better of me. ”
—Maurice Ravel, on "Scarbo"
The John Coltrane Quartet--Coltrane
Whatever floats your boat

A classic Monk album, also available in SACD. From the opening strains of the old Baptist hymn "Abide With Me" (written by one William H. Monk in 1861---this is Monk's idea of a pun), in the sax-friendly key of E-flat, just as it appears in the hymnal---with Coleman Hawkins on baritone and John Coltrane on tenor---it takes off from there. One of the greatest moments in jazz comes in "Well, You Needn't" after Monk's angular, fragmented, ultra-modern detective story piano solo, when he calls out "Coltrane! Coltrane!" and Coltrane jumps in with a brilliant solo. If you like jazz, you gotta have this!

I believe that this is the first jazz record I ever bought, when I was about 15 years old. It brings back a lot of wonderful memories as well!

Gotta love Monk sitting in that little red wagon! When CDs first came out in the early 80s, I bought Monk's Music, and Brilliant Corners. Still my favorite Monk albums!
On Spotify:
Yes--Going For The One {Expanded}
