The Rolling Stones--Let It Bleed (the lines from the title track, "and there will always be a place/in my parking lot/when you need a little coke and sympathy".... has taken on a significant meaning in my life as of late. She's cool like that, yes she is.
Iron Maiden--Killers and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.......on cassette, no less......burned 5through this one twice today while waiting on some shit to go down.
Some cheesy pop song that has a whistled intro verse and lyrics pertaining to a guy with some sort of shady past getting together with a girl who is OK with it...."if you knew my whole life note for note/if you knew my secret history/would you go home with somebody like me?" or something like that. If any of you know the name of the song or artist, let me know, will ya? The female vocalist sounds a lot like Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star. Speaking of Mazzy Star, I recently listened to ....So Tonight That I Might See.... and She Hangs Brightly. Ladies choice, y'know. I always liked Mazzy Star, and one of David Roback's previous bands, Opal, that sounds a lot like Mazzy Star, but with a harder rocking side, too. Check out Happy Nightmare, Baby sometime, or the song "Northern Line", which was covered by The Old 97s, probably 'cause of the lyric, seductively sung by Kendra Smith, "I'm singing of the wreck/Of the old 97".
Jane's Addiction--Nothing's Shocking and their live debut on XXX Records. Damn fine rock and roll, as is Appetite For Destruction by Guns and Roses, which has also been a recent listen.
John Coltrane--Black Pearls
Black Angels--Passover
Things have been frantic and weird, as usual, over here in RTPland, but as fucked as things have been, some really cool things have happened to me recently, most significantly being meeting a real cool woman that I've been hanging with for the last couple of weeks. She's a real sweetheart, and she turned what could have been a very fucked up time for me into a really wonderful time. We seem to go together like, well, like morphine and cocaine.....or something like that.
