Very good. I love it too.You can find it on Marcos Valle records from the 70s.

I was going to do the same but have ended with the Complete Prestige set, which I like perhaps even some more. All his classics are there and in their original incarnation, which for me is very important. Plus, last not least, it's a K2.

When I saw that famous photo with Iggy Pop from when his last album came out I remember I thought he looks really much younger than Pop. But that can have something to do with Iggy Pop's lifestyle and with Smith wearing a turban. At the time I thought he was older, but I'll check now. They can easily be in the same age group. Iggy Pop is also in his 70s IIRC.

Same here.

I think that's the case. Because rock guitarists are much more objects of adulation.

I've got that one and it's brilliant. Very, very good.

Sound and Vision by Bowie. From Low. One of my favorite songs by him (there are so many great ones). And it's from the Berlin trilogy. An absolute bonus for me.

A mesmerizing book about Krautrock. Not only that, it's also about the rebuilding of postwar Germany, as the krautrockers seeked to build a new mode of expression leaving old Germany and also English/American imperialism behind. They were late 60s hippies, and it's all too understandable. And the book is very well written and documented. I can feel that as a half German. I used to spend all my summers in Germany in the 60s (as a kid) and the 70s (as a teenager), and the first 80s (as a twen). And I've got a feeling for what that country was up to. The author, from whom I'm also expecting another book on the history of electronica (Mars by 1980), seems to have a deep knowledge of Germany going back to his own schooldays.

Yes, Mr. Bongo are good. Specifically with Brazilian things. And, as I just posted before, I didn't know anything about it before I heard it. It just came up.

Yes, I checked out the Piri album. And I didn't either know what I posted. Never had heard of it. But it came up after I played Piri.

Another fantastic Brazilian album. Look at the artist's name alone. And the cover, asking where do we come from?

I just got a bunch of Burrell Albums including this one and Asphalt Canyon Suite a.o. from CDJapan. A very satisfying experience. They were 1500 yen a pop. I now realize this is the Freshsound edition. Which I also have, just don't ask me where. So it would me more like this:

Got this recently .It's so amazing good. Paul Bryant together with Curtis Amy! And I loved and still love the Select concept.

Aqualung was one of the firsts albums I got. I still remember that thick cardboard jacket. As an LP, of course.

Yes, I also noticed this shortcoming. But apart from that I like it very much.

Nearly as old as my father, who's 89. I think I saw Shorter when he was 80.

Do you mean the illustrated book? Because yes, there are some drawings of the Stones that are near frightening. One with Jagger as a woman IIRC:

Oh, that is a big letdown. Only heard a couple of weeks ago he wasn't playing with the Stones anymore. Saw them on their 82 European tour with the Start me up hit, when I was 19.

I recently found out while researching Christiane F. that she has a book called I, Christiane F. My second life from 2015, where she narrates how dreadful her live has been and still is.

Yesterday I got this from Dusty Groove Haven't listened to it yet but will do so tonight. I got it together with another album I wanted (Various - Cold Wave, Soul Jazz) and seeing it was in my cart (from I don't know when) for 7 bucks I picked it up.

Very good article, and it comes to prove my point.

I was trying to remember where I saw the Pogues with Joe Strummer in London, Camden Town, and I remembered it as a famous venue, but I just confirmed it was at The Electric Ballroom. But I never have seen The Clash, and I think they came to my city in 1981. But I loved them, very much over the Sex Pistols. The Clash were rock and the Pistols not, as far as I'm concerned.

Is Strummer dead? I never knew that. I once saw him in Camden joining the Pogues. It was in 1987, if I remember well.

That is a very sexy looking Carly Simon.

Ah, I see. And the cover you posted is from their first album from 1999. I thought you were gonna ask "who the band or the girl on the cover?". And I thought the girl on the cover looks just like out of a 60s psychedelic movie. Or trying to emulate that look.
