Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 4 Way Street (1971)

Inspired by Ojai's Capitol Series (as well as my thoughts there should always be a jazz thread running), wanted a thread centered around The Penguin Jazz Guide. Long an essential resource among jazz fans, the Guide has not been updated since 2010, and there was a bit of consternation among fans...

Sequentia - Canticles of Ecstasy by Hildegard von Bingen (released 1994)

Have been trimming down my books lately with the purpose of downsizing - I don't think I've gotten rid of a book since college. Lots of fun books I haven't picked up in years (rekindling my love of Doonesbury comics). Of course, many music books emerged which are among the most difficult to...

Blondie - Blondie (1976)

Bought a music book and couldn't find a great thread to mention it. Random Music Thoughts is a catchall of course, but hey where ya gonna post about your Abbey Road lunchbox (I have one that proudly sits on a shelf in the bedroom) or a vintage Swan Song Led Zep T-shirt you picked up?

Sure we have a thread about TV/Internet shows, but what if ya have just one of those random "Boob Tube" thoughts? Like so: As I was listening to The Ventures, the "Theme from Hawaii Five-O" came on (which I've only realized now is slightly different in the 2010s remake listed as Hawaii Five-0 -...

My Google authenticator keeps crashing and need to reload. I know instructions about using that/having a separate site code is on here somewhere but can’t find it. Can anyone help me?

Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost (2011) A bit late finally getting my album out there I know :oops: My two favorite albums of the year are Beirut's The Rip Tide (which Axo chose when 2011 came up before) and The Black Keys El Camino (which I love but there's definitely divided opinion about...

My selection with be Tom Waits' album Rain Dogs Yes I know it's one of the highest regarded album of this year (1985), but (if I'm judging on MG posts) not a lot of discuss Tom Waits here much. Perhaps that's because you love this album already and wouldn't post one you listen to regularly...

Been a bit aimless with my musical listening lately (which is OK), but I have been looking for a new idea to guide my listening. Have been batting around ideas about a nice chronological overview that mixes genres with a sense of historical progression of music. But how many years or styles to...

Thinking (as I often do) about album/song rankings (one day I'll finally make my own) and was looking at Best Ever Albums overall list and right there at the top were #1 OK Computer by Radiohead with #2 Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Now both are among the truly great albums of all time...

Wow! 35 submissions for this iteration of the MG Album Club - fantastic streak. It's been great. Let's keep it going. I was tasked with the year 1963 and will choose: Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (1963) Apologies to The Beatles Please Please Me and to The Freewheelin'...

Welcome to the 28th (wow! 28th!) pick of our album club here at the MG A bit late for me here, but people are still digesting the last pick (myself included), but I'll give a full 10 days (next Monday) until our next album pick. My pick Graham Parker - Squeezing Out Sparks (1979)...

#21) The Feelies - The Good Earth (1986) As I stated in another post, can't say I appreciate a ton of albums from 1986 - certainly the classics are killer, but you've all heard those. And you may have all heard this one, but even so, I'll bet (and I might be off on this one) that many...

Well, a new year and my listening up to my recent Stones listening has been quite aimless. But I've had some ideas for some topics recently and you may see them over the year. Recently, I came upon this list of the sound recordings that have been selected to the National Recording Registry...

Bob Dylan - Greatest Hits (1967) Once a staple in college, I have since purchased and delved into Dylan's albums and have not broken out in many years. Highway 61 yesterday made me want a nice comp today - indeed what an album this is! Plus you get the non-album track "Positively 4th Street"...
