The Mojo Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion

[Ojai Sam]

From Yoko Ono to Carole King. If that transition doesn’t give you whiplash, nothing will.

I’m almost done with a listening project for Yoko‘s complete discography. Regrettably, I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t had time to share it.I began with rather negative feelings toward her artistically and wound up enjoying her work a lot more. The woman clearly can sing, and when she does other things with her voice it’s because she wants to make some kind of artistic statement.

If Yoko’s POB album is annoying, as a Beatle fan I have to say John’s is too. He is certainly capable of better songs and singing, but decided to share his Primal Scream with all of us. I hope it made him feel better, but when I’m searching my shelves for a harrowing listening experience I will opt for Broken English.

Eugene McDaniels - Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse (1971)

A pleasant surprise - good album, a lesser know funk/soul artist
Love this fun fact from AMG:

When Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse was first released in 1971, so the legend goes, Spiro Agnew himself called Atlantic Records to complain about the album's incendiary lyrics. Promotional efforts dried up, and since then, the album has become one of the great rare gems of the funk era

^^ Ah... Spiro Agnew.

Wasn't he with The Nattering Nabobs of Negativity?

He probably didn't like the competition.

That's more like it. I seemed to recall you liked The Flaming Groovies.

I won't call them TFG for good reason.

This performance is amazing and is pure punk rock.

I don't feel as alone, wallowing in my pathos.
