It's piano and banjo. Why ever do you ask?

The facepalm emoji bears my name! This makes me unseasonably happy!

What, no fiddle?

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica (1969)

I think it's time for me to retire this album from my listening. I've never consciously ruled out an album from my future musical experience, but I own this and break it out once every 1-2 years only to decide that (though I understand and appreciate its fusion of different styles/influences (blues, jazz, etc.) and its experimental nature) I am just never going to enjoy this album. No matter how many critics may tell me "No but you're not seeing..." or "You'll hit this a-ha moment" or "You're missing it", I think I've given this one a fair chance - I'm not missing it. I don't enjoy it and personally I don't think it's that great an album (i.e. one that ranks in the top 100 of all time). Sayonarra, Trout Mask Replica

Deleted, as my statement was not nice and did not reflect my true feelz, which was sparring.

Beautiful album, but man it's a sad-sounding album. I was not in the mood to be at work today, and that wasn't exactly uplifting (especially after Trout Mask Replica)
Comfort food time!

David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1971)

Because everything's hunky dory, right?.....right?!

My work still doesn't gel with RYM images so Randy's posts don't show but his footer with Lee Morgan's The Cooker does appear. For awhile there, I was thinking "Man, he sure does listen to that album a lot"
