Many of the people I was friends with were 60's surf punk lovers and I bought in to some of that.
This album is awesome.
A great overview of underground/little known punkish tunes from the 60's.

Today's Vinyl, XTC 10" Single (Ball and Chain/No Thugs In Our House- -01.04.15c
I bought this bad boy in Austin ca. 1983/4 with Kathleen.
It was released in 1982.
We used to tell our folks we were going to the movies and drive the hour down to Austin, hang out for a while and drive back in plenty of time.
This is one of the things from my High School days that tells me I wasn't a complete twat.
XTC was fantastic then and is fucking awesome now.

Today's Vinyl, The Bessie Smith Story--01.04.15b
My second go round today is actually a 4 album set.
A Bessie Smith collection called "The Bessie Smith Story"
This is AWESOME! Much better than my earlier listen.
The albums came out in 1951 and contain 47 cuts ranging from 1923-33.
I think I got this at an estate sale in Las Vegas. Someone who had been an early program person at KUNV had passed away and his kids were selling all of his vinyl. I went early and they wanted all kinds of crazy money per album, went back on the last afternoon and offered something for what was left ($20 or $30 for 100+ albums). It turned out to be mostly classical with some early jazz and blues.
To be honest, I don't know that I've ever listened to all of these at once. Beautiful, beautiful music.

Today's Vinyl, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band- -01.04.15
I suppose I'll get back in to this.
I have recently been going back through all of my old vinyl (I try to randomly choose, clean, listen to then plastic sleeve them) and I try to listen to at least one a day.
As I do this, I suppose I may as well review the album in an effort to keep this blog going and to share. Because I am all about sharing.
I have already listened to some, so I may go back and list those here as well. Or I may not.
This morning's choice was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's first album, aptly titled "The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" which came out in 1967.
I had a book at one point that talked about 60's country/rock and had this huge list of "Must Have" albums in the back. I think this was one of them.
If you like Jug Band music, please go get this.
If you like their later stuff, you can let this one go.
I'm going to keep this one just because, but I doubt I'll ever listen to it again.
