#MusicSky get to know me thru my fav records

Blake Babies 🇺🇸 Sunburn (1989)

I didn’t have this LP in 89. Thus it’s the sound of the early 90s for me. Juliana Hatfield at full force. John Strohm is one of my favorite guitarists. One of the reasons I bought a Strat. I couldn’t afford a Princeton amp.

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules (1982)

With due respect to the extended Black Sabbath universe, Dio is the only person (excepting perhaps Rob Halford, who was not featured on any LP) who could follow Ozzy. Tighter, NWOBHM influenced, Dio’s vocals are perfect.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970)

Paranoid, Ramones, Nevermind hold a special place for me. I admire bands who make masterpieces outta easy riffs/chord progressions. A kid learning guitar can play the songs easily. Geezer’s lyrics inspire creative writing

Black Lips 🇺🇸 Arabia Mountain (2011)

The band’s early LPs were raw & feral, then they got a producer capable of wrangling them (Mark Ronson, of Amy Winehouse fame). The result is the first truly coherent Black Lips LP. Less puke, more garage pop.
I wish I had taken a course like that. That sounds rad.

Black Angels 🇺🇸 Phosphene Dream (2010)

Phosphene Dream seems like the moment Black Angels matured. A feast for the ears: Rickenbacker jangle thru stereo tremolo and spring reverb. Unusual beat pairings. Shorter songs. A throwback to 13th Floor Elevators.
I did leave my door open while cooking and found Ted (I named him that because he is uncatchable and resourceful in the wilderness) in my bedroom about an hour later. I’d take him in but already have three.
Apes aren’t monkeys. When I see or hear someone refer to a chimp as a monkey it causes a great rage to build in me.
I have a similar situation. We’re at a point where he will rub against my leg but still won’t let me touch him.

Björk - Post (1995)

A sillier me, a week ago, said that, in middle-age, Debut is the one I most often reach for. I’ve been listening to Post daily since then, and I feel the need to correct past me. This is the best one. Duh.
I already speak in riddles. I guess I could up my game by forcing myself to speak in *rhyming * riddles, because I lack the coordination to walk backwards.

Happy Birthday to Budgie (Siouxsie & The Banshees).
I’m listening to him reading his autobiography on audiobook. (I very rarely listen to audiobooks, but his Merseyside accent is captivating.) I need to get in the annual habit of bleaching my hair in celebration of his birthday.
Oh, scene hair (sigh). Glad I was too old for that and could grow a gnarly beard instead.
At the risk of seeming uncool, not exactly. But it definitely convinced me to stay in school.
Don’t want to answer all of that. I think the pay was $4.75 and I had to dress like Fred Flintstone.
In other #MetalSky news, I recently finished a survey on recent (2022-2024) UK black metal (and adjacent metal).
