Now Playing

Whoa, blast from the past. One of my first dozen or so CDs. All the redneck flannel hippies in my high school rock band brainwashed me into liking fIREHOSE long enough to buy that.

Probably one of the only people in the world equally into Firehouse and fIREHOSE simultaneously.

i enjoyed it quite a bit, lol

Jammed this Mike Watt banger the other day:



Definitely one of the better SY-affiliated songs in existence, tbh. IMO.

I've had a swollen lymph node near my throat for the past 6 weeks now that won't go away. According to what I have been reading online, which I am trying not to put any value in, I have like basically every symptom of lymphoma.

This has spread into my left armpit which is swollen and tender. I have a doctors appointment on the 2nd of next month. But until then I am in full on freak out mode. 1.23 in every 100,00 people are diagnosed with lymphoma before the age of 20 -- so the odds are in my favor.

Anyways, I am listening to J Dilla's Donuts and trying to occupy my mind with the paper I have to write.

a mate from Japan who has just moved to London is bringing over a "box of music" I left at his house over a decade ago.

excitedly anticipating Wu-Tang deep cuts and mini discs full of big beat.

Shall post photos when I'm 'now playing'

Good band.

having fun picking through this multimedia millennial time capsule:

MiniDiscs:





Monkey Mafia - Shoot the Boss, Herbie Hancock - Thrust

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Self-made Compilation, Spiritualized ‎– Let It Come Down

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory, Various Artists - Jump Blue: Rockin' the Jooks

i think the only thing out of that lot that i've never got round to replacing (largely digitally, a few vinyl) is the Killah Priest. no actual memory of buying it or ever owning it.

took me ages to find and hook up my MiniDisc player...now listening to this NFAK comp

I could not keep a minidisc player working for more than 1 year. I'm amazed that yours survived a decade.

If I can dig up my copy of SuperBlackMarketClash it's yours, buddy. Bought it on deep discount when the 34th Street HMV was going out of business.

I've got some very fond memories of listening to "City of the Dead" while wandering around post-9/11 NYC.

I'm amazed mine still works. the battery compartment is buggered so you can't use it portably but hook the bad boy up to a power source and you can blast obsolete media until the cows come home.

well, for 74 minutes anyway. then you have to prize open the faulty eject mechanism and then slip out the disc with a pen!

Kids today don't know how good they got it.

Was woken up last night to this album unexpectedly playing in my iTunes:



Pretty fucking awesome.

Well it took me 24 years to ever notice the cowhide in the background.

Album covers that make you go

musically awesome and emotionally impactful
