I guess I missed last week, but never mind; it’s not as though I’m on deadline or anything. iTunes came up with a lovely mix this week:
- “The Loner” by Neil Young (from Live Rust)
- “The Bear Farmers Of Birnam” by Al Stewart (from Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time)
- “Gravity Eyelids” by Porcupine Tree (from an unauthorized concert recording made by a friend of mine)
- “Nevertheless” by Eclection (from Eclection)
- “Face In The Cloud” by Family (from Music In A Doll’s House/Family Entertainment)
- “Out Of This World” by Marillion (from anorak in the uk live)
- “Hotel Noir” by the Legendary Pink Dots (from The Golden Age)
- “Annie, Roll Down Your Window” by Mary Fahl (ex-October Project) (from The Other Side Of Time)
- “…And The Gods Made Love” by Jimi Hendrix (from Electric Ladyland)
- “Dada Was Here” by The Soft Machine (from The Soft Machine Volumes One and Two)
Speaking of Electric Ladyland, I was disappointed that the Hendrix permanent exhibition at the EMP in Seattle seems to downplay what I’ve always thought of as his finest album. (And I’m not alone – the special Mojo Magazine Psychedelic issue rated Electric Ladyland as the #1 psychedelic album of all time.) Of course it’s too much to expect a museum in straitlaced, uptight America to display the original album sleeve, but the EMP exhibit hardly even acknowledges the existence of the album. Curious…..
