Tim Hardin - "Suite for Susan Moore and Damion - We Are - One, One, All In One" (1969)

The high lonesome sounds combined with all the family photos scream,"She's left me". What a way to end the 60s.

Neil Young - "After The Gold Rush" (1970)

Somehow I went all these years without acquiring this record, until today. Apparently this lp was inspired by a Dean Stockwell script for a movie that never got produced.

#NowPlaying #NeilYoung #vinyl #VinylRecords

Album cover features a black and white photo of Neil Young wearing a back pack that's in the shape of a little old lady. Neil's handwritten lyrics to After The Gold Rush: Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming Sayin' something about a queen There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming And the archer split the tree There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun That was floating on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies I was lyin' in a burned-out basement With a full moon in my eyes I was hopin' for replacement When the sun burst through the sky There was a band playin' in my head And I felt like getting high I was thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie Thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie

It's BEEN time to dump Spotify. Since this article, the music platform has also started running ICE recruitment ads. Is your Wrapped really worth it? https://bit.ly/44cgegy
Time to dump Spotify - Chicago Reader
Spotify was already a blight on music, and now CEO Daniel Ek is investing in AI weaponry. Chicagoans are joining an exodus from the platform.

In 1968, following the success of his role in "Mary Poppins" four years earlier, Dick Van Dyke was asked by the producer of the 007 films, Alfred R. Broccoli, to take over the 007 role from Sean Connery.

Incredulous, Van Dyke responded: “Have you heard my British accent?”

Bill Fay - "Time of the Last Persecution" (1971)

This is the first time that I've really sat down with this recording, and I get why everybody references it. Also, shout out Deram records. Those Decca engineers were the best
