What's the word on Brandi's new record? I heard the music is good.  Curious about that and the pressing. 

I like the album. Listened to it on Spotify flying back from Ohana. My pressing won’t arrive until the 18th so can’t comment on that.  

Well that changed quickly. My signed copy will arrive by the end of today according to Canada Post.  Will give it a listen tonight!

I had vaguely heard of The Shadows and saw this at a good price, so decided to give it a try, figuring I could always get my money back selling it.  Well, so much for that.  This is a keeper!  Great early rock/surf/pop (recorded in 1960-'61) with terrific instrumentals and good vocals.  The liner notes point out that in an interview John Lennon once said, "Before Cliff Richard and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music."  Great stuff here!  And it includes the fabulous single, "Apache".  Awesome!

Oh, and one other thing- I read a number of scathing reviews of WaxTime pressings.  Perhaps it's because this an EU pressing, in any case, this LP sounds great!

^^Ventures type music? For a while I was grabbing a bunch of the ventures records on the cheap at my local dig.  Fun mood enhancing music from time to time.
I picked this sucker up as I watched the count slowly get to 1 over a few months:

taj mahal find. Recycling the Blues and Other Related Stuff. Love the photo of the pointer sisters on the back. Going to drop side 2 on now.

May just recycle this record back to the digging grounds. Kind of boring to me.

IN the mid 80's, a friend of mine an I were cruising Haight St. in SF (on foot, of course) and heard some surf music coming our of  a venue we had seen some great shows in- The I Beam- and sure enough, on the marque, there it was "The Ventures".  Neither of us has the cash to handle the cover charge, but it was fun hanging out a while and listening to these old surf tunes.  That band still had ti going on.  Would have been interesting to check them out.

D.R.I.  , don't know them, had to look them up.  Punk with some surf influences?

I listened to them in the 80s when I was young and would probably classify as hard core.  

I just can’t listen to some of the stuff I did in middle school..  SOD, MOD, DRI, Cromags and the like.  That was evidently just a phase for me.

Cool Brian. Can't see every show!

No surf. Just noise, but really set the stage for thrashcore. The roots of it all.
Worth knowing about, but I don't think you will like it.

The ‘Hank’ in Neil Young’s From Hank To Hendrix refers to Hank Marvin from The Shadows. He was a big influence on Neil, especially his early music with The Squires.

Very cool!  Here all along I thought Neil was referring to Hank Williams.  Nice bit of Neil/Shadows trivia, thanks!

Just picked up Lightsleeper by Neil & Liam Finn. Can't wait to give it a spin later this week!

Happy early birthday to you as well 🥳🥳🎈🎈🥂. Sounds like you have a great plan. I will likely wait until the weekend to celebrate. After doing nothing last year due to Covid I would really like to get some friends together. 

Thread integrity - where did you get the Beatles set. Let it Be is one of my favorites.

I just went amazon for those because they were a little cheaper and delivered the day of release. Can't wait till the movie comes out next month on Disney +.

I ended up ordering the Let It Be deluxe set today. Should be delivered tomorrow. The book it comes with sounds sounds pretty cool.

It is very cool yeah. I hope that Giles Martin can helm the reissues of Rubber Soul and Revolver too. He recently said that the remastering and mixing technology is almost to the point where it would be worth it but isn't quite there just yet. He explained that a lot of those older mono recordings had so many things recorded in one channel that it's hard to find the right balance of separation when doing the 5.1 or atmos type mixes or something like that. Here's hoping this technology advances sooner rather than later and we see deluxe reissues of those two albums as well.
