Marvin Gaye “What’s Going On”
“Dear diary
Today was a fine day
I got the music in my soul
I’m writing songs and making records
I feel my life is finally whole
I can’t wait to tell my father
To see what he will say
Peace and love diary
Marvin Gaye”

[reply]Frank Zappa - Joes Garage
I have heard a few Zappa discs before, but this one is really great! Only heard first disc so far, but loving it.
Yes it is…Wait until you hear Act III. The trifecta of He Used to Cut the Grass-Packard Goose-Watermelon in Easter Hay is possibly one of the best stretches of Zappa music in his whole catalog. Easter Hay in particular is almost heartbreakingly beautiful, can’t say that about many Zappa pieces, haha.[/reply]
and any album that can make “fuck me you ugly son of a bitch” in reference to a robot (mind you this was the 70’s) deserves some sort of congressional RnR hall of fame medal of honor or something… I mean he fucks the robot… TO DEATH…
“The Harder They Fall” soundtrack, so fucking good!
The Beatles remasters. Just rediscovered the end of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy).” Goosebumps.
Switchblade - Schaft.
both stereo & mono beatles remasters are very nice. finally mono versions sourced from the master tapes and not the vinyl rips! but i want remixes (think “yellow submarine songtrack” and to a lesser degree “love”)
Bowie: “Heroes”
Going to have an Eno session later… was a long day.
Big Black - Lungs
I think this record was in heavy rotation in Paul Barker’s stereo at some point in the mid-80s.

next up–
the electric six
I never know what to think of these guys. I go back and forth to liking them to absolutely loathing them, usually over and over through each song.
