Pink Floyd - September 30, 1971



Pink Floyd
Paris Cinema
London, UK
September 30, 1971

Fat Old Sun
One Of These Days
Echoes
Embryo
Blues

One of the more famous Pink Floyd boots, and for good reason. The show was hosted by John Peel and broadcast on BBC radio. Great sound, this one. I've listened to this boot a zillion times. A perfect boot to study to see what the Pink Floyd were doing.

Krautrocksampler 50 Friday - No. 39 - Popol Vuh - Affenstunde



I may have listened to this record out of sequence through some digital mishap although I am not sure it made a difference. This record is best used as background music for a community theater production of some sci-fi twilight zone deal. This record did not get in the way of me working from home.

William Faulkner (September 25, 1897 – July 6, 1962)



I read "A Rose for Emily" today for the first time and started "The Sound and the Fury." More total greatness. You can look at having never read a word of Faulkner until this year as some kind of mistake, like what the heck was I thinking. Or I'm ignorant. But you can also feel totally lucky and think how fortunate your are to have been hipped to him at all. And look at all of the reading you have to look forward to.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory



Yeah, yeah, yeah. It came out twenty years ago today. So did "Nevermind" by Nirvana. And when you think about time passing, it's kind of weird and whatever. I rememeber when this record came out. I was 19 and went to the "Nevermind" record release party at Peabody's Down Under and saw Nirvana right around the record being released at the Empire with Urge Overkill opening up. Both of those buildings have been torn down and nothing has replaced them yet. I guess they are building in the Flats. Aside from going to shows and being a young rock and roller, Nirvana was never really my thing. They did not speak to me. A Tribe Called Quest did and does. I haven't listened to Nirvana since 1991 aside from when Kurt Cobain died and it was on television all of the time. When I was a runner for a law firm, I used to play "The Low End Theory" and "The Chronic" and "3 Feet High and Rising" and the New Bomb Turks and Gaunt and the Pagans and Guided by Voices on cassette while walking around downtown CLE delivering envelopes. This was the 90s to me and my twenties.

Krautrocksampler 50 Friday - No. 38 - Neu! - Neu! '75



More of the same from Neu! Maybe a little less rock and a little more suck than the first two records but you'll have that over time.

Pink Floyd - September 23, 1971

Copenhagen, Denmark
September 23, 1971

Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Fat Old Sun
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Cymbaline
Atom Heart Mother
Echoes
A Saucerful Of Secrets
Blues

Good sounding audience recording with a long amount stage noise before Pink Floyd starts playing. I wonder if it was actual birds chirping before the start of the set or keyboard noises?

John Coltrane (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967)



Thanks for reminding me, honey.

As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner


"How do our lives ravel out into the no-wind, no-sound, the weary gestures wearily recapitulant: echoes of old compulsions with no-hand on no-strings: in sunset we fall into furious attitudes, dead gestures of dolls." p. 207

Krautrocksampler 50 Friday - No. 35 - MÅ“bius & Plank - Rastakraut Pasta & Material



Reminded me of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" record at times. My kid started dancing when iTunes moved on to Mogwai.
