August 7, 1971

Some confusion with August 6, 1971, but No Known Recording.

A Light In August - William Faulkner

This was the first Faulkner that I've ever read and I was blown away. He writes in a way that feels like he is pulling you inside of his head. The writing is complex and wordy, but not so much that I felt like I had to re-read every other page. It's the right level of depth and complexity for me. Really a powerhouse writer. I'm glad I have many more of his books to read. Something to look forward to.

Pink Floyd - August 6, 1971

Pink Floyd
Hakone Aphrodite '71
Seikei Gakueb Jofundai
Hakone, Japan
August 6, 1971

Green is the Colour
Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Atom Heart Mother
Echoes
Cymbaline
A Saucerful Of Secrets

Good show. Great recording with the vocals being particularly loud. Rare stage announcements. There was a point during "Echoes" where I thought parts of the song were unnecessary.

Krautrocksampler 50 Friday - No. 31 - Harmonia - Deluxe

Another album of lame keyboard garbage. No love for this record at all.

The Tim Daisy/Ken Vandermark Duo at Now That's Class

Intense free jazz freakouts by these younger legends. Thank God Cleveland is still able to pull these kind of shows in.
