What better way to commemorate this iconic release than to FoamFeature© a swell long-playing L.P. record from Fleetwood Mac's curiousest period? Bonkers Bob Welch is aboard, with his improbably gorgeous melodies and his hospital radio D.J. glasses. Easy-going Danny Kirwan is here, just before he trashed the dressing room in a drunken rage for the last time, but thankfully batshit dashboard ornament Jeremy Spencer is off in the woods somewhere, eating dirt for God.
This is Bare Trees, but not the one you have. Out goes Old Lady Reading Shit Poem (aww - your favorite track!), and in comes something which damn well should have been there first time around. Yay.
You want this? Let's not kid ourselves - everybody wants this. Except Lindsey Buckingham, because all he wants is him, over and over again, all the time. A big oily bubblebath of Buckingham surrounded by mirrors, with piped concert applause and a planet-sized glitterball with every facet reflecting the light of his genius. It's nice he's so happy with so very little.
ReplyDeleteTo qualify for the Bare Trees album with the tracklist change that powers it to turbo-swellness, simply tell us the last piece of music you heard. Either you listened to or heard somewhere. Supermarket/elevator/street music, whatever - the last tune you heard.
TV Priest "Decoration"
ReplyDeleteAlso, when I was like 14, Stevie Nicks on that Buckingham Nicks album cover Richard Love had...the placement then shoulda told us of his self-regard.
Sigh. Back to grading.
Love that TV Priest song, Eric. And the album it rode in on!
DeleteLast song I heard in my head was "You Can't Talk To A Fool" by Etta James.
In the stacking system currently circling the blue skies above th' IoF©, swell screed from FoamFavorites© Steve Shark, Babs, and Jonder! Don't touch that dial! No flipping!
ReplyDeleteLast music heard was in a coffee shop 20 minutes ago: Roy Clark - "Yesterday, When I was Young."
ReplyDeleteClar! Did you get that sack o' soup greens I sent?
DeleteIt got seized at Customs. But thanks for the thought.
DeleteEver hear Roy Clark Live! From 1972, recorded at the Landmark Hotel in Las Vegas?
DeleteGee. Canadia's taking a hard line on kale.
DeleteBabs, I just did a fast check on YouTube for the Landmark Vegas set... alas with no luck. I've seen him live and he was great.
DeleteBabs, I take it back. YouTube does have it. I'm downloading.
DeleteYou won't be sorry, Mr. Prune.
Delete*Prune*
DeleteJoe Henderson's "Page One"
ReplyDeleteAlong with Joe's tenor saxophone are: Kenny Dorham on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Pete La Roca on drums.
Sublime.
Album, Babs? I'll try to find it.
DeleteDon't get cute.
DeleteIt's an artistic statement mean't to be heard in its entirety.
You are too funny! Seriously.

DeleteI rest my case.
DeleteRest your case in my face, baby!
DeleteI love when you talk dirty
DeleteIf you love my dirty talk, you'll go ape for my shorts.
DeleteAnd they say romance is dead.
DeleteSix Syllable Mantra Of The White Lotus Lord feeling in need of some uplifting chanting.Did the job.
ReplyDeleteFleetwood Mac with Peter Green any day over Buckingham.
Whilst, I agree Lindsey needs a damn good bitch/pimp slapping, he's not in my top twenty of "World's Most Slappable Men".
DeleteYou've never met Farq.
DeleteHey! I'm standing right here!
DeleteYou two should do the stand-up comedy circuit as a duo, or get married.
DeleteJust an observation.....
He turned down my proposal. But that was before my bionic knee.
DeleteYou can kneel, but you still got that cheap-ass ring.
DeleteHe has no idea what he's missing.
DeleteMy last post was a reply to Mr. Prunes: "He turned down my proposal. But that was before my bionic knee."
DeleteOh, here we go:
I'm not a robot, yeas I can click on motorcycles, stairs, crossing and traffic lights. If only we could have nice things.....
*Prune*
Deletein awe of Babs, might I suggest, humbly, that Farq is "an artistic statement mean't to be heard in its entirety." Well, maybe not it's entirety.
ReplyDeleteBab's, does such a line-up exist? Sounds like all killer, no filler.
I'm loadupping it shortly, Shirley.
DeleteJoe Henderson for your Sunday brunch n' bris!

Well there goes that future screed, down the drain.
Delete192kbps? That's chintzy.
DeleteIf your ears aren't in your feet. Ping me, and I'll post it in 320kbps and FLAC.
*rolls eyes*
DeleteOh, stop.
DeleteListing to "Page One" in 192kbps, is the auditory equivalent, of reading the Reader's Digest condensed version of Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain."
I prefer the original edition. Classics Illustrated.
DeleteLet's not forget CliffsNotes.
DeleteClifton Hillegass was genius. No really.
Damn y'all are funny. Y'all are so good you should on the stage.
ReplyDeleteand there's one leaving in 5 minutes.
We're here all week.
DeleteTry the veal or chicken...just not the fish.
Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Test Test Test...is this on?
ReplyDeleteSo that super new track is "Trinity", right? One of the best Mac tracks from that period (super riff! great memorable chorus!), so of course they kept it off the album, those stoner doofuses, but thought Mick Fleetwood doing funny voices and crap poetry was a keeper instead.
ReplyDeleteHell, I even take Boring Bob's stuff, as it is less coma-inducing than on the other albums featuring him and his receding hairline and fly glasses.
Oh, also. Despite (or rather: because of) stealing the lyrics wholesale, "Dust" is the most beautiful song in the entire Mac songlist. Two and a half minutes of perfection.
That is all. Now carry on with your open mic comedy night.
Is that a torrid three way looming there between Farq, Clarence and Babs...?
Just askin' so we can cover our eyes when the time comes...
Yep, it's Trinity. I don't think Bonkers Bob is ever boring, he has a great voice and can write earworm choruses.
DeleteOh, last tune I heard before going to bed yesterday. "C'est comme ça" from Catherine Ringer.
ReplyDeleteWent to a concert yesterday, might make a screed out of it if y'all 4/5 are interested...
Go for it, OBG! As you can see, the bar is set pretty low here, so your chances of getting a piece bounced are small. Well - small-ish.

Last music heard?
ReplyDeleteAccidentally, earlier today with Nick Heyward (Haircut 100) performing an acoustic version of Fantastic Day", which was really very good.
Intentionally, Dylan live "Enough is Enough" from the new Official Bootleg set. Mick Taylor on stunning form.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Rhino marketing were sorting out the cover art and deciding what to call Linds' new platter.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that a self-titled album with a portrait of the artist on the front is the sign of a career that's gone right down the toilet.
I think adding the name was so we didn't mistake the cover for chopped liver.
DeleteGood point on a career that's gone right down the toilet, SteveShark. There's usually a "Blues" album in the death throes of their career, too.
DeleteOh gawd yes - "I was always a blues player in my heart, it was the music I listened to, grew up with, and I'm proud to be able to continue that great heritage." Cue: tuneless twelve-bar with inappropriate lead guitar and possibly cowbell.
DeleteTheme from The Walking Dead. Preceding that by several hours, several tracks from bluesscene usa rhythm & blues of chicago vol. 1.

ReplyDeleteOboy! Didja grab this?

It's already been deleted.
DeleteIf there's anything you want, leave a request for it to be re-upped in the comments to the relevant post. There's hundreds of albums here, and I'm sure a good many of them are past their sell-by date.
DeleteIt's been re-upped in the comments to that piece, link above.
I put on a random shuffle of jazz most Sunday mornings and the last song to play was "Ralph's New Blues" off Oliver Nelson's (w/ Eric Dolphy) Straight Ahead
ReplyDeleteLast music heard was "Let’s Don’t Die At The Stoplight" off of the new Ward White album "The Tender Age." Before that it was "Hold Back The Night" by the Trammps.
ReplyDeleteMe: Pleasant Valley Sunday, up on shuffle, with that fantastic intro - so incredibly vivid - it's the eternal Saturday morning, 1967. Bliss.
ReplyDeleteMy mind's eye sees the ranch style suburban homes of the greater Los Angeles area when I hear this song; the "valley" is the San Fernando Valley. It turns out Goffin/King were writing about Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, New Jersey...
DeleteNez sez: "But I hate to pop your balloon about Pleasant Valley Sunday. That song was actually written about a mental institution."
Delete(I think we can assume he's having a joke at the expense of the interviewer - either that or he sees the Pleasant Valley suburbs as a kind of mental institution.)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the Bare Trees
The new enlarged image of Lindsey, made me realise he looks just like the lady who lives next door. Now don't any of you guys go round telling her that, she's a lovely woman.
