Music... I Listened to Some

Rolling Stone or Spin put ot a top 100 albums of all time issue and this was the #1 at the time. I bought it on a whim. Nearly 40 years later, they were quite possibly correct.
 
Brings back memories. I opened up a coffee bar in North Hollywood back in 1990, and had live music most nights of the week. Also did open mic nights and poetry nights. Charles/Black Francis/Frank Black, whatever you want to call him, hung out at my place regularly. Joey Santiago (from The Pixies) and his wife were also regulars. I guess it pre-dated the original break-up of The Pixies, but The Martinis were already playing around even though they didn't release any albums until much later. As I recall, The Martinis back then mainly consisted of Joey and his wife Linda Mallari, drummer Dawn Richardson (known from 4 Non Blondes), and Rachel Haden (yeah, one of Charlie Haden's daughters) on bass. They were an awesome live band and played at my establishment many times. Got to know them all quite well, and they were really nice people. Kinda neat, since I grew up in the northeast and got to see The Pixies many, many times throughout the mid-80s mainly in small clubs in Providence, RI and Boston, MA. We could talk about the "old times".
I was in the military at the time this came out, aged 20 -22ish. Hard to remember. MTV 120 Minutes was my go to at the time. No internet, just late night TV n a coed dorm. :devilish:

Finally saw Pixies at the Rose Bowl with The Cure a few years ago. Both bands fully delivered. Saw the Breeders in Pomona recently. No complaints.

Had a conversation with someone the other day about Deftones, and Big Brother kindly responded by putting this in my YouTube feed. Saw them a few times back in the proverbial day, and their sound live was so dense and powerful. They still seem to be in good form.

Gonna see RMFC later this month at Zebulon. they kinda remind me at times of SST era Screaming Trees and of Rick Agnew, his post Adolescents solo albums.


LOL, she was cute, until she actually spoke. Mine were Kim Gordon & Johnette.
