Sounds like Spinal Tap. And I mean that as a good thing.

Takes me right back to 9th grade. There I am, head between the speakers of my RCA portable stereo, doing my algebra homework. I was might have been wearing stay-pressed slacks, too.

INCREDIBLE COVER - GREAT SONG - AMAZING GINGER!

What kind of acid were they on when they made the album cover - window pane?

Disraeli Gears - The first album I ever purchased... And I bought it new when it came out. I bet I can still dig it up somewhere. I purchased the CD about 10 years ago too. The first 45 I bought was "Incense, Peppermints." That one is loooong gone.

I think we need an 11 for this one. "11-Transcendent"

Huh.. interesting.

I also thought this was remade by Monster Magnet - but it was a different cream song that sounds the same as this. You all should check it out ;)

(edit) Nevermind... Monster Magnet remade "Evil"

Sorry, that sounded nothing like Cream. Quite horrible actually!

I love my ipod, and I love that I can carry pretty much my entire music collection on my person without lugging around a backpack full of CDs, tapes, etc. but by the same token if all my music is on my hard drives, what chance will my own future kids ever have to dig around and learn how cool I was? .....


Just make sure that when you buy music to put on that iPod, buy the CD and load it that way. I must have 300+ CDs that my 5yr old has already started rifling through (not to mention the LPs that I still own from my youth).

Knowing very little about the relative histories of Cream and Leonard Cohen, I put forth that this song reminds me a lot of Suzanne:

Suzanne takes you down to
her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
....

Something about the narrative style and rhythm of the words. Maybe there is a very good (and/or obvious) reason for this that I'm missing.


Something tells me it would entertaining to play these songs live, with the lyrics interchanged... I'll get to work on that.

I never really liked anything this band did ever - always sounded tinny and dated and the lyrics are just weird.

But I can see how people would dig it since it hadn't yet been done over and over yet.

Lyrics are strange - I sing "White Room" in my band and always wonder how I can remember such lyrics!
But I can never remember the chorus properly.
Suffice it to say, I'm always happy to get to the wah-wah solo.

Note to self: Cloud Cult Water, Water to Cream Tales of Brave Ulysses is an awesome move to be remembered.
