Supertramp - Logical Song

Seen this album cover a few thousand times since I was young and remember the song from its release in '78.
But until today, just now, did I look at it and realize it was a view from a plane and that the waitress on the cover is playing the statue of liberty. Holy cow I cant believe I just admitted that.....
holy cow, Dave...I can't believe you just educated me, too. There were just a few distractions in the late 70's..at least for me!

U2 - One Tree Hill
(Jul 06, 2011 - 05:52) | Cynaera wrote:Usually, when I hear a song it's on a very visceral level. Politics don't come into the picture - it's about how the song makes me feel, and whether it makes me dance or cry. Eventually I'll get around to reading the lyrics, but even then, sometimes it won't change how I feel about that song's first punch to my heart and gut. I bought the vinyl of "The Joshua Tree" because of "One Tree Hill." And then I bought "The Unforgettable Fire" on vinyl, based on the strength of what I'd heard from "The Joshua Tree," and I wasn't disappointed. I fell into the music the same as I did with the Led Zeppelin "Runes" vinyl. It was another world for me, and I became a part of it. I now have all three works on CD, in my Sidekick's 10-CD changer. If the price of gas wasn't so high, I'd probably never leave my vehicle. U2 might always be viewed as a controversial, politically-outspoken band, but for me, they're just people, making music that I love. Fire bad. Tree pretty.

Amen. This really is one of my favorite Hendrix songs. Somehow It mercifully wasn't overplayed by the "classic" rock stations that I listened to in my youth.

Yeska - Fideo

Afro-Cuban jazz was one expansion, and here's another just by adding a ska beat—and messing a bit with the horn arrangement. All it takes is one visionary to ask, "Why don't we just add...?" I have no idea if it has any staying power, but this is great stuff.
piano, nice. drums make the hips move, too

Me three. I'll take Thrasher please. Someone tell me Neil came first, right? There's a lawsuit here for one of them if Cat Stevens can go after the Flaming Lips for "Fight Test" vs "Father and Son"...
so is it crappy audio, or am I listening in a can? not too impressed, jimmy buffetesque.
