Currentism. The greatest album of all time is Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis. I doubt any album in their top ten is in the actual top 100.

thats at 38, its all Beatles and Pink Floyd until I stopped at 40. Kanye ahead of the Allman Brothers or Steely Day, get the fuck out
 
Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues (Live)

The recorded version is slightly better, but this performance is near perfection.

As a kid born in '67 that grew up in an era when AOR radio was king, there were bands/artists I became a fan of that at some point I was stunned to learn one the members died at the age of 27. Not always 27 but often. Janis, Jim, Brian, Jimi and Pigpen come to mind.

In any case when you're 10, 12, 15, it's a bummer to hear of their demise. But when I realized that Janis was one of them it ranked near the top of losses that left a mark on me. My brother was a big fan so I got to hear her a lot. My brother loved to torture me, but he introduced me to Janis, Prince, Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Dead, Boz Scaggs, Edgar Winter, Allman Brothers, etc and those reveals will forever be etched in my soul.

She's absolutely a legend, but I think is often over-looked.

She brought them to their feet at the '67 Monterrey Pop Festival, her first major show with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Great footage on the movie about that event.
 
38 years ago today, the band Falco released the album "Falco 3." That inventively named album contained the hit "Rock Me, Amadeus."

While standing in front of 600+ people, most of whom I didn't know, just before my wedding started. The entire time I was standing there, more or less alone, this was running through my head:

On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
And now I'm standing on a dais

And it kept a smile on my face the whole time.

My wife had a truly inspired idea for saving money on the ceremony - have it during the Sunday vigil mass (Saturday evening). It’s an old custom, but still valid. That Mass usual lay has ~350-400 people, add in our guests, and it was around 600, probably more. My wife would know how the exact number. We probably had 300 people at our reception. We did more of a party thing, carnival games outside, a food truck and different windows around the site that just kept churning out the food and drinks, not a sit down service with assigned seats, etc.. So that number can only ever be a guess.

That sounds like fun and, like you said, an inspired idea. We had 4, excluding the official: her parents and mine in a country house we had remodeled while occupying. It was right for us. A lot of good but different ways to skin a cat.
 
Beach House - Bloom

University profundity, but if you ignore the vacuity of the pose and just let it wash over you, it's a nice shower.

And, hey, Wayne Coyne loves it, and the dude who did Yoshima can tell me anything and I'll believe it.

Their lyrics are definitely not that intricate, but I feel the same way about the music. I can hear why Wayne would be a fan, and there's a bit of Cocteau Twins meets Cigarettes After Sex meets The xx thing going on that I'm on board with.
 
Morris Day & The Time - Prince Tribute

I became the right age (sort of) just as the Minneapolis Sound and alternative music exploded. I was lucky enough (and determined enough to take the bus from the burbs to the city to go to shows with a fake ID quite a few times) to see all these bands/artists play at 1st Avenue in the 80's: Prince &TR, The Time, Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Sheila E, The Suburbs, Tina & The B-Sides, Babes in Toyland, Husker Du, The Suicide Commandos, Curtiss A, The Wallets, The Flaming Oh's and on and on. It was a glorious time to be a local music fan.
 
Age 42 is quickly being defined by the Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, King Princess, Peach PRC, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and boygenius.
 
Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Austin City Limits. There isn't a full version on YT but if you can find the episode it's a fantastic performance.
 
My Discover Weekly playlist from Spotify was certainly interesting this week. There is usually a trend that permeates most of the songs and this week had both new and old artists with the mix being quite interesting. Not my all-time favorite list but it was good to step out of my immediate wheelhouse for a few hours. A few sampled:

-The Turtles
-Marth & The Clams
-Flo & Eddie
-Martha and the Muffins
-Dennis Wilson
-The Bats
-Nico
-NRBQ
-Roy Buchanan

This song in particular was a highlight. Python Lee Jackson & Rod Stewart
